"At Deutsche Bahn, we chose Rocket.Chat over Mattermost. We chose Rocket.Chat because of the way they’ve always done open source. It was more interesting for us than other free products because it was clear that the major features of it, which are necessary for enterprises, were not being cut off the main code line.”

More than just team collaboration

Extending collaboration to customer interactions
Rocket.Chat allows you to go beyond team collaboration and talk to your customers. You can manage customer conversations coming from multiple channels within a single, unified Rocket.Chat panel.
Simple and secure chat embedding
Unlike Element, you can use Rocket.Chat iFrames and SDKs to embed a chat interface into your product. With a configuration that restricts access inside any iFrame, Rocket.Chat’s Chat Engine offering is highly secure and customizable.
