Mattermost
Secure deployment options that keep your data in your hands
From government agencies and intelligence organizations to financial services and healthcare companies, teams in high-security and regulated industries trust Mattermost for secure collaboration.
While Notion is a SaaS service that forces you into a public cloud, Mattermost lets you choose between on-prem and private cloud deployment options that meet your unique security and compliance needs and enable you to retain full control and sovereignty over your data. Deploy in air-gapped and other high-security environments, use EMM for secure mobile comms, and define granular controls for enterprise data archiving to keep data properly secure and accessible.
Built for fast-moving engineering teams
Mattermost goes beyond basic project management with collaboration features designed to help developer teams with up to tens of thousands of concurrent users build code, execute sprints, deploy releases, and manage outages and support escalations — all from one place.
Boards for project and product teams that need to manage deliverables, hit milestones, and stay aligned.
Channel-based collaboration with powerful automation and tool integrations to raise messaging to the level of a CLI.
Playbooks for structured workflows that require repeatable execution with predictable outcomes.
All the collaboration features developer teams need — not just project management
Reduce costs and increase productivity
Save as much as 70% on developer tools while helping your team reclaim 39% of their time for rapid and sustained ROI.
Design the perfect tool for the job
Leverage Mattermost’s open source codebase to build the exact tool your team needs instead of relying on an inflexible, proprietary solution designed for general business users.
Protect your most important asset
Safeguard sensitive company data and proactively secure your systems with your own IT team. Don’t learn about a vendor’s vulnerabilities in the news and wait for a proprietary fix.
