Not being available on-prem continues to show how poorly Atlassian treats its enterprise customers. * No feature parity * No pre-built packages or support for configuration / infrastructure management - everything must be packaged completely from scratch, without recommended package specifications or Dockerfiles etc. to build off of. Nope - "here's a tar.gz. Have fun!" * No proper enterprise support and no access to…

Agreed - we offer on-premise (and drive significant revenue from it) at Userify for people who prefer their SSH key management in-house. To be fair to Atlassian, they basically invented on-prem with SaaS-style pricing (and did us all a great service), and their biggest competitor here (Slack) isn't available on-prem either. Some of these features that you list in Crowd are ironically very similar to missing features…

For what it's worth, I'd love to try and push Userify at my workplace, but without a trial version to install on-prem, I have nothing to try and persuade people of the value of Userify. Such a trial version should be relatively easy to push out the door - just disable Active Directory / LDAP integration in the trial version.

Also, telling on-prem customers to run

curl -# https://usrfy.io/upgrade.sh enterprise |sudo -sE

to manually upgrade.... for a security product... completely DOA.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Discord is more in line with TeamSpeak and Mumble; being that it's targeting gamers.

We use Discord for all communications at my company, including now our video chats. We are fully remote and Discord is so much better than Hangouts it's not even funny. I've also transferred all my skype and hangouts contact lists into Discord. It's a lovely tool, lock in be damned.

How is Discord on Linux?

So we have all of these chat apps. Choice is never a bad thing, but this has to be somewhat beyond saturation point, no? I don't know about anyone else, but I would rather have my work chat apps resemble social media chat apps less rather than more. Fewer Gif's, fewer emojis — they can be funny and endearing in the right context, but just feel forced and obtuse in a work setting. Also, this is coming from the makers…

> Fewer Gif's

My team often uses gifs to document and demonstrate workflows in UIs. It's easier to consume than a series of screenshots, albeit harder to maintain.

now we just need a chat app that bridges all the chat apps. (again)

Why would a business use multiple solutions?

As a contractor with multiple customers and each their own chat solution it is kind of handy to have it all in one area.

Now we have Slack, Discord, Gitter, Microsoft Teams, and Atlassian Stride. I'm not sure when chat rooms became a business tool. Personally, I find myself distracted more than anything from all the notifications these apps cause, I get less done. I have to be sure to quit every chat app and put my phone in "do not disturb" to disconnect and focus, and then I get coworkers mad that I'm not online. At least with email I…

Well stride kind of handles that with focus mode. I think most people are aware that sometimes you need to disconnect to focus.

I don't use any Atlassian products, but I see the appeal of a Slack-like chat app that natively integrates with other Atlassian products - particularly for knowledge management purposes. Businesses can configure/customize Slack to do this, but it's not really intuitive.

IRC has been around for decades and is often used for the same purposes that I now use Slack for with various open source communities. Before slack, it was IRC for many years.
