But MS makes software almost identical to Rocket.Chat. I'd complain that you didn't approve MS and AT&T has violated its own firewall policy!

tell them that you want your money back for not blocking even the most obvious IM platforms. They make Teams, Skype, Skype for Business. Heck, is AT&T blocking ANYTHING?

Just the wrong things.

Maybe they block companies in Brazil? Worth picking up the phone as asking why they felt that a small Brazilian IM vendor should be blocked because "it's IM" when they don't even host IM, only offer software... but a giant US IM vendor is not blocked when they offer both software AND hosting of it? Logically, the US one should be blocked based on any logic that was used to block the Brazilian one. Never be afraid to accuse a company of overtly racist or nationalistic tactics, works like a charm (and legitimately, this isn't an okay thing to block like this.)

Live chat is on a best effort basis but quite a few end users love it.
What do you use for you knowledge base backend?
Same software.
And whats great is I can have unlimited of everything, I only pay per user.
A company wants us to provide white label support? No problem. Whole new support desk created.

@Tim_G OK, got your point and see its validity. But what about when you are servicing multiple, remote SMB customers with a team of 3+ support guys?
We use Rocket.Chat. It's awesome.
For internal communicaiton. What about external with the clients.
That, I think, is the point of this thread. How useful is IM for the public facing side?
Rocket is great for that. It's external exposure for clients is quite powerful.
I did not realize it had this function. I will be looking into it now.

It's very nice. We build it into WordPress sites for example.
