Are you phoning up our support team ten minutes before they clock off and requesting something that involves engineering time and license purchases and is something that our project team have been trying to engage with you on for weeks? Are you then issuing ultimatums about how it 'has' to be done right there and then because you have an expensive consultant sat on site waiting? Do you go on to be rude to our admin staff when they pick the phone up, and repeatedly put the phone down on them? Yeah, you can get hosed buddy.

I don't use any of these new fangled chats but didn't discord make slack obsolete like facebook made myspace obsolete? Where will the cool teens go next?

Meh. I'm being such a fan boy of a product were vetting that people are assuming I get a kick back on the sale. What's wrong with being excited for a good product?!

I like Slack a lot and vastly prefer it to the AIM-style of SfB and whatnot.

I can sort of see the usefulness of it, because AFAIK there's no way to revert a mailbox back to a point-in-time in Office 365 if somebody fucks it up, which is a pretty standard feature that admins backing up legacy Exchange deployments have been able to do for a while. I don't really see the point of doing it by downloading all the data locally when things like NetApp Cloud Control exist.

Yea, backing up O365 environments is highly desirable for some customers. We just talked to one that flat out wouldn’t look at solutions that couldn’t back up their Exchange, OneDrive and Sharepoint environments as well as on prem.

Discord doesn't have animated emoticons and Slack doesn't have good voice chat. Overlapping feature sets, neither obsoletes the other.

I've always been curious on this. 365 has internal backups. Hell you can do PITR in one drive, you have 2 week periods on Exchange and SPO, what's the motivation for adding a third party into that mixture?

Neddy Seagoon posted:Slack is insanely useful for work, because you can use webhooks to plug in a whole lot of notifications from your network gear or hardware. So nice being told at a glance that a connection's gone down (or come back up) when it happens and you're away from your computer. Or you're on-call. Say what? That's not a "feature" thats a loving bug. One that I would demand to be immediately fixed. Then I'd remember that I have nothing to do with this nonesense and ask the kids to get off the lawn and generally be happy with life. Still, thats a bug.

You are already using Veeam for other backups, but you want more than 14/30 day backups for exchange online. Most customers that would use something like this are already archiving mail outside of office 365.

To even "look for a communication protocol" in TYOOL 2018 is quite funny. Not only that, but to choose an unreliable & expensive one when everything else is available is either incompetence or malfeasance. To even ask for "proposed alternative" ... jesus. On what planet are you living on?

Just do your corporate IT chats on efnet with some bots that talk about your servers. Surely nothing bad could happen.

Yeah, where I am, the guys on-call are entirely extra assistance if the guys working at night/on weekends can't fix something, but if I were the one responsible for IDing and fixing stuff that brakes, a chat client that notified me inobtrusively would be so, so much better than needing to keep a monitoring tool up on my PC all weekend. Email would be terrible - we get so much non-critical mail I would have to be checking my phone every couple minutes to see if THIS one is important.

When you're that big that you have to have the paid for features, you're ok with having a team managing a communications server for you. If you're already in bed with microsoft, most likely you're already paying for Teams, so you may as well use it. If you're that small that you simply cannot have a server ($5/month is too much for you) facing the internet at all ... then sure. It is the only use case that slack does make sense.
