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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Muhammad Rohan Director in Information Technology at Devtics Technologies (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Mattermost It's cheaper and similar to Slack.

Justin Leopold Automation Architect in Information Technology at City of Denver (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose Mattermost These products all required cloud connectivity and licensing that was a significant cost.

This allowed us to slowly show the value of this software and expand … Incentivized Helpful?

Sanjay Singh Business Development Manager in Corporate at TrionTech (Information Technology Services, 1-10 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? David Noah Controls Engineer in Engineering at LONG Building Technologies (Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, 501-1000 employees) Chose Mattermost Mattermost is much faster and easier to use.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mattermost Mattermost was in a class of its own when compared to a host of Microsoft solutions and ownCloud.

Jonathan Warren Technical Director in Information Technology at Art+Pi (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Mattermost Mattermost provides a familiar user interface, fast performance, and a complete set of user collaboration tools and features - it stands out by providing a self-managed installation option for better integration with existing IT assets and more control over data storage. We … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mattermost Mattermost is very similar to Slack and has the advantage (in our case) of being entirely on-premises, and entirely free. The feature set is similar, and it has filled the original need that Slack was suggested as a solution for very well. Teams is potentially a better choice … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mattermost Cost competitive and you own the data. Incentivized Helpful?	Microsoft Rohitash Sinha Product Support Manager in Customer Service at RapidOps, Inc.
