What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

Overall, Rocket.Chat fulfills my requirements for communication solutions. It offers public channels, private channels, direct messaging, integration capabilities through Webhooks, SMS functionality, and a chat widget for websites. The setup process is straightforward, whether using Docker or Ubuntu Snap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

Due to Rocket.Chat not being included as a standard app option for one-click installation on most web hosts, setting it up manually becomes necessary. This is in contrast to Slack and Microsoft Teams, which are more readily available as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. However, the process of getting Rocket.Chat operational typically demands a higher level of expertise and understanding. Additional steps and configuration are typically involved before achieving a fully functional setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rocket.Chat serves as our human support tool. Our initial customer or lead inquiries are handled by a chatbot. However, when customers or leads require human assistance, we redirect them to Rocket.Chat, where our sales team is readily available. One notable advantage of utilizing Rocket.Chat is its cost-effectiveness per user, as opting for an alternative tool would likely result in significantly higher expenses.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

Rocket.Chat is too good at connecting with visitors. The easy integrations with the platforms like Slack, teams and other saas help a lot for easy communications. Old chat history on the application helps a lot when required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

I never felt any dislike for the Rocket.Chat, but I feel it would be a great application if the UI is more simple and quick. I felt difficulty when tried to integrate with DevOps. somehow, I've made it with their support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used other platforms before but this Rocket.Chat is good at the pricing when compared with the Market price. The support team is available and the solutions are real quick than I expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

The platform is very comprehensive. In addition to integrating with WhatsApp (the app our clients use most to get in touch), we can do various useful things for our daily activities, such as tagging conversations, analyzing data, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

When we finish a conversation with the client, there is an option to add a comment. This comment is sent to the client as if it were the last message we are sending. Since this is not intuitive, our attendants end up adding a comment that would be just for themselves and not for the client.

Another point is that to receive messages, there is a balloon icon that must be in available mode, I think the platform should display a message on the screen reminding the user to activate this balloon. It would also be nice to have a message reminding to end the conversation when it has been open for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

My team developed a virtual assistant, Rocket.chat integrates the assistant with WhatsApp. With this, we greatly improved communication with the client. Another point is the generation of data that our employees need to create a monthly report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

I really like Rocket.Chat because of its flexibility and integration. Integrations with other tools, in my case with Weni Platform, are very useful because they help to centralize our support and provide more capability for large teams. And finally, the fact that it is an open-source platform means that the developer community can contribute to its development and improvements, which is great because the platform is constantly evolving. I heavily rely on its API documentation, and I find it to be very good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

To fully leverage the platform, subscribing to the best plan is recommended, as it grants access to strategic endpoints and routes. Without a subscription, users may find their experience limited and unable to achieve desired outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rocket.Chat is a human support tool for us. We have a chatbot that handles initial customer or lead inquiries and, when they require human assistance, we direct them to Rocket.Chat, where our sales team is available. One advantage of Rocket.Chat is the cost-benefit per user, as using another tool would be much more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

We've been using Rocket.Chat for more than five years - I've lost count - and the flexibility for integrations with other open source tools, RSS, notifications coming from other internal and external systems through webhooks, or even using the apps in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

The difference between teams, channels and discussions is very narrow.

Sometimes less technical users struggle to understand how to use topics.

I'd love to see an option for a channel or team space to be topics-driven. Every new message must be a topic of discussion, like in a forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team works hybrid. So, 80% of the team works from home or offices far from the HQ.

Having a tool like Rocket.Chat to centralize business communication is a success key factor to the whole company. There, we discuss the main points of operations when not in video or voice meetings.

I could honestly affir: It's in the Rocket.Chat that our company does most of the central and most important discussions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

I work as a developer, and what attracts me the most is the freedom to use APIs for creating customized integrations. Currently, through APIs, we perform customized integration of WhatsApp, a bot for WhatsApp with routing to Rocket.Chat departments, among other integrations that are in progress. Another very important point is the support service, which always returns to us with suggestions whenever there are doubts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

The price is inaccessible for small clients.

Closed conversations cannot be deleted all at once (because many conversations are created for learning and then have to be deleted one by one).

Due to the wide range of configuration possibilities, the learning curve ends up being large, as until you learn where to change the settings and how to operate it, many errors occur and the process has to be redone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrate my various contact methods (website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger), so I don't lose leads regardless of which channel the customer reaches us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

It's really simple to use and delivers a lot, it's really straight foward to setup and provides a lot of insights for administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

At the start we had some issues with estability and sometimes people get a lot of memory usage, but things got a lot better and also dark mode. Today, I really feel it's lacking a right click feature to show the options, instead going all the way to the right side and click on the three dots. I really like to compare rocket to Discord, since they share a lot of similarities, and this right click feature is something we really want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Today we have so much better time on set up accounts and as soon as a new employee joins, with a few steps he's ready to go. Also as we have older employees, they got used fast to the rocket chat. It's a really good chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rocket chat is solving our one to one conversation within the organisation with our collegues related to work or any personal thing. Where we can share documents over pdf, word etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

I believe that it could have the functionality to delete specific groups after finishing the due subject. And that it doesn't delete the messages after a while. I still see stability issues, sometimes chats not refreshing, and random minor issues. It's quite hard to debug/diagnose the issue, and on GitHub, some issues have been waiting for weeks or months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rocket Chat has been a facilitator and optimizer in my day to day work, quickly and effectively enabling the home office to work collaboratively, allowing communication between teams and optimizing processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
