This is a cool idea. We're not super happy with slack at work but I admit we haven't given matrix a proper go yet. Wish we could stop for like a year just to evaluate the stack and the toolset. I kid. Sort of.
I actually like Mattermost as a free slack alternative. Matrix is too complicated for normies and the encryption seems unnecessary on a local server.
You could also consider Zulip they have been around for a while as the succesor of IRC but never arose in popularity. I like their concept of #
tags
for filtering messages inside a channel through #topics
:)I've used that one as well and I'm not a fan. Its fine but it is super confusing to use.
Why are you not happy with slack? Like privacy wise or features?
Not OP, but I'll chime in my reason: History. Messages older than.. 30-day are only accessible for a fee. Even when you star/ pin those messages. It's so hateful.
I see, yeah we pay for enterprise commercial licenses. Search is very good. Like in teams you can’t find shit. But slack can easily find anything
Yeah in an enterprise setting Slack is excellent at being a communication platform, but teams with powerautomate is pretty damn powerful
I have a hard time seeing how it competes with slacks millions of integrations. The only upside with teams is that it’s basically free with the rest of the office suite
Having used the slack work flow builder compared to Powerautomate, it's really no contest you can do so much more with PA if you're in the ms ecosystem
