    "Self hosted happiness!"

    Posted 2021-09-23

    Pros: - threading is the "default" (just called Topics) inside streams
    - Self hosted is simple to do
    - "easy" integrations/webhooks
    - Slack "emulation" integration works and "easy" to get going to start
    - No fancy/flashy layouts
    - easy to get webhooks into streams and topics (per day/hour/etc.)
    - Selfhosted free

    Cons: - Self hosted you have to deal with your own server hosting issues
    - Not everybody integrates first natively to Zulip
    - Takes getting used to
    - No fancy/flashy layouts

    Overall: I love and use it daily!
    It doesn't have fancy flashy layouts, but it works and that is what is important to me, especially for receiving error messages/reports into the right stream/topic.
