Hello @kathrin,

Not related to voip, bu if per adventure you already have Synology NAS, they have small office suite, and a “Synology Chat” tool; if you do, give it a try, or install a docker of a communication tool you would like to use. If not, do not bother to buy just for that. :slight_smile:

Kind regards.

Hi @kathrin,

Strange to say, but for such searchs, AIs can help. I asked Grok.com and it came with five suggestions and a good deal of details and explanations. Here is the summary:

Recommendations
For a company with 100+ employees, I recommend:

  1. Microsoft Teams if you’re in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, for its scalability, security, and integrations. Verify if the free plan suits your business needs, or budget for $4/user/month.
  2. Rocket.Chat if security and customization are priorities, especially for self-hosting. Ensure you have IT support for setup.
  3. Pumble for a free, Slack-like experience with unlimited users, though you’ll need to manage file storage limits and rely on Zapier for integrations.
  4. Zoho Cliq if you use Zoho’s ecosystem, offering affordability and simplicity for remote teams.

Look at the full answer here if you want: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_a086a0c9-c8ef-4fd6-a884-5ca2a77e57b1

Kind regards and good luck!
