Rocket Chat vs. Jabber
-
@IRJ said:
We use Cisco Jabber since we have the licensing, but it really isn't that great. It's pretty basic but gets the job done. It reminds me of messengers from 10 years ago. Not alot of features, you have to add users to your friend list one at a time. It does work well, but the features are dated and limited.
We use AIM still here... we have licenses for Cisco Jabber but it is not in production.

Oh and Cisco Jabber is quite complicated like all Cisco stuff

Why isn't my network entirely Linux based? Can anyone tell me?

Smokey the Bear has the answer... Only you can prevent Windows deployments.

This is why everyone tells me I have dead eyes.

Haha classic!

So what does everyone else use? I know SAM has a Rocket setup mixed with SfB that is not being used, instead just using Skype... coliver is using AIM still. Anyone else using an on-premise solution? Preferably free & open source.

Smoke signals--however the cool thing is we use coloring so you can differentiate the clouds.

I forgot to add.. preferably something that we can use to pull from Active Directory without extreme difficulty. I can allocate some time to this project, but I'm looking for something that has a fairly small footprint and doesn't require tons of time to setup (basically, the opposite of SfB).
-
My Last place used openFire exclusively for internal stuff. I may switch my family from Skype over to RocketChat.

I think that pretty much everything talks to AD these days.

Except OpenFire, right? Have to add everyone manually... Or is there a module for that now?

why manage your own (unless you're not) and instead use telegram?

There's an AD module for it.

100% required by customer contracts. No internal communication can be hosted by a provider. Has to be something on-premise.

OpenFire can talk to AD. It is actually a really easy setup.
-
Maybe I'll look at Rocket or OF then. SfB is still being pushed hard by some, but recent events have me looking into another direction entirely.

Seems like most everyone uses that way.

The one complaint I had when playing with it was the I couldn't auto-populate a contact list.
