Beyond the platform-wide features every app gets, Rocket.Chat on VCloud specifically means:
- Unlimited, searchable message history. Nothing is hidden behind a retention limit the way Slack's free tier works - history is bounded only by your instance's storage.
- Mobile push that actually works. Push notification gateways are a common failure point on self-managed Rocket.Chat installs; VCloud configures them correctly as part of setup.
- Real-time messaging that stays real-time. The connection path is configured specifically to support the persistent connections Rocket.Chat relies on, rather than degrading to polling.
- A Slack import path in. Rocket.Chat's built-in Slack importer brings across channels, messages, and users from a standard export.
