Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
We use it within our department to improve communication, escalate issues, and track employees' current status. It addressed a need to have a unified platform instead of relying on various internet chat utilities. Also it has cut down on the amount of texting/calling that is needed and the associated mess of keeping current phone numbers in everyone's contact lists.
- All your work conversations happen in one place, giving you the ability to engage multiple people at once and also keep a record of important communications.
- We used Yammer before, but found that people were not as engaged. The HipChat interface by comparison is less cluttered and tightly focused on enabling communications.
- When I'm away, I don't like to receive individual emails for each message that I missed. I would like to see that consolidated somehow.
- If you have a large number of rooms or a long list of open conversations with other people, it's too easy to miss incoming messages that extend below the current screen height.
Hipchat is focused on enabling communications. Yammer was a bit too distracting, almost like Facebook.
