IT Pro Chat!
-
There is a reason that we didn't consider it for long. And really, Slack isn't all that good.
-
Even $6 a month is unreasonable. It should be $12 a user per year if anything
-
A small business with 100 employees would pay $15,000 a year for CHAT!
That is unreal
-
@IRJ I'll give you a hint, they don't

They do. I've worked with several companies in the last year that are paying for Slack. Trust me, people really are paying for it.

I wonder how they make money with those prices....

I've seen companies with 300 on that plan. That's $45K for just one of the three chat programs that they use (Skype and Hipchat being the others.)

Unreal. Any other chat programs cost nearly that much?
-
Not that I know of. HipChat isn't cheap, but isn't that much, either.
-
@scottalanmiller It's 2/user/month. Not even close. I call that cheap.
-
Cheaper than I thought. Not so bad. NTG's hosted IM product ten years ago was just $1/user/mo.
-
@scottalanmiller don't forget that self-hosted is just $10/per year!
-
And Slack has new MORE EXPENSIVE options coming this year too!
-
Why wouldn't a business look at the cost and ask if there are any alternatives.
It seems like a lot when compared to something like OpenFire.
Is there some collaboration feature I'm not seeing here, or what?

Integration.
Slack integrates into all the things. Well damned near all the things. -

Hi! Gabriel Engel from Rocket.Chat here. Sorry for the intromission, but I was told about this thread and thought that it would be useful if I could clarify some comments made here and make myself available for questions
-
Please let me know what problem are you having with the fileupload? We will release the S3 adapter soon that should make things easier.
-
We also plan to offer a hosted version, about 12$/user/year and some option when you just pay per server with unlimited users, so it will depend on the usage profile of the organization. We think this should appeal to large communities with a lot of users but not proportionally as much traffic . Visit https://rocket.chat/deploy if you want to have your own team, for free while on beta.
-
We build a slack compatible integrations API, so most of the apps that integrate with Slack, will work with Rocket.Chat, you just need to point to the right REST URL.
-
We have some features that we believe will be good reasons to move from Slack:
- Audio and Video Conference (WebRTC)
- Built-in Live-chat for Websites (you can see on our own site)
- Federation (beta)
- Screen-Sharing
- Self-Registration
- Theming and Branding via admin panel
Again, sorry for the intromission, have a nice day!
