How does it compare to Symphony [1]?
They want to get the financial market companies, but a lot of them already have their own solution.

- Can_Not 8y agoCan you elaborate on why you are asking how a chatroom service compares to a webapp framework?
- vngzs 8y agoSymphony's chat tool is a Slack competitor where customers can control the keys, including via HSM. On the surface it is similar to what this news is announcing Slack added to its own tool: https://symphony.com/product/messaging-and-productivity https://symphony.com/product/messaging-and-productivity
- l9k 8y agoCan you clarify? They both offer chatrooms and depending on your definition of webapp framework they both are as well (external app integration, bots...).
- durub 8y agoCan_Not was probably thinking about Symfony [1]. [1]: https://symfony.com/ https://symfony.com/
- esnard 8y agoYou're definitely confusing with Symfony, the PHP framework. As others pointed out, Symphony is a Slack competitor.

- andylynch 8y agoI would still say Symphony’s target is Bloomberg. Despite Symphony’s good progress so far, Bloomberg are still far ahead in market share and their network is a great moat which makes it very hard to substitute, also given that onboarding new platforms across financial firms is a huge challenge even when you aren’t pushing against network effects benefiting your main competitor.
