Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat is an open-source communication platform that bundles chat, video conferencing, and file sharing in a sovereign environment.
Core Concept
Maximum control: Rocket.Chat can be operated entirely on your own infrastructure (on-premise or Swiss cloud). It offers high interoperability through support for the Matrix protocol.
Assessment
- Use case: Internal team communication in security-sensitive industries (healthcare, law, public authorities).
- Advantage: Full data sovereignty, end-to-end encryption available, and no per-user costs in the community edition.
- Limitation: Feature set and app quality lag somewhat behind Slack; requires administrative effort.
