Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
When most of your development team is remote, you need some way to stay in touch. Hipchat lets you do that. In addition, it integrates with other Atlassian software like Jira, Confluence, Bamboo and Bitbucket so you're always up to date with everything.
- If bugs are changed in Jira, you can easily be notified in a common hipchat room.
- If a build fails in Bamboo, you can be notified quickly in Hipchat so the build isn't broken for long.
- You can quickly be notified in Hipchat when pull requests are opened in Bitbucket so the person waiting for the pull request doesn't have to wait long.
- Hipchat's audio/video conferencing functionality could use some work.
- Sometimes mobile notifications get lost.
- Sometimes it can be hard to see conversations among automatic messages.
Hipchat integrates into everything we use by default without having to set things up manually.
