Slack is the top choice for teams to communicate. It provides a virtual workspace that helps teams maintain open communication in a business environment. With Slack, users can host voice and video calls with up to 15 participants and even screen share with a desktop app, empowering better user interaction. Slack also supports options for private and group sessions, and one of its best features is Slack Huddles–an informal meeting space that lets you directly talk to your channel where you can share screen side by side with your team. The platform integrates well with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Trello as well.

Easy to use and find relevant conversations and threads. Very useful for internal communication.
If you don't configure notifications correctly, you may feel overwhelmed with so much notification.
Creating channels open to team members allows us to effectively structure our discussions by project.
best thing about slack is its intuitive interace as it allows teams and groups to communicate effectively, the capabilities of creating channels, threads, direct messages makes it very flexible for teams to communicate slack provides integrations with various crms which is of great help i use slack every single day and every professional and formal conversations with my teams are done on the same, im currently using both the pc and the mobile app slackbot, slacks own bot is one of my favv features of slack as it helps me to set reminders and timers for my work
costing is one major factors when it comes to drawbacks of slack but again the free version do provide some essential features, notifications settings to be managed and turned off properly as sometimes larger teams can flood unecesarry notifications
slack is allowing me to customize my entire app, i can put different emojis to potray if im out of office, if im in a meeting, if im sick and many morei can personalize my workspace and create a team/group of my own, can create threads, can set reminders, can manage different and multiple channels at once. slacks customisation and the search feature is unparalleled
Que es súper facil comunicarse con el equipo de trabajo, ya sea con un miembro o por un canal con diferentes grupos por diferentes temáticas de trabajo. Usamos Slack todos los días todo el día. Usamos las reuniones con voz y compartimos pantalla. También la usamos como repositorio de información para buscar temas. Se puede integrar con varias herramientas como Asana, lo que permite un mejor seguimiento de las tareas. También me gusta la manera de compartir archivos en los grupos y el manejo de estados que permite la herramienta.
No hay nada en particular que me desagrade de Slack, lo único que podría sumar es una agenda de reuniones.
Slack resuelve la comunicación con el equipo, tanto como chat para compartir informacion y comunicarnos diariamente, tanto 1 a 1 como canales de grupos, como tambien nos soluciona la necesidad de reunirnos para hablar y compartir la pantalla. Es realmente una herramienta esencial para el trabajo de equipos remotos y distribuidos.
Slack is the best enterprise communication platform out there. It integrated with so many apps in order to elevate the user experience. Love the emojis and gifs available, such a great way to make the workplace a little more fun and personalized. I use it all day long for work and even on weekends. It's a great way to communicate both for projects and for fun (donuts)
So many commands and automations to use, I feel like the Slack team could make availble more walkthroughs in order to accelerate the full potential of the platform for users.
Great way to connect internally with my coworkers, no more emailing and inboxes! Slack is much more user friendly.
Slack is a feature-rich platform for Communication. It has all tools we need for collaboration. I like the canvas that helps us work together. The workflow builder an amazing feature. Slack is very intuitive and user friendly. Customer support is very attentive to offer assistance.
Slack has been part of us for an year now, I haven't discovered any dislike yet.
We have all tools to communicate and collaborate with one another. I like Slack for that.
Easy to use and smooth. Status update is very handy during workdays to let coworkers know what I am up to.
nothing specific comes to mind. Nothing there to dislike.
Easy access to all my coworkers and easy to find and communicate to other teams.
Well, it perfectly integrates with the tools that most of the SME and large enterprise uses, such as HubSpot zapier etc
Nothing as such but the UI could be much more better
So, if i want to document any action items and share it amongst members that are associated i can simply create a group and do it, we use HubSpot extensively so we need to know any roadblocks that our customers are facing instantly so it has integration and automation which enables notification and makes us aware of such cases instantly
This has been one of our super favorites. We use this to communicate internally in our organization. Simple, straightforward, highly functional and it has a nice look.
So far, Slack has allowed me to do everything I want to do using it. By sending files or just plain messages, Slack serves it purpose very well.
Ease of communication. This is a must have in every organization.
It is one of the best collaboration tools which helps in internal communication
Slack reminders feature is right now at a nascent stage. Would love to see iterations of this.
Internal Communication via Instant Messaging
Easy access to everything, integration with everything, settings options, messages boxes etc
I would like to see push to talk kind of option during the call meetings. In case I have background noise this would solve the issue for me.
easy access to my team mates
The ease of use, good communication features, the external integrations, the general application vibe
There is nothing I can think of about Slack that I don't like
Slack allows immediate communication between the company users. It provides transparency about my co-workers and their association with the company. With it's channels and grouping features, it allows to organize based on any category as per the users needs. I particularly like the threads feature as it allows to have a continuous conversation around one topic while having another in the main chat without any confusion. The application also has fun elements by adding emojis and reactions and gif integrations and theme customizations. The integrations between multiple external applications allows to keep track on a lot of things under one umbrella.
That you can easily stay connected to co-workers and friends remotely
I can't think of anything I don't like; I have not had any issues yet.
To be able to stay connected when we are still working remote, and to stay in contact with folks who live in different states. I like how you can make private channels as well for smaller groups.
Personally, the main reason for using Slack daily is that it keeps work related messages in a specific app that I can simply turn off when I'm not working. Thanks to its integrations, I can also automate the workflow and get notified of important events: receiving a new order, an email from a client, the due date for a project/task on Monday, etc. It truly does what it promises: it is a productivity platform.
Sometimes it is difficult to get team members to use Slack if they do not need the automations mostly because they wrongly go for the messaging apps. However, in the long terms, I guess most of them understand the benefits and the easy of use/implementation!
Too tired of mixing personal and business messages in the same app. Slack helps me to keep work related messages in a specific place that I can simply turn off when I'm not working.
The best part is its easy to understand for anybody. It can be used or integrated with multiple application whic helps to make our service best. Team communication is very fast.
I did't find anything to be disliked in slack its the best app can be used for business.
As its instant business messanger we connect with our team to make work done and keep updated. Its one of best part that I like is the bot the slack bot help us a lot and it can integrate with many application and this help us alot like giving alert in channel.
I have an experience of using slack for more than 2 years in two different companies,therefore I love how easy and comprehensive it is. It gives me the possibility to communicate directly with the colleagues, creating different channels accordingly to discuss the specific topics. With that reason you cannot miss any of the chat/message in the thread. Being a Team Leader, It is extremely easy to integrate with the team members and discuss and make announcements to them in a proper way. Basically, we use Slack frequently, every day. The possibility to record voices, listen to the recording in different regimes and have calls if necessary is an advantage that many platforms do not have. Moreover, I always change statuses and can pause the notifications if needed, not to be disturbed.
Sometimes there are technical glitches and the notifications might not be visible for severa hours. However it appears after some period of time.
As a employee of an international company the communication problem is higlhy solved as I can have a direct dialogue with the colleagues not being afraid of the lack of communication with them. They always receive my notifications and are aware of all the announcements made by each other.
It's the best app for communication within teams or agencies. It is simple and has all the integrations required for a business to operate. We use Slack on a daily basis
Nothing much, we have been using slack for more than 3-4 years now.
Slack is our backbone for communication. If we had to do stuff without getting on a call, the chats are always through Slack. If there is a need for any more assistance, we use the huddle option to get on a call. The integrations with Google Workspace are notable and are used every day. The mobile app is also convenient. The days of communication via email is over now.
Multiple options available for status update. Easy interface
no option to make adjustments in profile picture
Very helpful in client interaction
Slack has played a crucial role in connecting everyone in our organization, and I genuinely believe that. As a front-end developer, Slack has made it much simpler for me to collaborate with my team members, share ideas, and discuss the progress of our projects. This has greatly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our development process. Furthermore, Slack provides integration with various development tools, which allows me to receive notifications and updates directly within the platform. These tools can include version control systems, continuous integration tools, and project management platforms. On top of that, Slack is user-friendly and straightforward to use and implement, thanks to its well-designed interface. One standout feature is the powerful search function, which enables me to quickly find information or references within chat history, thereby saving time and aiding in problem-solving. Thanks to Slack, I can confidently say that my productivity in collaboration and efficiency has greatly increased, thanks to its capabilities and broad range of features.
As you begin using Slack, you may find the app disorderly and overwhelming, causing concern about potential information loss or overlooking important updates. The initial experience can appear chaotic. However, you can overcome these challenges by utilizing the app's customizable settings and seeking assistance from customer support. Additionally, as your team becomes familiar with how to optimize Slack for their requirements and with repeated usage, it becomes increasingly manageable..
Every day, we rely on this tool to work together with our team, sharing information about tasks, stories, and project details, as well as communicating in a formal or informal manner. Its system of channels allows me to stay organized by categorizing discussions based on project, task, or topic. This makes it effortless for both me and my team to find the information we need and participate in discussions related to our work.
Channels, later list and integrations are fantastic
to do not have threads, it was very helpful
reduces the meetings and speed up the communication
I love how easy it is to use. Not only is it easy, but there is a lot of ways to make it fun. (gifs, hashtags, and various channels) It allows for a lot of customization. Great for communiation!
I love slack, I have never had such an easy communication channel. It is so easy to find things in the seach. I can not think of one thing sorry!
It allows my business to do inpromptu business calls which is so nice that it quickly notifies the other caller, and shows your if they are online, sick, on vacation, etc. I love that it allows you to have personal channels, team channels, and company wide channels. It makes it easy to seperate the communication. I also love the serach feature. It makes it very easy for me to find purchase orders in my job!
