"So far I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with RocketChat, as a IT intern."
What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

Ease of use definitely, it is very seamless and easy to message the rest of the people in my organization, kinda like a better version of WhatsApp but from a business standpoint, one of the stronger points is also how easy it is to implement, with usages like Docker for deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

I think one of the only downsides I have with RocketChat is how sometimes I feel kinda "thrown out in the open" with the features, for a less experienced user of technology it might be hard to grasp some of them, and the UI could do with a more intuitive and streamlined design.

"Best chatting module."
What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

This is an chatting module which is configured on any application by which user can have a chat and communicate without seeing each other. Not only chatting but rocket chat also has the feature to pass photos and videos just like any chatting applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

It takes much time to load. In an application, if we tap on chat, its takes much time in loading. Sometimes due to loading, chat is not opened and error out. Maybe this is due to low network. This need to be improved. At least chat should be opened in low network and not error out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good and Bad of RocketChat"
What do you like best about Rocket.Chat?

There are a couple of things that I liked about rocket chat while we were using it: the security, the fact that you can limit the features each user can access due to the flexibility of the software. I like the sounds options and the layout of the screen (I only use the web version) I liked the capability to connect to salesforce and include articles. I used it every day to communicate with my team. The It department mentioned it was easy for them to implement Rocket Chat with Okta (internal software) and SalesForce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat?

I felt that the emoji option was too rudimentary. I didn't like the fact that a new thread (someone responding to your message) would show in a new side window rather than on the same mesage screen (this is a personal like, I'm sure some people like that option) 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?
