Of course, you need a machine (virtual or otherwise) in the office for that, which will always be online. And you can't just add outside contractors to your chat server if they're not in-office, or connect up yourself if you're on the road.
You also don't get searchable history (archives) by default, which is a big win in a lot of situations.
I'm an experienced sysadmin and developer, so managing an IRC daemon doesn't scare me, yet I'd pay $10 per month for all of that in a heartbeat.
- saurik 15y agoOk, if you are a company that doesn't have any machines in the office that are always online, I'll buy it. I was about to wonder "where did you find such a workplace...", but I failed to take into consideration non-technical companies. (That said, again: it isn't $10/month, it is $2/user, and the /user price increases with more users. Even for my relatively tiny company, it would be more than $10/month.)
