Jabber lets users broadcast messages and alerts, but lacks polls and surveys. Chat rooms are not moderated, but you can create private and protected rooms, as well as public rooms that appear in a list for users to browse. You can create "available," "away" and "do not disturb" status messages; we could not send messages or alerts to
any user in "do not disturb" mode. Users can also integrate weather, ESPN and ABC News reports into the Jabber Messenger. Access to public IM networks (AOL, Yahoo, MSN) is available through an open-source gateway.
You can customize message logs to include whatever data you want or don't want, including the full message text. This data is stored in a flat text file, so you'll need to analyze it with an external tool. Jabber also can forward presence information to another server silently. For example, you can forward user logon/logoffs to an intranet Web server.
Jabber XCP is based on the open protocol XMPP. Although Jabber is the only vendor in our roundup that uses this protocol, many other vendors and IM clients use it, too. Many open-source Jabber clients will work with XCP.
