Good and Bad of RocketChat
Before rocket chat we used Teams, but a lot of the new hires and frontline employess would spend a lot of time talking and messaging each other. With Rocket Chat limiting the features each user could access, they would only have access to specific chats, this improved the conversations, the interactions and team morale overall.
Also, management had the opportunity to address issues and offer better more direct instructions porpously targeted to specific audiences (group chats).
