Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
We use HipChat as the main communication [tool] within a team of 7 and with the entire department/organization. I would think it will be up to 500 co-workers. Other people might communicate via Skype. This provides us a central location to collect information from each other.
Pros
- Reminder of group daily standup.
- Communicate with teammates on site as well as off site
- History on past communication
Cons
- Server connection. We frequently experience login issues. There might be hours that some members cannot login but others can. We need to switch to Skype in between time. That [causes us to] lose some history and have miscommunications.
HipChat is relatively light weight. Most engineers are using it. However, we prefer to use Google Hangouts for video chatting or screen sharing.
