Depending on your needs and using this will vary. RC with Mongo and MM with Postgres both use about 500MB/RAM combined (front+back end) when idle. If you will host a lot of users you will probably have to deploy a load-balanced configuration (that I will not talk about). Of course, this will depend on the number of users that you intend to serve. Resource vise both platforms are lightweight.
Element vs rocketchat how to#
For both of them, I have articles linked at the beginning so you can see what needs to be done and how to get them running. So in short if you are looking at a solution that will give you options to migrate your DB to almost any opensource platform out there, MM is a clear winner here.įor my personal use, this does not matter even though I don't have any other app running with MongoDB.Īs I mentioned before running these two platforms doesn't take a lot to get them up and running. There are old GitHub tickets that are talking about his topic but RC DEV side is not looking to invest time into other DB platform support at this time. RC unfortunately is working only with Mongo and there is no reference that that will change in the near or distant future. Some organizations might have issues running or using one DB over the other, so having more options is always better. This fact alone can be a tipping point for someone to choose one chat platform over the other. RC uses MongoDB as it's backend and MM, on the other hand, can work with multiple backends such as Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, and Maria to name the few. So getting them up and running via Docker doesn't take that long at all.Įach of them is easy to set up and requires only two docker containers, the database one and the platform itself. Well, it wins for me just because of one single thing, but then again it doesn't matter if you win by a foot or a mile right? General overviewĪs I mentioned before the main reason I am looking into these two platforms is because they can be self-hosted. Permissions - mainly the options that both platforms offer in terms of working with user permissions (class/roles)Īnother TL DR - rocket.chat wins in the end :).Desktop, mobile, and web apps/access - how each platform works with their dedicated desktop and mobile app as well as browser support.Chat, audio/video conference, file share, and screen share features - focusing in general what apps can offer in terms of usability, and performance when using these features.General overview - comparing the platform overall features, ease of use, self-host deployment, resource requirements, etc.I will focus on several elements that matter to me in my everyday routine. The idea behind this article is to see what both platforms offer, lack, and have in common. MatterMost with default and custom dark theme MM? Well the thing is there are several RC-like platforms out there but MM is one of the most popular and both of these can be self-hosted (SLACK and Teams can't). Rocket.Chat v3.7 with custom theme and channel avatars It is a #SLACK, Microsoft Teams alternative as well as Mattermost (that I will be talking about here). TL DR - RC is an open-source collaboration platform aimed to be used as a chat, audio/video, file share, and much more. In case you are unfamiliar with it, look at some of my other articles before getting back to this one. It is no secret that I love rocket.chat platform (considering they have changed their brand look I will use the same here as well, so the name is in small caps). Rocket Chat still remains a very solid platform, but MM is just more polished when compared to it, especially today (August 2022).
Also, as covered in the article, you will see that Mattermost has a number of advantages, that just work better. The main reason was permissions management, but with version 5 this is no longer the case. UPDATE: - Blackvoid support chat has switched from Rocket.Chat to Mattermost.
