I host this for a team. Haven't used it (or Slack) really myself, but as far as
hosting and admin goes, it's quite easy to set up and use.

I've hosted this for several years. Biggest reason I don't use it myself is that
the client requires Flash. Also a bit awkward to have to integrate with another
web application as a front-end. I find it had a lot of potential, but feels kind
of awkward to use and admin, and doesn't seem to have grown much over the last 5
years (unless I just haven't been paying attention). It did serve our team well
for several years though in terms of screen sharing remote meetings.
