More SaaS vs self-host. But. We used self-hosted Mattermost to “save money” on Slack.

The loss in productivity was so big that it was definitely not worth the money saved. And the promised “it’s open source, if it misses a feature, we will implement it” never materialised either, as the whole thing is really complex.

I don’t know why is Mattermost so slow and buggy. But it was. And nobody had time to research and profile that.
