HipChat was used by our whole company and especially within the Engineering community. It helps everyone to communicate across team very effectively. HipChat had plugin and integration support so we have integrated with every other internal applications within the company. It helped for effective communication. It helped engineers' productivity and everyone reachable via this online platform.

HipChat is used as channel to communicate within our team, and also used to collaborate with other teams and individuals. It is used by our organization, as it was cheaper compared to other solutions at the time we started using it.

HipChat was used for my section of the organization. My team had its own group chat were we communicated. It solved the problem of working from home and relaying messages to my team members in real time. It helped eliminate individuals getting lots of emails. HipChat gave us clarity and transparency on what people were working on.

The company I formerly worked at used HipChat for all inter-office employee communications. In 2013 when I started at GLG, it was the primary form of communication used by employees. Although our desks all had ip phones we almost never used them unless interfacing with clients outside of the business. Instant messaging through HipChat made a huge difference in productivity since it meant you could respond even while inside a meeting. Meetings were nearly constant at GLG and this massively improved productivity and response times.

HipChat is a product using the concept of connecting with other people, just like a messenger for office purposes. You can share files and videos but it gets messy when sending large files. Easy to use and easy to create groups and communicate. This type of software is better for fast messaging than sending emails; you will get notified when any message arrives.

We use HipChat to communicate with virtual teams, across the whole organization. It gives virtual teams a sense of belonging to the same team, and allows people to communicate in real time, addressing problems more interactively, and sometimes faster than a mail thread sent to all people from the same team could do.

We adopted HipChat for our team as a better way to communicate when our organization was still using Jabber as the official communication tool. At the time, it was a much better solution for communication because it was more reliable and had better features than Jabber. We were also able to utilize many integrations with other services.

I tried out HipChat as an alternative to Slack and was not satisfied. We intended to use it for internal communications with team members, file sharing, and project organization. I thought it would be a more efficient alternative to emails and Google Chat.

We use Hipchat across all company offices as it comes with JIRA and other Atlassian software. We have multiple groups depending on the department or product but only internally. Our employees communicate daily and use it in both formal and informal ways to manage projects/software development/office management. We also have JIRA integration in some groups.

HipChat is a good tool for internal online chat. My organization tried it for some time but due to error prone technical features, we discontinued. This application has some good features with some good functionalities which gives the advantage of being developer friendly but the status changes and technical issues lower down its rating. As compared to some other products we have better options available elsewhere.

HipChat has been selected as a product from Atlassian's suite. Because we already used Bitbucket and because we were looking for a persistent chat room, HipChat was chosen. This product was not only used by our devops teams in order to discuss and receive notifications but also by software craftsmanship in order to debate technologies and help each other.

[It's] Used by developers and product management team. A very useful tool for quick discussions and sharing of ideas, in a one to one or in a room setting. I particularly like it where it lets users share images and screenshots. Being in a relatively distantly placed group, this is the tool of choice.

We used HipChat for our internal communication platform. However, we recently switched to Slack. HipChat seemed a bit dated and frequently had issues such as outages, latency, and a number of other problems. For a platform that is basically AIM on steroids, we've come to expect that at a bare minimum uptime to be damn near perfect.

We started using HipChat in our Development and IT departments, but have had other teams migrate from Skype for Business so it's pretty much across the organization including remote users. Our Agile teams all have their own rooms. The cross-platform product is used by both our Mac and Windows users at higher rates than any previous chat client we had and it's stable and constantly online.

We use it to keep both our remote team and office teams connected. We love the ability to search, the bots, the gifs, and the ability to connect over time zones, over states, etc. We love that it is free -- allows us to collaborate. It is a good response to those who may be averse to using Slack.

HipChat is being used across the whole organization. I'm a software developer and I use to chat and collaborate with other developers across the whole organization. We have three groups of people talking about specific topics and sharing code snippets.

We use HipChat across the whole organization to communicate with a distributed team, with members located in many corners of world - Russia, Brazil, US, Japan, India... Sometimes when problems with other messengers occurs, we also use HipChat to make video calls. Here we are missing group videocalls. So we use Skype for it, and this is the only reason to use Skype. The rest of HipChat works very well. Earlier versions of HipChat had troubles with Windows 7 x64, but nowadays it is very stable and works perfectly.

We are currently using hipchat throughout all of our organization, we have it synchronized with bitbucket, jira and confluence. All in all it is a very complete environment to work with. It mainly lets us keep track of everything that is going and allows us to quickly reference issues (or other things).

My team is composed of members who live in different states. We use hipchat to communicate amongst our team. It makes it easy to keep questions to multiple individuals amongst the team. It is linked to our Jira and Stash and lets us keep track of pull requests and how various tasks are progressing. This way, it makes it easy to discuss any proposed changes to our code base etc.
