Currently at the company level we have a requirement on the use of openfire for effective communication, similar to a Microsoft product, that is, we need the processes of video calls, phone calls and other options that openfire on-premise does not support, we have seen the option of openfire web but this 2021 with the problem that FlashPlayer stopped working, we are concerned about implementing it and not having adequate support.

We used the OpenFire Server for our internal IM platform. It integrated nicely with our Active Directory and running on the Linux platform "just worked". We had very little maintenance except for routine updates we need to do on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The plugin system was sometimes buggy, but got better with time. Our engineers also preferred other clients to the Openfire chat client, but thats the power of Opensource and choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that openfire works very well for help desk communications. It has many different plugins and features that can be managed on the back end to give front end users more control over how they can help other people on their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the rate of which plugins are updated. Some plugins go almost a year or more without any updates so they fall behind and require older versions of their clients to use the plugins effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Many of the positive points in my tool utilization were the easy and simple integration with various tools, and chief among them is the speed at which messages are reflected in the communication. By also dealing with a tool and open source allows us developers create more loyalty and trust with the Openfire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
