"Affordable and Customizable Communication Solution"
What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

I like using Rocket.Chat for its control, customization, and user experience. Having control over data is really important to me because it addresses data sovereignty, letting me know exactly where conversations, files, and user data are stored, which is great for privacy, compliance, and security. Rocket.Chat also serves as a more affordable alternative to Slack, which helps with reducing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

Self-hosting and maintenance can be a bit demanding, especially for smaller teams without dedicated DevOps teams or capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-Effective Communication with Rocket.Chat"
What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

I find Rocket.Chat very helpful for internal chats, especially when it's difficult to discuss team problems via calls. I like that we can mention each tech and specifically address each issue in the chat, which makes it easier to report certain issues to specific people. The initial setup of Rocket.Chat was very helpful for our team. Overall, everything looks good, and I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rocket chat had the voice message option but it was removed. Could it be reinstated or I will have to ask my company because it might be a case it was restricted by them?
