Overall Satisfaction with HipChat

HipChat is being used within the software development team to coordinate work and assist each other. It makes possible for the team to communicate with each other at all times since a lot of people often work in remote locations.
  • Multi-platform, can be used in any environment.
  • Simple UI, easy to use for all people.
  • Chat history that can be searched.
  • Buggy native Windows client, has reconnect and auto-update problems. Chat search opens in web browser, doesn't work in native client.
  • Telegram and WhatsApp
HipChat works best in the work environment. It can integrate with other applications that are used on the job and show notifications from them. Others are better suited for personal messaging.
Works well for small teams when a team needs to communicate online privately during work. Maybe not so good for personal messaging though.
