Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
HipChat is being used for the engineering department at my company. We have chat rooms for each team which are used for cross-team collaboration. It helps members of the same team coordinate, as well as easily find members of other teams.
- One strength of hipchat I believe is its integrations/add-ons. We utilize connections between HipChat and Github, Jenkins, and Jira. It helps developers get information quickly. It also helps with notifying teams when changes are made to projects.
- Another strength of hipchat is its tagging abilities. It's always useful to be able to tag an individual to get their attention or even to invite them to a room.
- The status (online, offline, mobile) of hipchat members often seems inaccurate. We see many problems in this area around hipchat updates and it can be very frustrating and slow down work.
- I want to be able to temporarily group chat without creating an official "Room".
