Corporate messenger + AD

Question

Messengers

Hello! There was a need for a new corporate messenger. Need AD support.
(List of contacts by groups. Automatic authorization.) Scan via GPO.
We are currently using miranda + openfire. Miranda itself (this version) is already outdated.
Recommend an alternative. Thank you.

Answer 1

Lync, Sametime

Answer 2

We have Jabber Spark, so-so, but everything performs the main functions

Answer 3

Try JAJC or Psi as clients - nice enough.
IMHO, if the server works well and stably, why change?

best of the corporate messengers
, you can also install a corporate service from them
There is a free version, a pro-account from 4 dollars
and further, as your costs and needs allow
