Aanty vs Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat is open and customizable. Aanty is opinionated where it counts — calm and secure.
Why teams look at Aanty over Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat is a flexible, open-source platform with broad customization. Aanty takes the opposite stance where it matters: an opinionated inverted attention model, structural security (RLS isolation, append-only audit), and E2EE done carefully — with a published protocol and a funded audit, learning from the industry’s broken-crypto missteps.
Security by construction
Tenant isolation in the database and an append-only audit log — not just configuration options.
E2EE done right
True end-to-end encryption for the channels that need it, with a published protocol and independent audit.
Calm by default
An opinionated needs-you-first model rather than infinite configurability you must tune yourself.
