Rocket.ChatLinux vs Microsoft Teams (newer versions)Windows

Rocket.Chat als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Teams (newer versions)

Aktualisiert am 29. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Rocket.Chat is a strong, self-hosted alternative for teams that prioritize data ownership and open standards. It covers core chat, video, and file sharing well. However, it lacks the deep Microsoft 365 integration, such as native Outlook calendar sync and Azure AD single sign-on, that many Teams users rely on. It is best for organizations willing to manage their own infrastructure or use Rocket.Chat’s cloud, and who do not need tight coupling with existing Microsoft enterprise tools.

Ihre Microsoft Teams (newer versions)-Dateien öffnen

Rocket.Chat does not natively open or export Microsoft Teams-specific file formats. It handles standard office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) and PDFs via its file viewer or by downloading them to edit in external applications. There is no direct migration tool to convert Teams chat history or file structures into Rocket.Chat; files must be manually re-uploaded or synced via API scripts.

Häufige Fragen

Can Rocket.Chat integrate with my existing Microsoft 365 calendar?

Not natively. You will need to use third-party integrations or the API to sync events, but it is not as seamless as Teams' built-in Outlook integration.

Is Rocket.Chat free to use?

The software is free and open-source under the MIT license. You pay for hosting infrastructure if self-hosting, or for their managed cloud service if you choose that option.

Does Rocket.Chat support end-to-end encryption?

Yes, it offers end-to-end encryption for private channels and direct messages, which is a feature not available in standard Microsoft Teams configurations.
