Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is easier to use, faster, and less resource-intensive. Cross-platform support is great, and the mobile experience is awesome.
Chose Mattermost
Before Mattermost, we used Stride first, and then Slack as our communication platform. Stride got discontinued so it is not comparable, but Slack got very costly for us, with basically the same features as Mattermost - a matter of fact, the "reply" feature is surprisingly …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is very similar to Slack and has the advantage (in our case) of being entirely on-premises, and entirely free. The feature set is similar, and it has filled the original need that Slack was suggested as a solution for very well. Teams is potentially a better choice …
Chose Mattermost
Microsoft Teams feels quite clunky and the video chat is buggy. Slack is close but maybe not quite as feature-rich. Mattermost just feels like the right tool for a company my size ~1000+ users. No one has had any major issues with this tool and there haven't been any …
Chose Mattermost
Kind of a different space - more power than what you get with Google messaging.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost provides a familiar user interface, fast performance, and a complete set of user collaboration tools and features - it stands out by providing a self-managed installation option for better integration with existing IT assets and more control over data storage. We …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is cheaper and offers the possibility of self-hosting compared to other competitors. This is a great advantage for our company.
Chose Mattermost
I feel slack is a bit more difficult to use overall than Mattermost. Mattermost makes the tasks of communicating across departments and team members easier, as well as giving the ability to share information via hyper links, attachments, and other forms of communication among …
Chose Mattermost
We selected mattermost since we can control storage of our data. Slack is a great tool and offers more robust features compared to mattermost. However, the previously mentioned reason & the competitive pricing allowed us to stick with mattermost.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost offers secure collaboration for my team. I like how flexible the deployment is with either on-premises or secure cloud where our data and information is stored securely and for the control and visibility we need. Real-time and async messaging with integrated voice …
Chose Mattermost
key selling points for us was that its open source and can be self hosted.
Chose Mattermost
First of all, we don't lose messages; we can see or search messages from any point in the past. Second, it offers to manage the whole product ourselves from hosting to serving users of our organisation. We feel that we have full control over data, managing users, …
Chose Mattermost
Before Mattermost my organization was using Slack. Although it is a very good tool, but when your users increase in number then sudden application crashing issues arise, thus interrupting your work. Also, Mattermost has many more features as compared to Slack which makes it a …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost can be free and can be hosted on-prem - those two are the core foundations why we're using Mattermost.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost was in a class of its own when compared to a host of Microsoft solutions and ownCloud. MS products are always encumbered with ongoing licensing and maintenance costs, plus the cost of people to maintain the servers those run on. Mattermost runs on a cloud VM and is …
Chose Mattermost
As compare to Slack with this tool, Mattermost has introduced more convenience and features for collaboration. All updates come with new and advanced features and functions which always fascinate me and become the reason for using this efficient tool.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is as good of a software as HipChat. They both allow for easy communication within our company across private, group, or mass messaging. The notifications of both work well without flaw. The only difference that I have noticed between the two would be that HipChat
Chose Mattermost
Skype is a light version when compared to Mattermost. Skype is easy to login (using username and password). Whereas, Mattermost login or setup or configuration is way different from Skype. We wanted to integrate with Jumpcloud for various reasons, so we have selected Mattermost …
Chose Mattermost
Slack is excellent and has many of the same features as Mattermost. However, the cost if you have a larger group can be prohibitive. Mattermost is a better ROI per user, in our opinion. It also allows us to host it ourselves, which is more desirable for management by our MIS …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is very comparable to Slack. While Slack is more well-known and has a larger budget for advertising, Mattermost can hold its own. Slack probably has some additional integrations, but for what we were looking for (a quality communication tool) Mattermost was a great …
Chose Mattermost
Slack got very expensive and limited for the use we expected and also for the economic resources of the company. Mattermost allows custom modifications, and its interface is very similar to Slack, so we didn't need much time to adapt to it. We've been using Mattermost for 3 …

Mattermost
Mattermost is definitely appropriate for a growing company with team members spread out across the u.s. and Canada. It’s given me the ability to have access to anyone with the information I need or the ability to develop friendships, working relationships with people I otherwise wouldn’t have access to

Usability
Mattermost
It's an extremely easy to use software, and I would recommend it to every company that is growing. I think they could improve their notification system, as it gets a little spammy sometimes and important notifications get lost. Also needs to improve the number of private chats that you are allowed to create.

Support Rating
Mattermost
We have not had to contact support for Mattermost ever. All that we have needed has been available in the documentation or website. One of our DevOps team members set it up in a couple of hours. The whole team was using Mattermost that same day. No support needed.

Before Mattermost, we used Stride first, and then Slack as our communication platform. Stride got discontinued so it is not comparable, but Slack got very costly for us, with basically the same features as Mattermost - a matter of fact, the "reply" feature is surprisingly non-existent on Slack (you can reply by opening a different thread, but that is hard to follow in most cases), and not only exists in Mattermost but very straightforward. We have considered using Discord too, but then chose Mattermost for its open-source nature, and the possibility of running our very own self-hosted servers, with total control.
