I have seen spark used in quite a few environments. Seems to work well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Wright via Af To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, October 27, 2014 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] private company Instant Messaging
We’re using Openfire here as well. As far as clients, any XMMP client is compatible, we use Spark.

We have Openfire integrated with our AD domain. JAJC is automatically deployed (copied, no install required) to new clients via login scripts. JAJC automatically logs-in when it launches. The JAJC client is pretty simple overall and works decent. We’ve thought about moving either to Trillian’s hosted product or licensing their product for in-house use. It’s just hard to justify replacing something that’s working.

Not a fan of having any of the commercial ones being used by employees because its too tempting for them to use to talk with their friends. We have a No-IM policy and people respect that so looking for a good one I can just run internally for own quick communication Paul McCall, Pres.
