Rocket Chat will get better, Slack will eventually fold or be sold off to a giant and who knows what'll happen. At least with Rocket Chat you'll be in control of your data and can be sure that tomorrow you may not see the classic notice we've all come to love:
"Dear Users, we at X Company love you, but the show is over, we're sorry. PS If you didn't get your data in the 10 minute window we provided, which wasn't all the data in actuality, it's been deleted, and by that we mean sold off to data mining companies, prepare for spam."

I've used Slack at a few larger companies. It isn't bad. But can't imagine using it over Rocket.Chat. NTG Lab has RC in the lab and a how to guide here to make it super simple.

Rocket is in the community, too.

Telegram also looked enticing, but we have to have something that is on-premise.

Many of us are on Telegram, but it is just an SMS replacement, it's in no way related to business products like Rocket, Slack or OpenFire and doesn't even begin to cover the same bases. It's just "enhanced secure text messaging", nothing more. Extremely limited.

Hi folks, I'm member of the Rocket.Chat core team.
We are glad to know that you are using and liking our chat platform.
If you don't want to install your server, we are offering our hosting solution, similar to what slack does.
Just go to the url https://rocket.chat/deploy to deploy your own server
It's free while in beta, and when we leave the beta you can export all your data and setup your own server if you don't like our prices
You can use our demo server to chat with me directly if you need https://demo.rocket.chat/direct/rodrigo.nascimento
Hope to see you there

ML is hitting capacity with their chosen mail service.
You may also need to verify it is enabled in your person settings

There is also a daily cap once the monthly resets.

@scottalanmiller Its the integration's that make Slack great.
There's thousands of the damn things and dependon on the slack we'll use different ones. (one for VMUG can use MailChimp/Eventbrite to track sign ups for an event, Stripe can track orders, ZenDesk can notify the team of a new ticket or threshold.
Or even the stupid ones like /hangout can create a quick video meeting (although they are integrating voice/video).I like the app because I have multiple teams I can easily flip between (Local VMUG, vExpert, pan galactic corp, my project team)

Anyone looked at using Slack in business for more than 50 users (we have about 120)? Looking at the product, I've wondered about AD integration but have found we might have to use a 3rd party tie in that's paid for (Bitium).
I did see though that there is an Enterprise version of Slack coming, not sure what it would cost or if it would even be viable. Anyone tried it?
Seems rather expensive for what it is..

If another solution can come along and offer anywhere near the cross compatibility and the integration, then Slack will have to start changing their model.

We got past that, it should not daily cap any longer.
