How does it compare to Symphony [1]? They want to get the financial market companies, but a lot of them already have their own solution. [1] https://symphony.com/

The article says it’s only open to enterprise customers. Computing freedom you have to pay a ton for is not really freedom. It’s really not even close to the control of IRC.
2 Options as I see it: Either don't use Slack or try to gather consensus and change things

Is it not worth Linux running on mainframes because mainframes are expensive? Is it not worth Kerberos being free software because the only real users of Kerberos are enterprises? Computing freedom for anyone is computing freedom, and contributes to a norm of user control instead of service provider control. This step is a very small step, and it only affects a few users. But it's still a step in the right direction.…

>All it takes is for a admin (or hacked admin account) to change the password of the target slack user and login as said user to view all their private messages. An admin cannot change a user's password. You can enable an account wide feature which allows admins to view all messages but that's separate and costs money. Also not what you described.
If you're using SSO, which almost every big customer does, you can usually do a password reset in the SSO itself. Also I'm pretty sure a Slack admin can change a user's email address, at which point they can trigger a password reset.

Can you elaborate on why you are asking how a chatroom service compares to a webapp framework?

Using Slack isn’t really a choice for most people, but I agree, coming up with alternatives is important.
I see one benefit of this being able to securely throw away data. Like if you are doing work for customer XYZ and chatting about it on the corresponding channel you can throw away the keys for the channel when the project ends.
Wonder how all this granularity works together with the search functionality. Or maybe they maintain per channel search index that can be covered by a separate key.

It's pretty clear many customers don't want control, they want features, and irc lacks those.
Not true, Slack is actually pretty far behind on terms of features. It is true that people like the better looking, easier to use technology however.
