What is Mattermost?
Mattermost is an open-source team messaging and collaboration platform that organizations can self-host or buy hosted.
What does it do?
Provides channels, direct messages, threads, file sharing, and search, plus integrations, webhooks, and bots. Adds playbooks for repeatable operational workflows, calls, SSO, compliance exports, and admin controls.
Who is it for?
Engineering, security, and public sector teams that need chat running inside their own infrastructure for compliance, sovereignty, or air-gapped deployment.
What are the alternatives to Mattermost?
Slack is the hosted incumbent; Rocket.Chat is a similar self-hostable platform; Zulip organizes conversation by topic; Element runs on Matrix for federated, encrypted chat.
