Overall Satisfaction with HipChat

If HipChat would stay functioning consistently, either via the web portal or the desktop app, we wouldn't be considering other options to leave Hip Chat. Unfortunately, it's just not reliable.
  • App integration
  • Intuitive UX
  • Cheap
  • Uptime - It goes down on a regular basis, sometimes multiple times a day.
  • Emoticons and GIf integration are too small.
Slack is far more reliable, although the desktop app has issues sometimes. But Slack is much more expensive.
If you want to pay for a tool that is unreliable, Hip Chat is the answer. The UX is pretty good and they're inexpensive, which is great! But if I can't trust the tool to work when I need it to, I can't justify paying for it.
