Considered Both Products
Jetbrains Space
Chose Jetbrains Space
Jetbrains Space offers a lot of features that, in my opinion, Bitbucket and GitHub lack, especially in terms of project management. Also, while it only really integrates with JetBrains tools, I think it integrates better with them than GitHub or BitBucket do with any tools.
Chose Jetbrains Space
With the other software I've tried, they solve many issues, Jetbrains Space solves them all by being a complete all-round solution for every level, from management, to support, to the developers. The other tools have some of these things, but I never felt comfortable using the …
Mattermost
Chose Mattermost
They're very similar. I think it's really a matter of preference. Again, one of the things I like about Mattermost is that it's strictly for business (atleast for us) it's different from the more mainstream messaging apps used so we can kind of separate work vs personal messages.
Chose Mattermost
Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord
Chose Mattermost
It's cheaper and similar to Slack.
You can break down your project modules better here.
It's secure and self-hosted.
Chose Mattermost
Much more expensive than most chat applications but you have more control over things by self-hosting. Your security team will be able to design a very secure place to store all your code, passwords, and internal details, but most companies will not require this. It would be …
Chose Mattermost
In comparison to Slack, where Slack is strictly for internal communication, Mattermost actually has the format to display and not alter source code. Google chat is also even more limited in comparison to Slack and Mattermost. If you collaborate on code every single day, then …
Chose Mattermost
It is just as good if not better. Can be a superior option depending on the needs of your organization.
Chose Mattermost
These products all required cloud connectivity and licensing that was a significant cost. Mattermost allowed us to pilot this among just the Ops team and then evangelize this to the other infrastructure team. This allowed us to slowly show the value of this software and expand …
Chose Mattermost
Unlike Slack and Discord, Mattermost is self-hosted and focused on security. I used Discord before for community management and much simpler and less secure operations. Slack is great, but the fact that is cloud based takes out a lot of its independence.
Chose Mattermost
We used to have Mattermost and now we have Microsoft Teams. They are both very similar. Mattermost and Microsoft Teams are both great for communicating internally via calls, chats, meetings, etc. They are also both easy to set up an use. However, the Microsoft Teams mobile app …
Chose Mattermost
to reduce cost we shifted to Mattermost.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost works better in that there aren’t constant updates and changes which can make finding past messages difficult. Mattermost also works better for channel creation and communication
Chose Mattermost
Slack is by far my personal favorite due to the age of the platform and the maturity of the features. Mattermost is a close 2nd-
Chose Mattermost
Honestly iv just used these two but when it comes to customization, they don't come close to Mattermost. Slack and Teams are Less flexible, Not self hosted. Not Open source,etc I will also say that i noticed integration capabilities are very limited with teams and slack and not …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is much faster and easier to use. It also has many more features beyond chat. They are more customizations and features for workflow and messaging on this platform also. The ability to integrate with other platforms via plugins, the security features, and the open …
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is easier to use, faster, and less resource-intensive. Cross-platform support is great, and the mobile experience is awesome.
Chose Mattermost
I feel slack is a bit more difficult to use overall than Mattermost. Mattermost makes the tasks of communicating across departments and team members easier, as well as giving the ability to share information via hyper links, attachments, and other forms of communication among …
Chose Mattermost
We selected mattermost since we can control storage of our data. Slack is a great tool and offers more robust features compared to mattermost. However, the previously mentioned reason & the competitive pricing allowed us to stick with mattermost.
Chose Mattermost
key selling points for us was that its open source and can be self hosted.
Chose Mattermost
Mattermost is cheaper and offers the possibility of self-hosting compared to other competitors. This is a great advantage for our company.
Chose Mattermost
Microsoft Teams feels quite clunky and the video chat is buggy. Slack is close but maybe not quite as feature-rich. Mattermost just feels like the right tool for a company my size ~1000+ users. No one has had any major issues with this tool and there haven't been any …
Chose Mattermost
First of all, we don't lose messages; we can see or search messages from any point in the past. Second, it offers to manage the whole product ourselves from hosting to serving users of our organisation. We feel that we have full control over data, managing users, …

Jetbrains Space is extremely well suited to web projects, as well as application development. The management tools and CI are great for web. I think it is less good for game development. Needs more access to viewing assets, and improved git-lfs support to really work for games.

Mattermost is definitely appropriate for a growing company with team members spread out across the u.s. and Canada. It’s given me the ability to have access to anyone with the information I need or the ability to develop friendships, working relationships with people I otherwise wouldn’t have access to

  • Easy intergration to our main CRM (Monday.com)
  • I'm not techy myself but I have seen a lot of our previous integrations in Slack transferred over to Mattermost so that's fun
  • The desktop and phone app (android) works well enough. I haven't tried it on the Apple ecosystem yet.

Cons
  • The move to Jetbrains SpaceCode could have been smoother
  • There are missing API endpoints in Jetbrains SpaceCode
  • The Jetbrains SpaceCode API documentation is not working as expected

  • Basic features like custom status, collapsed reply threads are JUST rolling out - kind of slow for a workplace chat app.
  • I don't really get the idea of Playbooks and Boards - there are better, dedicated tools for stuff like this and it's not so easy to turn off.

Mattermost works perfectly within our company as a way to communicate seamlessly. I have had no issues with the product and continue to use it often while on and off site. The mobile app allows me to continue to communicate with my team even when I don't have my laptop with me.

Usability
It has some rough edges, but overall the UI is extremely good.

It's an extremely easy to use software, and I would recommend it to every company that is growing. I think they could improve their notification system, as it gets a little spammy sometimes and important notifications get lost. Also needs to improve the number of private chats that you are allowed to create.

We have not had to contact support for Mattermost ever. All that we have needed has been available in the documentation or website. One of our DevOps team members set it up in a couple of hours. The whole team was using Mattermost that same day. No support needed.

With the other software I've tried, they solve many issues, Jetbrains Space solves them all by being a complete all-round solution for every level, from management, to support, to the developers. The other tools have some of these things, but I never felt comfortable using the whole system as a complete source of project tools, often ending up using tools from multiple vendors.

Return on Investment
  • I feel secure with Jetbrains Space, as a project management tool.
  • I feel secure using Jetbrains Space internally to manage my code
  • Being able to access Jetbrains Space from all my projects, regardless of language is a huge plus. Even my documentation is covered.

  • The platform is adaptive to storage data center outages in case our cloud storage provider goes away, Mattermost still works with our local database. However, files couldn't be shared. We can switch storage to local temporarily; that's a benefit. Later it all syncs up to main storage.
  • When our team switched to Mattermost from paid solutions, we had much savings and access to unlimited past messages and storage quota (we use our cloud storage provider)
  • We have better visibility of our tools and other products running adjacent to Mattermost due to integration capability. We use it for notifications/ updates sent from other products.
