    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.

    It's cheaper and similar to Slack.
    You can break down your project modules better here.
    It's secure and self-hosted.

    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 …

    It is just as good if not better. Can be a superior option depending on the needs of your organization.

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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

    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 …

    We cannot connect to the internet so Skype/teams is not a possible solution.

    Mattermost is easier to use, faster, and less resource-intensive. Cross-platform support is great, and the mobile experience is awesome.

    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 …

    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.

    key selling points for us was that its open source and can be self hosted.

    Mattermost is cheaper and offers the possibility of self-hosting compared to other competitors. This is a great advantage for our company.

    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 …

    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, …
