There's plenty of decent XMPP clients, like Spark (https://igniterealtime.org/projects/spark/ https://igniterealtime.org/projects/spark/) but they'd take an IT team to configure.
Matrix has Riot (https://riot.im/app https://riot.im/app) but personally I find it incredibly confusing.
- sanderjd 8y agoI'll have to take a look at Spark. I don't think it's a problem if something needs to be initially deployed and configured by an IT department (or otherwise tech savvy individual or group), as long as its onboarding and primary usage flows are straightforward. An arbitrary non-tech-savvy but internet-familiar employee needs to be able to create an account, browse and join rooms, and search through history without any hand-holding. Slack and its direct competitors pass this test. IRC doesn't. Does Spark?
- tapoxi 8y agoIt's certainly the closest of all XMPP clients I've used, since it has a very friendly interface. Their related Openfire XMPP server is also targeted at internal deployments and is very easy to configure with a web UI.
