Overall Satisfaction with HipChat

We use hipchat in our IT department to assist us with communication in developing our software. We use different rooms for each of our teams. The history is extremely helpful to go back to later for information. We also integrate with a calendar to show when team members will be out. We've also used the bots for polls and our daily stand up reports. It's helpful.
  • I like the stand up bot - it's helpful to de-clutter the body of our group chat.
  • I have no recommendations, I really like hipchat.

I'm not sure, this was done before I moved to the department I'm in now.

I don't have insights as I was not a part of the implementation. However, I love the end product.
