Great but needs improvement

Does the things you expect of a chat platform. It's not as robust as Slack but it is secure for our needs. Probably too big an ask but we *sorely* miss the open jump-in voice calls Discord has.Small ask: On Mac Desktop first login, please prompt the user to enable notifications. The app will not even show up in notification settings otherwise until it tries to send one. I spent months thinking notifications were just broken. They aren't, they need permission that's never, ever requested on Mac.
Eye opening

In a world where everything is a subscription, as a small business running the open-source, free Mattermost Community Edition has been eye-opening. It runs on a server with 2GB of RAM, dual-core, and 40GB of storage. A computer almost 10 years old. And it operates like Slack does. Fast, nimble, no issues whatsoever. For close to 100 people. I hope we get to the point where we’re a huge enterprise and pay Mattermost to licence their Enterprise Edition, but Mattermost should be a wakeup call to small organisations everywhere — and greedy companies like Slack — that you don’t need to pay $12/month for each employee to chat with them.
Pretty Good

This is the only option at our company for a Slack-like app with the necessary security features. Good features, syncs well between phone and computer, and miles ahead of the default IM app installed on our work computers. Request to developers to please make threaded responses more readable - by default they should open in a side bar without posting to the main conversation. The current implementation makes threaded conversations very cluttered and hard to follow. User should be able to choose whether to post to just the thread or publish to the main channel.
It is a capable chat platform, with a few growing pains
bahsme
I use Mattermost on a daily basis. I find it to be a good chat platform, working well for both small and large teams. Our organization uses two servers, which is something thsat other chat pllatfforms hide to some degree (or don't support since they are SaaS). This is great but isn't handled very well by the UI in that one server is very much forefront with the others mostly unseen. This has gotten worse with the recent releases as the tab bar used to indicate server now is used for more tooling (bloat in progress) around automation.
Server version v11.7.0 or later is required.
- Mattermost Desktop App v6.3.1 contains medium severity level security fixes. Upgrading is recommended.
- Fixed an issue where a malformed SiteURL in a configured server's client configuration could persistently crash the Desktop App on launch.
- Updated file download finalization handling for saved downloads.
- Fixed an issue with some local network access checks.
- Fixed an issue where the Calls widget could crash the app when resized to a very large size.
- Fixed an issue where initial attribute sending wouldn't work.
