    It is completely free for education users, and allows deeper integration with files and documents, allowing chat to be just that: chat. It also allows for several levels of organization and just about everything is customizable.

    Nextcloud Talk, like most of Nextcloud, is very heavyweight. So if you don't have a very good server, it's going to be very slow (for me it was around 10 seconds to send a single message)

    Same user-friendliness of Slack, but running on the decentralized/federated XMPP network. No longer give your private/confidential data to a third-party.
