Overall Satisfaction with HipChat (discontinued)
HipChat was used by our whole company and especially within the Engineering community. It helps everyone to communicate across team very effectively. HipChat had plugin and integration support so we have integrated with every other internal applications within the company. It helped for effective communication. It helped engineers' productivity and everyone reachable via this online platform.
- Instant Messaging app within your team and across teams via private and public channels
- Sharing documents and integration with JIRA were very helpful. Since it's an atlassian product it supported lot of integrations with confluence, jira, bitbucket.
- Video calls and audio calls.
- At times, we've faced issues with hipchat server. Frequent downtime due to instability of the app.
- Video calls are not that great and it missed lot of functionalities provided in Zoom.
- It lacked apps within hipchat like how Slack does.

I've used Slack and it's much better app in comparison with HipChat. Slack is much faster than HipChat. Slack has strong user community and lot of documentation around how to use it. Product functionality and performance is superb with Slack compared to HipChat. Slack has more emojis and icons which brings them closer to how people use their cell phones in text conversations.
