HipChat (https://www.hipchat.com/)

- It "just works" on every platform, including my phone.

- It's great for group chat and one-on-one.

- If someone @mentions me while I'm away or offline, it will send me an email and/or pop-up on my phone just like any other notification (all of this is configurable).

- You can use HubBot with it and it has GitHub integration.

- You can use it over XMPP if you need to.

I never thought I'd pay for a chat product given all of the free options out there, but it is just so good that I can't help but recommend it to everyone.
