Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's still valid for occasional use if you have patience and use quite a few messaging apps. It's still an app that lets you have several messaging tools at once from the same interface, and if you're patient and not in a hurry, I suppose it's relatively usable.
  • The free version gave me the ability to have 3 messaging apps in one place, to see notifications for each, the ability to switch quickly between apps and sync with my phone and other devices. There was a 10 second wait before messages opened if you hadn't been on the app for a while. This was annoying, but not worth paying $4 a month to remove.

Cons

  • With the latest version, it practically forces you to buy the paid version, since it imposes wait times to open the application. I might buy the paid version if this one weren't so resource-intensive and slowing down the entire operating system, but I'm not going to pay for a clearly degraded application full of bloatware. What I liked about Franz was its speed; even before the latest version, it was getting worse and worse, but now it's literally unbearable. It's much better to use the applications separately.
  • Sometimes the messaging apps would glitch and you would have to disconnect and then reconnect the service. Worse, they've increased the penalties for using the free version. I wasn't prepared to subscribe, because all the additional features in the professional version were unnecessary to me. Now they've made the free app unusable, a cynical downgrade. Now, free users have to wait 15 seconds to revisit Franz every single time they navigate away for more than a minute. The messenger apps don't automatically open when the wait is up. You have to click to continue. In practice this adds 20 seconds every time I go to check a notification, which is wasting around half an hour a day. I won't be using Franz any more. As soon as I have a moment to find an alternative, I'll delete it gladly.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Mattermost promotes the creation of documents that allow us to retain information in the short, medium, and long term and communicate between my colleagues and me through its efficient chat function. It is an incredible resource that helps us significantly reduce information loss over time, compare files and efficiently flow important information. Its platform is impressive and promotes communication and collaboration among colleagues in an effective way.
  • Mattermost is a messaging tool. Very innovative software helps in increasing productivity and efficiency of our team. Automatic workflows and easy to use. Secure and reliable software. Lots of features like don't disturb mode, emoji, sharing images, links and files. It can send thousands of messages in a minute.

Cons

  • I have not had any problems with this platform; it has worked properly and completely meets our expectations. It is excellent for work teams to stay in sync through chats to share resources, information and advance their activities.
  • No cons. After using Slack this is second best option to use.
