Goober Networks

Goober Networks offers an instant messaging client for Windows (and soon Mac, Linux and celular phones) that can also be used for VoIP. The job it does: replacing internal email with channels and direct messages.

It makes the most sense for every team. Alongside the main category they mention Developer Tools, Messaging and VoIP. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Goober Networks is based in Dover, Delaware. More on goober.com.

Things worth asking about: search, retention policies, and external guest access. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Goober Networks, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
