Opiniones de Rocket.Chat

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.

The idea to have WhatsApp and other platforms in the communication channel.

Not working. Plan and simple not working at all.

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.

Is great that you can have all your users and create different groups to mantain control of the correct communications.

The notifications do not always are synchronized in the mobile app.

It's an instant messaging software so you can use it in a workplace to get in touch with each other on a daily basis.

The UX/UI is not great. My manager/boss is in control of everything. They can read conversations and how much time you spend on it. They also restricted a lot of things. Maybe it's not how it's intended to be used but I really don't like this software. I have two workplace, and really Slack is way but ay better.

Can be deployed easily on your own infrastructure. Easy to integrate with other applications, using web hooks. The fact that it's open source makes it accessible to so many companies!

Some functionality doesn't seem to be thought through, for example the colour of the room title changes based on the room title and can't be customised. It would be great if you could just pick a colour. The current threaded conversations don't stop multiple conversations in a room turning into a complicated conversation. The slackbot equivalent 'Hubot' isn't heavily worked on, so lags behind Slack in this department.

Cost effective hosting
Good Integrations
Simple to use

Customer Support
Help documentation is a bit lacking

It is easy to setup and a good alternative to slack. It is easy to start channels and hold conversations.

On the phone app you can't actually start a thread. You can however on the computer which makes the channel a little disjointed at times.

I like that RocketChat can be deployed as self-hosted, this makes our work communication safe and highly-secure. All the necessary features are available: audio and video conferencing, screen sharing, chatting, file sharing, APIs etc.

RocketChat video conferencing was under development, so for these purposes we integrated Jitsi Meet into this software.

Firstly the sharing feature of this product is of unique importance that helps me to share unlimited files and folders to numerous people anywhere in the world in just few seconds. Another feature that I found more valuable is that I can easily receive material in order to make effective marketing programs through this special application.

It’s beneficial enough to maintain all the communication tasks on daily basis with a lot of ease. So, making good collaborative projects within certain time period is not less than a blessing for me. There are really no cons at all.

The open APIs are great, we use a lot with other teamates.

It's not so easy to implement. It could be more intuitive.

I like it for live chat, making groups or discussions.

Sometimes its hard to use it on the mobile phone and icons are really small.

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.

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.
