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?

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!

I do have a quick question. I'm using CentOS 7 following the documentation on GitHub. When I do
n 0.10.40, it downloads and acts like it switched but if I typenode --versionit's still on 0.10.36 -
-
We also support all kinds of oAuth (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Github, Gitlab and custom), CAS and LDAP/AD integration (with is being refactored for the next release).

I keep seeing AD mentioned here - but personally I'm much more interested in seeing Azure AD integration. If I'm an Office 365 business user, that's where I want as much authentication to come from as possible.

That's the destination but I have to figure out the here and now of it as well

Here is where me not using Microsoft much get's me. What's different between a normal AD server and Azure AD? Isn't Azure just the hosted version?

Nope, Azure AD only support Windows 10 and Azure based products. Currently I don't think any Windows Server version works with it, though I have to assume Server 2016 will integrate directly.
Hosted AD is available, and that is just like local AD, just hosted.

I messed with it the other day. I have a Windows 10 trial VM that I set up. I used AzureAD to authenticate. I'm so lost between the Microsoft accounts, school and work accounts, and the AzureAD account which was just my name.

Not exactly. To my understanding, Azure AD is a simplified AD infrastructure right now.
If you want full AD on Azure, you need to spin up a server and join it to your domain over VPN.

This is definitely a problem. I don't know about you, but I have all of those accounts - I have a school account - going to college currently, I have a personal account - old hotmail account that's been upgraded a zillion times, and an Office365 account (which is an Azure AD account).

I've been using LastPass. Edit: Life is so much easier with something to take care of those for you. /Edit Tho when my year subscription comes up this time I'll probably be moving to something else after they sold to that other company, that sucks the big one.

@gabriel.engel welcome! Great to see Rocket here.
