We're hosting Mattermost (on-premise Slack alternative) privately so it rarely goes down. On those rare occassions we take a coffee break until everything is fixed.
Any opinion on Wire vs Mattermost? Wire is open source, end to end encrypted which Mattermost doesn't seem to be, it also has secure screen sharing and so on...
It's good, because they've copied most of the good parts from Slack. 😉
Multi-team functionality is the best thing. We can have many workspaces / teams and you only need one set of credentials to access everything. We have an internal team for confidential business and another team for chatting with external stakeholders.
From what I learned hosting a Mattermost instance is pretty easy and requires little configuration. I suggest everyone to check it out if Slack pricing gets too costly or your compliance requires you to control all your data.
We use it at our company too. In my opinion it is awesome! We also have our own gitlab instance. Both work very well together (mattermost login with gitlab account, notifications for CI pipelines and so on).
My favorite feature is the "Sidebar buttons" feature which shows the counts of your requested reviews, unread messages, assignments and open merge requests. You can click on any of the categories and it will navigate you to the appropriate view in Gitlab.

Haven't heard of Wire before. Screen sharing is definitely a killer feature I miss with Mattermost!
Their "pitch-force" is strong with me:
How does Mattermost stack up as a product, are you generally happy with it?

It looks very promising. I am thrilled to use the slash commands!
