Long time hipchat user here (both DC and Cloud), the rollout of Stride rubbed me all kinds of wrong ways. They 'replaced' HipChat w/ Strie but didn't keep many of the same features/integrations and then FORCED you to switch by a deadline. I get upgrades and progress, but how about rolling upgrade, swap out the client, move everyone over automatically and not pain your users? For my team, we said screw it and 'migrated' to Slack. Give us a chance to switch, we switched.
- wwalser 9y agoInaccurate. Data center has not been sunset. https://www.stride.com/help-center/frequently-asked-questions/stride-and-hipchat-data-center#faq-64bbd492-e920-4693-9abf-1688729a2bab https://www.stride.com/help-center/frequently-asked-question... I also don't think anyone was forced to switch but I could be wrong. An email requesting or encouraging some action is different from being forced to do something.
- hkchad 9y agoI was just saying I have used DC in addition to Cloud. We migrated to cloud from DC about a year ago, and was forced to switch last week.
- tahoemph999 9y agoDitto. Too little, too late.
- bradgessler 9y agoSame. Stride is just a worse implementation of Slack with less features. They even got rid of the “good parts” of HipChat, mainly that the macOS client doesn’t idle at 5% CPU, and replaced it with a full blow Electron client that had the same problems as Slack. Honestly I’m a bit dumbfound how they are handling the transition. I bet they end up losing a lot of customers to Slack.
