RingCentral vs Rocket.Chat

Pretty good experience overall, though they recently started charging per message for inbound texts. (Something other vendors do not do.) The last two app versions will not allow me to switch to a Bluetooth device if it was not connected before the call started. Unable to remove buttons for unused services like Tasks, Text. (That's fine for a single user but rolling out a product org wide and not having a way to prevent users from using certain functions is just a bit no no.)

Just old , glitchy and bad overall. Their contracts keep their retention and reinstate themselves automatically and you can't downsize your number until your contract is up and hasn't automatically renewed itself. It also doesn't always catch all your call recordings. I was told that that is just the way it is. The call tracking is not good for me either.

I am having issues with the phone picking up and not being able to connect to clients via my phone app. Phone rings and does not show who is calling nor am I able to view who is calling me. And calls that get a random tone and "mutes" so the client is talking and then when I reconnect I have to ask them to repeat themselves. Very embarrassing and unnecessary. The meetings portion works well . Please fix the call issue. This happens to everyone in my office who uses this app.

"RocketChat - Great for Big Companies" What do you like best about Rocket.Chat? The application itself is open-source, so it has a multitude of capabilities. It's also decently secure, and you can share sensitive data over it as long as the system admins and coders that set it up for you know what they are doing. It has a massive amount of addons and what-not. It's overall an excellent tool to use for teamwork. It's the best free alternative to slack and others like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rocket.Chat? I wouldn't say I like that it does not have a built-in dark theme customizatioin; not only that, even the more trivial customizations you might want to have required at least basic knowledge of coding or something akin to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rocket.Chat: It's a pretty decent application to use for businesses. It has many different functions and the ability to accommodate almost any needs of your particular niche in industry. But I have to say it's not the neatest and easiest to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rocket.Chat solving and how is that benefiting you? We use it on a daily basis to work with the most sensitive data there is, like medical records, personnel files, private information of individuals. It allows us to create different teams who can communicate separately about their own specific niche in a private separate room/channel.
