IT Pro Chat!
-
The way it is laid out and set up kinda reminds me of something like Google Wave -- as @scottalanmiller said -- definitely good for teams and collaboration.
I like the "Channel" approach too... makes it feel kinda like old fashioned IRC chats, only better.

Oh yes, when paid for, Slack is a great tool because you have the history and channels can be dedicated to projects, etc.
But for a generic "IT Pro Chat," I see no point.

What about it? If Slack with sign a SBA, and you can audit them, then you're fine - if not, you can't use Slackfor HIPAA based items.

It is Rocket Chat, an open source chat platform. So you can host it yourself or use someone else providing the service. As for what it is missing? No idea. I have never used it. I think it is a good comparable solution if an organization does not want to pay for Slack.

I like it alot. I wonder if you can brand it as your own?

One downside to it is you lose the integration you have between Slack and other tools like Asana.

It doesn't appear to have AD or Wordpress integration at the moment. AD would be huge for the corporate world and I would like to see Wordpress integration to integrate with existing websites.

Is this like one administrator account and the AD users don't count?

It's open source. So you CAN brand it. Whether or not they built in hooks for that is another question.
