Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
HipChat is being used by the technology department. It addresses the problem of ensuring collaboration between our multiple national and international sites, as well as keep distributed teams connected.
One other area that HipChat helps our department is also the ability to quickly create new rooms for forming guilds of specific interests - high performance, yoga, transformation, CSS.

- HipChat allows team culture to show up in a digital form, the ability to create the perfect giphy makes it quickly apparent what the mood of a certain team is, or the mood of a certain day.
- Allows for quick virtual meetings with key players. If I have a question for a group of multiple stakeholders, I can create a chat room, ask them the question and wait for the response, won't need to hunt down meeting rooms or times.
- Record the appropriate amount of history, so that I can scroll back and find what was said in an earlier meeting.
- Integration with Trello and other applications teams use.
- Ability to bookmark important posts. If I'm in a group setting and someone says something I want to refer back to, having a bookmark or an ability to clip/star a message would make it easier for me to find what I'm doing.
- No Screen sharing.
- Slack and Lync
HipChat was selected because of its stability and price.
