- imwithstoopid 4y agoits free-as-in-beer which is all 99% of orgs want it also provides 99% of the functionality most orgs actually care about
- flappyeagle 4y agoYou’ve clearly never run an org. Cost is one of many factors that matters. MS teams is also free as in beer when I’m already buying office.
- imwithstoopid 4y agoI've run mattermost for a moderate sized team while doing my dev duties, it was never a bother...what specific problems did you have? I maybe spent fifteen minutes a month on upgrades
- flappyeagle 4y agoI do not want to have a piece of undifferentiated infrastructure at my org to be tied to the employment, enthusiasm and attention of a particular engineer.
- kennydude 4y agoWhat does it need to become a product better than Slack?
- flappyeagle 4y agoIt needs to have better features and better support.
- kennydude 4y agoWhat features are you looking for? I'm sure I've seen the Mattermost/Gitlab team browse here in the past and having something actionable would help them get there
- flappyeagle 4y agoI don’t know. As someone making IT decisions, I can really only look at the options on the market and compare them. Mattermost isn’t clearly better than Slack along dimensions that matter to most teams. Its product management strategy seems to be “we have the same features as slack but you can self host”.
