Chose HipChat (discontinued)
I've used Slack and it's much better app in comparison with HipChat. Slack is much faster than HipChat. Slack has strong user community and lot of documentation around how to use it. Product functionality and performance is superb with Slack compared to HipChat. Slack has more …
Compared to Skype creating groups is easy and fast. Also , file sharing is easy and loads instantly . Emoji and gifs are much more better in HipChat compared to Skype .My company's management chose to use HipChat for our organization as they got the license of HipChat for …
We selected HipChat because it was an enterprise solution to our organization. It allowed us to connect our enterprise ticketing software (which was used for everything) to communicate updates/patches and solutions to our clients. HipChat was a great tool because we were able …
HipChat really cannot compete with Slack so it doesn't surprise me that they've purchased the code base from Atlassian. As I mentioned earlier in the review it's screen sharing, video/audio quality and file transfers abilities are almost universally done better by the …
Slack is better developed then HipChat. It's better and faster for connecting with people. HipChat is also good but needs to be developed. The company has to update their software regularly to reach the level where Slack is now.
While Sametime or Jabber multi people chat requires that someone who's in the chat invite you, HipChat has this nice system of a room where anyone with the right permission can join at any time. Also, the history of a Sametime or Jabber chat tends to be lost in the …
At the time, our organization was using Jabber for communication, which wasn't suited well for teams. HipChat brought a ton of great features when moving from Jabber, such as the ability to make rooms for each of our projects.
Rocket Chat is an open-source Slack clone, which …
Slack is by far a better alternative, and HipChat was only developed as an alternative to Slack. It certainly falls short. The platform is not user-friendly, it is generally a bit buggy, and it doesn’t organize conversation threads in an efficient way like Slack does.
Aside from HipChat we used Slack and Cisco Spark. Cisco Spark doesn't look as outdated as Hipchat but still is very limited with integrations and requires a paid version to take full advantage of it. Mobile version of Cisco Spark is limited and doesn't have many settings. Slack …
HipChat offers a good advantage for organizations looking for a low cost communication tool. The integration is easy and widely supported by many forums. Though, the technical issues are less reliable. Due to technical failures, Slack and Skype take the cake. Slack offers many …
I used HipChat in a company which was pro "open source" and another one which is pro Atlassian. For the "open source" company I was not involved in the decision of selecting HipChat but I know that the integration with Jenkins and other internal tools were drivers for selecting …
We left HipChat because of ongoing support issues and it didn't seem to be exactly, cutting edge. We now use Slack which seems to be much more in line with our organization as a whole. The features we use on slack were not offered at the time on HipChat and I think they had …
We tried a lot of chat clients before choosing HipChat. The Skype for Business UI on the Mac side was 5 years old and terrible. Mac users hated the app including our CTO. Cisco Jabber was expensive to license and maintain; Skype was open to the public which took time away due …
Hmm, actually we use both, but HipChat is currently much more stable and has functionality reach on every platform. For example, Skype for Linux misses very many features in comparison with "flagship" Windows version of it. The only reason to use Skype, I repeat, it is still …
We used hipchat because it is part of the Atlassian family of products, so integration was probably the easiest than if we went with something else. It's easy to for non-technical people to pick up and start using without much difficulty and allows flexibility in customization, …
Hipchat works about as well as the other products (Skype and Google Chat). The other products have the advantage of video chat embedded into the system. I couldn't see HipChat as a stand alone product, we mainly use it because it matches with other software like JIRA, though …
At the time we looked at Slack there wasn't an on-premise option. Hipchat also had a better client at the time. We had issues with notifications on Slack.
It was chosen by company but I understand hipchat was preferred over Skype since it was connected to Jira. I prefer hangouts over it when I need audio/video chat
