Chat Software für Verein mit >700 Mitgliedern
Wir nutzen Rocket.Chat für unseren Segelverein mit mehr als 700 Mitgliedern. Davon sind teilweise mehrere hundert täglich online. Auch bei hohem Traffic werden Nachrichten zuverlässig und schnell zugestellt. Wir hosten den Dienst auf unseren Servern selbst und haben einen großzügigen Vereinsrabatt erhalten. Lediglich mit den Push-Benachrichtigungen haben wir hin und wieder Probleme.
Vorteile
Vernetzung aller Vereinsmitglieder auf einer gemeinsamen Plattform, Gruppen- und Einzelchats möglich, Durchführung von Umfragen direkt in Chatgruppen möglich (mit Umfragen-Bot)
Nachteile
Der Dienst für die Push-Benachrichtungen fällt hin und wieder aus, sodass neue Nachrichten manchmal unentdeckt bleiben

This OpenSource tool made our whole business possible
We started our self-managed hosted community version of Rocket.Chat a week before starting our company. We were able to quickly facilitate collaboration and communication in our firm. We have implemented a custom made chatbot linked to our MySQL database for work distribution. This tool have been and still is the best we have used in the last two years. It is our "remote office" base. Amazing software, very customizable, unlimited possibilities.
Vorteile
The possibility of having a self-managed version of it, running on our own servers, for free. This ensured our data stayed ours. We also implemented a chatbot connected to our MySQL and automatized the work distribution.
Nachteile
There are over 1200 permission settings. Around 50% of the software is "okay" documented, the rest indicates it is "under development". Very complex to know exactly what impact will have each setting.
Gründe für den Wechsel zu Rocket.Chat
Free community self-managed(hosted) version and it is OpenSource. This ensured we kept ownership on our data / ideas. It is much more effective than emails, and allow collaboration with hundreds of users for free. Great community working on it.

Lots of features as open-source & enterprise group chat software
Rocket.Chat has been very useful and relatively low-maintenance. Especially since we deployed it in MongoDB Atlas (another commercial product as DBaaS), so our MongoDB cluster is also low-maintenance.
There are many features that can be enabled and configured, it's quite overwhelming at first. (to be honest, it still is now) But it makes me feel good too because if there's a use case, I feel that maybe 60-70% of the time, Rocket.Chat already provides that as an option.
Vorteile
The core software is open-source, so the cost is low to get started. You have the option, but not forced to, to purchase business/enterprise support and upgrade for additional features, and Rocket.Chat company also provides hosting services. In case you want to modify the code (likely you won't need it), but you can, so it's a big plus for feeling in control.
Rocket.Chat supports OpenID Connect for SSO authentication out-of-the-box, which we integrate with FusionAuth and it works as expected. So really happy about this.
We also did submit some patches and enhancements to Rocket.Chat GitHub, and while response time varies, we were welcomed, some of our contributions were accepted, some were not accepted but with clear explanation. So we're very happy that we can collaborate directly with Rocket.Chat developers and hopefully having good relationship in the long term.
Nachteile
I still see stability issues, sometimes chats not refreshing, and random minor issues. It's quite hard to debug/diagnose the issue, and on GitHub some issues have been waiting for weeks or months. I understand this is complex code without various platforms connected together, and to be fair Rocket.Chat tried to provide several debugging options inside it, so they do put effort in this.
Configuring to use own Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notification is tricky, and requires deploying customized Android and iOS app... but this is to be expected and I'm not sure how it can be made easier.
It still feels that they're pushing for new features more than to fix bugs. Which can be both a good thing or bad thing, depending on which side you're getting.

Rocket Chat - Good But not Great
Rocket Chat is a cost-effective communication solution for small businesses. However, when compared to its competitors (particularly Slack), it's not a product I'd suggest to someone trying to get the most out of it. The development team must work harder to stabilize the program and make it more user-friendly.
Vorteile
1. I like the notification system. It's highly unlikely that you will miss a crucial notification. When the status is set to busy, the notifications will stay in the background
2. It is definitely cheaper compared to its competitors
3. It's good for team collaboration and communication with the ability to create changes
4. The emojis spice up the communication
5. It also offers SSO functionality where users can log in with their GSUITE credentials
Nachteile
1. The major con has to be the User Interface. It could definitely use a lot of improvements to make it smooth
2. When starting it for the first time, the servers actually take forever to load
3. It hangs quite a lot even with a very strong internet connection and high spec laptop
4. The file sharing option could be made smoother.
5. The video call option is still missing
6. It's very easy to miss notifications while using the mobile app

Good & free corporate chat alternative
Rocket.Chat is an overall-nice & free alternative to other enterprise messaging tools.
A few words about setting it up:
- The server runs on-premises, so all chat data currently resides in our own infrastructure - this was also one of the reasons we chose this.
- Secondly it supports LDAP, so this played well with our Active Directory accounts.
- Voice calling requires additional setup, which we decided to skip.
- Mimetypes for supported file attachments need to be configured by hand, one-by-one
And about usability: first of all, it does lack some nice-to-haves here and there:
- It cannot be integrated with SharePoint, so there are no status updates when going in a meeting.
- Since the desktop client is an Electron app, notifications are a bit lacking; these aren't persistent and besides showing a small blip in the system tray icon, you can't really tell whether there are any new messages.
- Also due to the client being an Electron app, it cannot support systemwide shortcuts
- It lacks the "threading discussion" that you see in other chat apps.
However, all basic features are in place. Pasting images and links gives you a nice preview and text formatting is simple and works as expected.
Also, it has a nice Off-The-Record mode where messages are not persisted.
And finally, features are still being developed so new features are added constantly.
Vorteile
- Supports LDAP authentication
- On-premises server
- Platform availability (both web, mobile and Desktop)
- Good & clean usability
Nachteile
- Some things are still not working in the mobile native app (e.g.: voting on polls)
- No support for threaded chat
- No straightforward integration with SharePoint
- Electron client app only, so notifications are a bit lacking

We switched back to Slack
From a hosting perspective it has been running good, but our users do not like the experience comparing it to Slack.
Vorteile
Rocket.chat is a great alternative to Slack with the possibility to run it without license costs on-premise. Documentation is good and a lot of Slack integrations also works with rocket.chat.
Nachteile
Push notifications has been bugging and recently limits has been introduced for the push gateway. Our users does not like it because it is not Slack.

An open source scalable chat platform
Vorteile
Rocket Chat is a completely open source and scalable platform. I love all the options that are offered from: message history, public & private channels, video, admin options, and more. The options are unlimited and I don't think I would ever use them all; but I'm glad they are there.
Nachteile
Support & Sales are diffcult to contact. I like talking to an actually person over the phone when making larger scale changes to my organization.

Secure and complete communication app
Vorteile
One of the most important pro is the data protection, you know that all the info disclosed through messages are secured. It can be downloaded on different devices: Android, iOS, Windows, Linux. The app is really easy to use, has a lot of helpful features to maintain good communication.
Nachteile
There are only two things I would like to see Rocket.chat improve: the Search section (searching for a specific word won’t show the right results, but random messages), and that the new messages notification don’t always pop up.

Excellent alternative to Slack - has everything you need without the paywall
Rocket.Chat is perfect for setting up a communications channel with a lot of people where investing money for using the software is not an option (e.g. leisure clubs etc.)
Vorteile
Rocket Chat was a welcome alternative to Slack when we were facing hefty monthly fees to continue using it. Rocket Chat pretty much can do exactly what Slack also can, but it costs absolutely nothing which is great.
Nachteile
You need to have basic skills in terms of Linux, webhosting etc. to be able to set up Rocket.Chat. Otherwise you're going to be in for a headache.

A lot of features, but lacking bug fixes
We needed a way to control users access to in a chat. We wanted out company chat in our pockets and didn't want to use Slack. We wanted a branded chat that we could include our customers in as well. This fit that need perfectly. If those bugs were just out of the way we'd be in business.
Vorteile
Rocket.Chat has so many features it's crazy. I mean, there's a feature in here to authenticate using Wordpress! So cool! They have both React Native and native apps so getting this customized and deployed is pretty easy. It works pretty well out of the box minus a few bugs. It's got a large community backing most of the repositories which is a huge plus. Overall there's a lot going for it.
Nachteile
Bugs... OMG the bugs are ruthless. Right out of the gate the React Native version didn't have avatar uploading working. We had to pay $1000 to contract out a developer to fix the issue for us. The issue wasn't really a fix more than it was a hack so we weren't able to push it back into the main development branch.
There's also a problem with notifications right out of the box. That is really frustrating and we still don't have notifications working on our platforms.

Rocket.Chat Open Source Messaging Platform
We're using it just within the Systems department, and I like that it's installed locally and is completely controlled by us. We use it daily for quick messages between systems techs that don't need to be on our cloud messaging platform.
Vorteile
I love the simplicity and functionality of Rocket.Chat, especially for an open source app. Integration with Active Directory was quick and easy, and the mobile, desktop, and Web apps work great!
Nachteile
My one niggle with RC is with the way notifications work when you're logged in on multiple devices and apps. When I read a message on my desktop app, it's not marked as read on my mobile apps. I've searched high and low in the admin settings and can't find anything that I can turn on to fix that.

Not as collaborative and easy to use as it seems
Not the best collaborative tool. Maybe for small teams which really needs to be controlled.
Vorteile
It's an instant messaging software so you can use it in a workplace to get in touch with each other on a daily basis.
Nachteile
The UX/UI is not great. My manager/boss is in control of everything. They can read conversations and how much time you spend on it. They also restricted a lot of things. Maybe it's not how it's intended to be used but I really don't like this software. I have two workplace, and really Slack is way but ay better.

A good open source alternative to Slack
Vorteile
Can be deployed easily on your own infrastructure. Easy to integrate with other applications, using web hooks. The fact that it's open source makes it accessible to so many companies!
Nachteile
Some functionality doesn't seem to be thought through, for example the colour of the room title changes based on the room title and can't be customised. It would be great if you could just pick a colour. The current threaded conversations don't stop multiple conversations in a room turning into a complicated conversation. The slackbot equivalent 'Hubot' isn't heavily worked on, so lags behind Slack in this department.

Overall it does what it is supposed to do. It allows multiple people to chat, comment, and put emojis on posts. It also allows a private conversation.

Nachteile
On the phone app you can't actually start a thread. You can however on the computer which makes the channel a little disjointed at times.

Great free tool for communication
Easy to set up, easy to configure and easy to use.
Vorteile
I like that RocketChat can be deployed as self-hosted, this makes our work communication safe and highly-secure. All the necessary features are available: audio and video conferencing, screen sharing, chatting, file sharing, APIs etc.

Most useful and helpful product
I would say in a nut shell this product is a huge savior to keep a steady workflow within any organization or company as well.
Vorteile
Firstly the sharing feature of this product is of unique importance that helps me to share unlimited files and folders to numerous people anywhere in the world in just few seconds. Another feature that I found more valuable is that I can easily receive material in order to make effective marketing programs through this special application.
Nachteile
It’s beneficial enough to maintain all the communication tasks on daily basis with a lot of ease. So, making good collaborative projects within certain time period is not less than a blessing for me. There are really no cons at all.

It just does not work.
I installed the app after my project lead mentioned that it can be used to connect to the organizations' chat platform but the experience has not been a bit fun, because I do not get any notifications and it's slow response and refresh time.
Vorteile
It can be used with my organizations' chat platform so that I can check messages from my project lead and team members even if I am not at my pc.
Nachteile
I do not get notifications at all, I am late to reply to so many messages because I do not get any of the notifications. And I have to refresh every time to check if I got any new messages.

Peut mieux faire
Vorteile
Rocket est une bonne solution open-source, mais a de nombreux défauts. En dehors de son coût gratuit, on peut y intégrer quelques outils. On peut y gérer différent canaux de discussions ou des groupes, mettre des utilisateurs en favoris, et, bien évidemment !, échanger des messages.
Nachteile
Il est difficile d'avoir des fils de discussions, cela est assez peu clair. De même, l'application desktop est assez gourmand en mémoire et ne permet de sauvegarder ses identifiants, nous forçant à nous reconnecter à chaque fois. Impossibilité de mettre facilement des gifs, impossible d'envoyer certains types de fichiers... Difficile la comparaison face à Slack par exemple !

Nachteile
Il ne vous donne pas de description des membres du personnel, comme leur titre de poste ou leur numéro de téléphone. Il change également votre statut en absent, et vous ne pouvez pas le changer sans le redémarrer. Il se bloque toujours quand une mise à jour sort et n'est réparé qu'après la mise à jour.

Rocket Chat Makes virtual chat a Cinch
Vorteile
I like that you can post a message in real time along with pinging a specific person or even using an emoji to decorate the message. I also like that you favorite a room so it remains on your conversations list, you can update your profile and settings fairly easy and that you can edit or delete a message you posted if needed.
Nachteile
I do not like when the software lags at times , where it takes almost a minute for it to catch up to the current messages. I also do not like that sometimes the pinned messages feature works and sometimes it doesnt. You can pin a message to it but you wont be able to see it, im not sure if theres a character count or not with that. I also do not like when you do a direct message or private message with an individual theres no way to delete the message when its not needed anymore, you can only hide the message.

For open source level extensibility, Rocket.Chat is your solutions
It has benefitted us a lot as we use it to manage our project and keeping the conversation in channel keeps it transparent between fellow colleagues
Vorteile
It is a very professional software which is widely used in professional environments like Offices and workspace. Also it lets you share files, make channels (groups) for activities, projects and other stuffs. It have features to delete the message with upthreads and also provision to reply in threads and follow/unfollow feature to unsubscribe from the notification.
Nachteile
Mobile app has some issues with the push notifications, in web it works perfectly fine, but a little customization can help that. Moreover for keyboard users like me, there should be some more keyboard aided shortcuts to Edit/ delete messages instead of drawing over mouse actions.

Rocket Chat is very User Friendly
I havent seen too many issues with Rocket Chat. All systems have the occassional stall or update that needs to be done and when it does go down it isnt for too long. The other features it has outweigh the cons.
Vorteile
I like using rocket chat cause its an easy tool for communication. You can type in it with ease, the room you have set up is easy to find. I also like that you can search chats from prior days using the search/filter option. I also like that you can send private messages via the chat itself outside of the rooms. I also like how you can edit a posted chat if needing to update it or delete it entirely.
Nachteile
I dont like that when someone sends you a private message theres no way to delete the message. You can hide it but i feel there should be a delete option also. I also dont like the reply thread cause the writing is soo tiny and everyone in the room can see what you are replying. I think that feature should be done away with.

My 6 months with Rocket Chat
Very satisfied . I have used Slack, Teamwork Chat before, but Rocket Chat is very economical to me ( free- minus the VPS cost). ANd it has everything we need.
Vorteile
1. Installation is a breeze. I was able to install Rocket Chat, get SSL configured, and had a running server set up in an hour without having to wave through endless linux commands.
2. Inbuilt support, for Video call using Jitsi, and inbuilt notifications.
3. Slack like user interface , which my team can instantly connect to.
Nachteile
1. The Quote a message, can be improved, it is visually not very clear.
2. The Video call doesn't ring inside the application, only gives a button to join which makes people skip it some times.
3. On Windows, if the app is running in background, you need to go to the notification panel to bring it to front, if you start from the Start Menu, it doesn't come to front.
Overall, the shortcomings are very less and trivial. The software is very stable and a breeze to use.

Simple UI app for effective team communications
Good app for communications with useful features such as selective tagging and color coding of names and mentions. Replies to messages can be made through emojis leading to less clutter and spam massages. Replies can also be made in a thread like manner to any messages leading to very orderly display of messages.
Vorteile
Selective tagging of teammates inside a particular chat and the option to get notifications only from direct tagged mentions. Replies to messages in thread like manner and emoji replies help in keeping the UI orderly and have less clutter.
Nachteile
Significant delays in updating of messages leading to improper communications during critical project times. Takes several attempts of refreshing to get the latest messages and mentions.

Rocket.Chat is simple and easy to use instant messaging.
The solution positively surprised us and we found it simple to install and configure on our network for use in internal communication using chat and alerts. It is an effective solution and fulfills its objective very well.
Vorteile
Rocket.Chat software was implemented early in the COVID-19 pandemic to keep people in our department active and collaborative while working remotely. We customized the layout and created workgroups to integrate the team and it worked very well. No delays and no communication failures.
Nachteile
Support is a bit of a downside, but it's rarely used. The tool works well and we have not had any reports of serious problems.

Excellent Open Source Chat Solution with Many Integrations
Overall, Rocket.Chat provides all of the chat solutions I am looking for. Public channels, private channels, private messaging, Webhooks and integrations, including SMS and a website chat widget. Setup is incredibly easy using Docker or Ubuntu Snap.
Vorteile
It's open source, easy to deploy and customize. It allows for easy integrations using Webhooks, with Twilio's API, and has a live chat widget for your website.
Nachteile
There are still a couple of quirks in the iOS app, but overall it runs smoothly. Accessing and registering for the Rocket.Chat cloud marketplace is not as intuitive as it could be. The marketplace also requires a paid plan.

Rocket si vraiment on n'a pas le choix
Vorteile
Beaucoup moins utilisé que Slack, Rocket propose beaucoup moins d'outils et de paramétrages pour personnaliser votre expérience. Il fait ce qui est basique : proposer de chatter avec des équipes, créer des conversations de groupes.
Pour le reste, c'est pas forcément ce qu'il y a de mieux...
Nachteile
Le logiciel en tant que tel est une catastrophe qui a tendant à consommer une mémoire ram phénoménale (facilement 2Go de RAM) et qui, en plus, est rempli de bugs divers et variés (déconnections intempestives, écrans gris, conversations cryptées impossible à décrypter...). Et en plus, le logiciel est incapable de se souvenir de vous, il faut se reconnecter systématiquement...

As close as you can get to Slack without being Slack
Overall I have been using Rocket Chat for over a year now and it's been a great tool for collaboration and communication internally.
Vorteile
Rocket Chat is, in my opinion, the best alternative to Slack that is available today. The best part about Rocket Chat is that you can install it on your own local servers so you're no reliant on someone else storing your data on their servers on the Internet. This can be particularly valuable for those who may distrust the Internet a good deal. Rocket Chat offers a wide variety of features that make it, again in my opinion, the best contender to face off against the Slack platform.
Nachteile
Rocket Chat can sometimes be tricky or actually impossible to update and the features and settings can sometimes be a little difficult to understand what exactly they do.

A completely free chat tool for a basic use
For a free software, it is a good one. It could replace a basic use of Slack for example. You could spare some cost for a startup, as it is for our case.
Vorteile
It is FREE. Really free. COMPLETELY free chat system, documents sharing, team discussions and info sharing.
Also, you can create conversation inside channel as a room. Quite handy to avoid 1000 channels.
Nachteile
There are bugs that are not fixed (and it has been years...) Eg : once you remove notifications from a channel, even if you try reactivate them, it does not work anymore.
It is very confusing to go back if you click on add a file out of purpose... It makes it difficult to use sometimes.

Rocket.Chat is an open-source discord or slack. A chat program you can host on your own...
I used this product as a secure chat interface to get away from facebook.
Vorteile
Well, amazingly it's free for personal and commercial use. On top of that it works very well, and you can even deploy in a docker, which means you can get it up fast. It has tons of functions that you can integrate to compete with the discord and slack. Tons. Also, you can integrate bots, which seems like the latest thing.
Nachteile
I can't really think of any Cons, except maybe not great for the technologically challenged. This software is robust, so you can get lost in settings pages if you don't know where to go. Still, I think anyone who can follow directions can get this working.

Good corporate chat software, but it can be better
I've used a lot of corporate chat chats. This is software that needs to be improved. It has few resources.
Vorteile
This software has web version and desktop version. I can create private and public conversation groups. Colleagues mentioned in conversations receive notifications quickly. The icon library is large.
Nachteile
- It is not possible to search for images and texts within the conversation.
- Most of the time, I can't attach a file.
- There is no library of the images exchanged.
- It is difficult to locate old texts.
- There is no sending of audios.
- No voice and video conversations.
Antwort von Rocket.Chat
Dear Rocketeer,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about Rocket.Chat. We're happy to help you and your team to communicate better :)

Great Bang for Your Buck
All and all we like Rocket.Chat. It is a very inexpensive option for businesses that are 50+ people but aren't big enough to be a giant fortune 500 company will a lot of money to spend on internal chat. If you have less than 10 people on your team then go with Slack. It's more refined and you'll be spending the same amount. But once you go over 10 people Slack becomes a lot more expensive.
If you're looking for a simple solution that gives more flexibility with permissions and save a good chunk of money Rocket.Chat is your best bet. Most of the time you won't miss having something like more expensive.
Vorteile
- Extremely inexpensive for business compared to something like Slack or Teams
- A plethora of customization when it comes to permissions
Nachteile
- Missing some of the refinements that exist in things like Slack (i.e. notification settings are finicky sometimes, settings / preferences can be difficult for a lot of users to understand)
- Anyone with our URL can technically sign up whenever they want. We just keep our public rooms locked so there's no info there
- Even as the admin the amount of settings can be daunting at times.
Antwort von Rocket.Chat
Dear Shaun,
Thanks for the feedback! We sincerely appreciate your insight because it helps us build a better customer experience!
About the sing up problem, you can change the settings for user registration, you can either, have users be manually allowed on the server by the admins, or give them a secret url that can be used to register in the server. Check out our Documentation on managing account settings at https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/account-settings/#registration

Best chat tool for organisations
I can discuss with my group about the ongoing projects without visiting each and every employee working on same project. Apart from project we can also discuss the problems faced during any phase of the development.
Vorteile
We can use Rocket.Chat to communicate directly, that is one to one, or we can use it for group chats. The user interface is very user friendly. The best thing about this software is that it is an open source product. I can chat with my colleagues even if I am not in the office. It also has a web version which makes it easy when the desktop application is not working
Nachteile
We can not drag and drop files in the group chats, we have to open the file attachment window to open an file. Sometimes while chatting, in the middle of the chat the desktop application hangs a lot.

Another collaborative tool you can use for your team
Overall, I have a good experience using Rocket.Chat. As a user and not an admin though, I think it's quite disturbing not to know where's the limit of my privacy.
Vorteile
It's a collaborative tool. It has got an app that you can install into all your collaborators system. As other ones, you can use to direct chat and talk to your team - and them to each other. You can put constraints and boundaries into the tool itself.
Nachteile
As a collaborator using it and not an admin, I really don't know how it works in terms of privacy. I am sometimes wondering if admins can see all we talk about at work etc.
