Lounge works fine on a smartphone because the actual IRC connection would be handled by a server where you host it, not your own phone.
Do you get notifications when you are mentioned on your phone though?

the fact that companies like HP builds/sells mattermost deployment/support/... yet internally still relies on lync is a joke (and pain to live with)
They use Mattermost internally, they don't sell it to customers (not sure if you were assuming I was talking about HP or a similar company that just deploys Mattermost for customers).

98% likely that they do.

It's a real shame that the industry has forsaken the protocol in favor of walled gardens.
The reason is open protocols soon become the single biggest blocker to innovation. Open protocols stagnate and ossify. So some competitor with a proprietary system will come along and eat your lunch. That's why there have only been 2 changes in email clients ever - the move from terminal to desktop GUI and desktop GUI to web 2.0 client. That's why XMPP and IRC clients will never compete with slack (queue the 'what do…

Huge problem for on-prem Hipchat customers. Plenty of customers out there not willing to put all their internal communications on the other side of their firewall, and now have to migrate. Slack doesn't have an on-prem option. Microsoft Teams doesn't have an on-prem option. What are enterprises supposed to use, RocketChat? Matrix? With no clear migration path? Really poor move on Atlassian's part. It would be one thi…
Our added value: UI and specific functions, simple user onboarding, upgrade management...

It is not about the language is it... I don't think there is so big difference between php and python. Besides Slack is most probably using whole lot more tech than php. It is about Zullip being open source.
It's also about the language. See, for example, https://www.quora.com/Why-is-PHP-hated-by-so-many-developers
Most people nowadays are using frameworks and abstraction layers which make most of these points moot.

Email can also create bottlenecks and unneeded silos of information...
Sorry to get triggered but oh my god I dislike those buzzwords. I find those two come up any time attempts are made to delineate responsibilities or make it possible for teams to run in parallel (by saying "you work on this area of speciality, I'll work on that" i.e. "silos").

Wickr Enterprise should be a pretty good option. It's basically a team oriented and somewhat less open source Signal competitor. It can be deployed on-prem.
