Rocket.Chat is good, but needs some work

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Rocket.Chat is an awesome solution for enterprise chat. As a remote employee, its my main tool to connect with my peers. It enables me in a easy way to contact and share information and files. Also, since the company hosts it, I find it secure to share sensitive data

Cons

The big problem with Rocket.Chat is usability. The mac application has a poor implementation , that resembles old chat applications like MSN Messenger. Its an outdated design that needs innovation ASAP

Vendor response

Dear Bruno, Thanks for the feedback on your experience with our platform. We sincerely appreciate your insight because it helps us build a better customer experience!

Another collaborative tool you can use for your team

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Most useful and helpful product

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Good product for communication for smaller organisation. We can create private channels and it helps us to improve overall productivity by discussing projects as well sharing new ideas. Best things that I like the most are audio and video conferencing and screen sharing.

Moving from Slack to Rocket.Chat was a no-brainer

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

With Rocket.Chat we were able to continue our team internal discussion without fear of losing messages due to account limitations. Rocket.Chat pricing made this move much easier. Great tool for start-up teams.

Cons

There's very little to not like about it. It seems to have most, if not all, of the same functionality as Slack and at a fraction of the cost.

Cheap (free) alternative to Slack

Reviewed 3 years ago

We used it for 1 week and then uninstalled it, probably will look at it again if we need our own server

Pros

It is cheap, lot of plugins. Good sites with documentation. You may install it into your own cloud/server

Cons

The interface is not user-friendly. No threads support as in Slack. Pricing for the app is not reasonable

Vendor response

Hello Dmitry, we're sorry to see you didn't have a positive experience with Rocket.Chat. Our end-users usually find our product very easy to use - could you specify which issues you had with it, specially with threads? We have different plans with different price ranges that we believe are adaptable to each company's needs. We'd love to hear a little bit more about what you didn't find reasonable - it's the only way we'll know how to improve. Feel free to reach out to us anytime and thanks for your feedback. :)

An open source scalable chat platform

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

Support & Sales are diffcult to contact. I like talking to an actually person over the phone when making larger scale changes to my organization.

Overall it's a pretty good tool. Just have to be in it to immediately get my messages.

Pros

You can easily message people in your company. I can easily search by name of who I want to talk to and send messages to them even if they are offline.

Cons

I have to have rocket chat open to get messages. If i'm out of it I don't get them. It'll send the message to my email but I don't always check that. I have not found a phone app to go with it so I can respond immediately.
