Overall Satisfaction with HipChat
HipChat is a good tool for internal online chat. My organization tried it for some time but due to error prone technical features, we discontinued. This application has some good features with some good functionalities which gives the advantage of being developer friendly but the status changes and technical issues lower down its rating. As compared to some other products we have better options available elsewhere.
- The main advantage is having an Open API which is useful for developers
- There are many services on this app which are free
- It offers a good overall tool for online communication between the teams
- The technical issues are more on this application
- The status changes are quite buggy
- There are lot of complications for the admin accounts
HipChat offers a good advantage for organizations looking for a low cost communication tool. The integration is easy and widely supported by many forums. Though, the technical issues are less reliable. Due to technical failures, Slack and Skype take the cake. Slack offers many advantages over other two. But, the best part of HipChat is file sharing, in various formats. It has good features to take care of your file sharing.
