Stream Chat Reviews & Product Details

Our migration to Stream went off without a hitch.

Integration was really easy.

The Stream team was very helpful during integration to help us implement our tech.

When we flipped the switch to migrate, it went off without a hitch.

Operations have been super easy since - we haven't had any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real issues so far. The tech has been good, and the Stream people have been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using stream chat for over a year and can share some of my 1st-year experience and why I chose Stream Chat for my app. What attracted me initially was the list of features and the price point, which were reasonable and scalable. Five nines availability, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, TS React client and UI library, updates and an active GitHub community were all ticks on my checklist. If you've never built a chat app before, this is an excellent place to start with plenty of support docs and videos you can find on YOutube. Using Stream Chat has been a positive learning experience for me. If you're learning and are comfortable with HTML/CSS but new to Javascript or a framework like React, the documentation is excellent at teaching how to customise the app while building your MVP. It's also free for makers so it really lowers the barriers, to turn ideas and concepts into products and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, so good. In some cases, I've had to dissect and customise the code for my own use for improved performance and new features, but that was expected due to all the features supported in the provided SDK and UI components. My only wish is there was some sort of Discord or Slack community where users could support each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure and the ability to customize the widget and create faces of teammates is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had a very positive experience with Stream chat, starting with the experience we've had with their support team, that were very responsive, and even agreed to further support us while in beta prior to our initial public release. The front-end SDK is also very handy, as our engineering team made the most of that and didn't have to code everything from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though the team graciously agreed on extending our trial period, we ended up having to pay for the subscription for a couple of months while we were still in development. Also, the Figma UI kit feels a bit outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream Chat is a chat SDK that allows you to easily build chat functionality into your app. It has a wide range of features such as real-time messaging, group chat, push notifications, and more. Additionally, it is flexible and customizable, allowing you to tailor the chat experience to your specific needs. If a friend or colleague is looking to build chat functionality into an app, Stream Chat would be a good option to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not aware of any specific issues with Stream Chat, but as with any software, there may be bugs or compatibility issues that arise. It's always a good idea to thoroughly test any software before deploying it in a production environment. Additionally, it's important to keep the SDK and dependencies up to date to ensure that any known issues have been resolved. If you do encounter an issue while using Stream Chat, you can reach out to the Stream Chat support team for assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

The SDK was super simple to set up, and we were able to use the React components to spin up our live chat feature extremely quickly. It was one of the quickest integrations with a third-party provider that we've had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I've been very pleased. One challenge we did have was around version upgrades. Stream could do a bit better providing a "changelog" between version upgrades that would make it a bit easier. From a product perspective though, the stability and performance have been ideal - no issues there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used Stream for the last 6 months to power our chat messaging. It was really helpful to get the standard chat messaging features integrated into our user experience. Our users were delighted to see chat messaging get added quickly with all of the standard features like ... for typing, reactions to messages, threaded replies and editing of messages.

Stream Chat takes a bit of leg work from our engineering team to register the user in Stream. The data is hosted on Stream instead of our database so it requires our APIs to speak with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream chat has been both easy to integrate and easy to grow. Support is fantastic for any issues that may arise. Customization has been considered from the start, which has allowed us to integrate Stream Chat seamlessly into our product. Frequent updates and good documentation provide a nice developer experience as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chat is unavoidably opinionated when thinking about all the variables at play. Integrating Stream Chat in a way that leans into the choices and opinions is a straightforward experience. Our highly customized integration required a bit of back-and-forth with support. To their credit, support was always eager to help us solve our issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream Chat provides a way to add a chat in your service or app. We liked we could integrate and use it in a very short time. The chat is well done, provides a lot of nice features and can be used in the web and in mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like Stream Chat and we do not have any specific thing we dislike. Maybe a lower price could be even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
