Talkative versus Rocket.Chat

Talkative is more than just a chat widget. The platform offers full remote-support availability. Ideal if you’re in the application business and need to take a look at specific settings or uncover more details on your customer.

The integration with Mitel is unique and caters to a group of companies that already have voice services.

Rocket.Chat is a SaaS and genuine Free Open Source Software platform. They are developing an impressive range of communication and collaboration solutions for a wide variety of organizations, catering to industries like financial services, healthcare, and governments.

Open Source

Rocket.Chat, being Open Source, lets you review the code yourself or contribute to the project in their GitHub Repository. Unlike most providers, Rocket.Chat holds an MIT license, granting you full ownership and control over your code, data, privacy, and security. Detailed documentation for developers is available on the Rocket.Chat website, allowing you to build upon their framework and customize integrations.

One of their core products is Team Collaboration which you can set up as a privately hosted alternative to Slack. Of course, the use case for their software highlighted here is Customer Service and Engagement.

With Rocket.Chat you can manage live chat, email, SMS, and social media channels in a single security-oriented hub. The options and features at hand are mostly limited by your imagination.
