Zulip, alternative Linux à Slack
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Zulip is a strong, honest replacement for Slack, particularly for teams that find Slack’s flat message streams chaotic. It excels at organizing high-volume discussions through mandatory threading, which keeps context intact. While it lacks some of Slack’s polished integrations out of the box, its open-source nature allows for deep customization and self-hosting. If your team values structured conversation over quick, fragmented pings, Zulip will feel like an upgrade. It is less suitable for casual, low-volume chat where immediate, unthreaded responses are preferred.

Ce qui change

Ouvrir vos fichiers Slack
Zulip does not natively open Slack-specific file formats or archive structures. You will need to export data from Slack using their built-in export tools (usually CSV or JSON) and then manually import or reference those files within Zulip. There is no direct, one-click migration path for file attachments; you must re-upload or link them to the new environment.
Passer de Slack à Zulip, étape par étape
- Export user lists and channel structures from Slack via the admin console
- Set up a Zulip server (self-hosted or hosted) and create corresponding realms and channels
- Import user accounts and assign roles using Zulip’s admin API or CSV import tools
- Migrate historical messages using third-party scripts or manual export/import if necessary
- Configure SSO and MFA settings to match your existing security policies
- Communicate the switch to the team and provide a brief guide on threaded conversation etiquette
