What it does
eXo Chat is the messaging tool listed in eXo Platform's collaboration offers. The vendor lists Chat alongside activity streams, video conferencing, project and task tools, and document collaboration. eXo Platform is available as a Community Edition and as commercial Enterprise and hosted SaaS offers; the product page advertises a 14-day SaaS trial.
Organizations evaluating eXo Platform can include Chat as part of a broader collaboration workspace rather than selecting it as a separate messenger. The product comparison lists Chat among its collaboration tools, alongside meetings, projects and tasks, and document co-editing. This may suit a team that wants conversation and project work in one platform, but the public offer page does not detail chat-specific controls or present Chat as a standalone service. eXo describes a free Community Edition and paid subscription offers, including SaaS priced per user. No workspace, message, or collaboration feature was tested.
