Rocket.Chat Reviews

Rocket Chat is, in my opinion, the best alternative to Slack that is available today. The best part about Rocket Chat is that you can install it on your own local servers so you're no reliant on someone else storing your data on their servers on the Internet. This can be particularly valuable for those who may distrust the Internet a good deal. Rocket Chat offers a wide variety of features that make it, again in my opinion, the best contender to face off against the Slack platform.

Rocket Chat can sometimes be tricky or actually impossible to update and the features and settings can sometimes be a little difficult to understand what exactly they do.

Well, amazingly it's free for personal and commercial use. On top of that it works very well, and you can even deploy in a docker, which means you can get it up fast. It has tons of functions that you can integrate to compete with the discord and slack. Tons. Also, you can integrate bots, which seems like the latest thing.

I can't really think of any Cons, except maybe not great for the technologically challenged. This software is robust, so you can get lost in settings pages if you don't know where to go. Still, I think anyone who can follow directions can get this working.

This software has web version and desktop version. I can create private and public conversation groups. Colleagues mentioned in conversations receive notifications quickly. The icon library is large.

- It is not possible to search for images and texts within the conversation.
- Most of the time, I can't attach a file.
- There is no library of the images exchanged.
- It is difficult to locate old texts.
- There is no sending of audios.
- No voice and video conversations.

rocket chat allows multiple users to join and collaborate in channels that allows for free flow of communication on a regular basis, it is a very interactive tool for project managers to communicate to large number of people and to allow them to share information freely. one can also use rocket chat to send direct messages to users who have access to the rocket chat platformone can download rocket chat on the mobile platform both Android and iOS and on desktop both for Windows, macOS and Linux

sometimes if the app fails you have to use the browser to log in

The team behind Rocket.Chat delivers an ongoing effort to improve the software and add new features. Feature requests and bug reports are handled professionally.
You can deploy the server on premises or in the cloud. It also has lots of clients (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OSX, ... and of course web!)

Most of the admin settings can be configured via the web interface.

I use Rocket.Chat within a docker container and Traefik for SSL termination and proxy. Works like a charm.

Administration is not that easy and the documentation sometimes lacks in depth descriptions. Some functionality is not yet available in all clients.

The amount of resources this application needs to run in the background is remarkably low. It is free, open source and maximizes your time when sending along a quick message. We use it in the sales team to get a quick answer if we are unsure of the answer. A great and effective tool which makes us appear smart and knowledgeable.

Updates. The platform while quick to work out bugs does require you to re-start the app after the update.

Rocket.Chat is great in terms of the fact that it allows you to manage your own chat server without having to go through third party services and paid subscription plans. You just download and install the server and you're good to go as long as you install and configure the chat client (or you could even use it through the web client). It also provides an interesting websocket + RESTful web service interface which you could integrate with any application you build. It is free and open source, so if you play your cards right, you have an effective, modern chat server for free.

It can be a hindrance at times to do more granular configuration on a Rocket.Chat server and it takes a while to figure these things out.

A platform proper for team working. Sober but efficient design with very intuitive features.

I need more customization of the profile, so anyone can see a perfil more complete and pro-like.

Easy to use, good quality, intuitive for users with little technology skills

Can be expanded to more user cases with utilising more of the features. consequently make it harder for users with less computer skills to catch up with other advanced users.

Rocket.Chat is an awesome solution for enterprise chat. As a remote employee, its my main tool to connect with my peers. It enables me in a easy way to contact and share information and files. Also, since the company hosts it, I find it secure to share sensitive data

The big problem with Rocket.Chat is usability. The mac application has a poor implementation , that resembles old chat applications like MSN Messenger. Its an outdated design that needs innovation ASAP

We use rocket chat in our company. It was the most convenient switch after (sad) years using Skype. Rocket is a rich tool for collaboration: group chats, file sharing, privileges, chat customization, etc. All at a cost of zero!
It's open source meaning there is a lot of eyes at this product code and quality. Updates are available often too.

It is not possible to quote a message originated in a different chat room, so if you have an important message to share for others, most likely you end up copying it and then pasting.

Good product for communication for smaller organisation. We can create private channels and it helps us to improve overall productivity by discussing projects as well sharing new ideas.
Best things that I like the most are audio and video conferencing and screen sharing.

Only load image files as well don't have file versioning. It is also lacking in calendar and contact sharing.

Rocket Chat is easy to use, our team uses it daily! Intuitive and high-quality chat with all functions needed (e.g. private chats, hidden chats, ability to edit or delete messages). Our team's been using it since 2018 and we're extremely happy to communicate via Rocket Chat! Thanks for doing this, guys!

I'd change nothing, it'sa cool communication tool for businesses

Ease to use, compatible with another apps and union of 3 others soluctions

Integrate video conference without third part and better report on livechat

Good software to used by the organisation for communicating with the employees and for team discussions.

It's version is change very quickly i.e after every week so the user is frustrating sometime to updating it everytime.
