      But it'd be a nice place to hang out and just chill without cluttering up the forums with funny cat pics. 😄

      I only come here for the cat pics

        $12.50 per user per month?

        Yup, we demo'd it for like ten minutes and @Minion-Queen was like...um, no.

        That's 12.50 per AD user? Seriously? wat

        Per user, AD or not.

            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

                    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.

                        On the west coast, they are so popular that they are almost an assumption.

                          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! 😄

                                        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.

                                            Well, OpenFire can connect to AD. All the things should be connecting to AD, right?
