A competitive solution that improves collaboration and productivity
Slack has been around for a long time, and it's an industry leader. Of course, Salesforce owns Slack now and is starting to integrate into it. I have attended Slack conferences and met with product and support managers. They're an excellent organization. Choosing Slack depends on the organization's size, so you need to plan your deployment and make sure you put some controls and standards in place and not just turn it on. If you're a Slack shop, you will have to have something like a Zoom or Microsoft Teams platform for when you need to do video conferencing internally or externally. Many shops have both products, but they use Slack for collaboration, chat, and so on, and use Teams for video and audio conferences. At the end of the day, Slack is missing those capabilities, so either you're going to be a Slack/Zoom shop or you're going to be a Microsoft Teams shop. I rate Slack an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its integration with different apps is a great feature."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"Nowadays, we don't need to visit an HR portal. Our marketing and human resources teams directly share details about birthdays, upcoming events, and important dates in Slack. Whether it's a training event, a company-wide gathering, or a social event, all the information is shared there. This keeps us all updated."
"It allows to facilitate communication, allowing us to create channels for updates, file sharing, and photo sharing within our team profiles."
"Slack is a very stable product."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"Slack helps me to read bulk messages."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"We’d like it to have more capability for everyone to work on one doc in real time all at once."
"Slack tends to crash once a month."
"Slack's screen sharing might also add the remote control feature, which is not there."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"I would like the text in chat to be more customizable."
"It is difficult to navigate the tool when I log in to two devices and start a video call."
"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."
"The way groups are created on slack could be improved. Once you create a group of people, you can't add additional people unless you convert it to a channel."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The pricing can range up to about twenty bucks a user. You can spend a lot of money, especially if you're talking about thousands of users. Generally speaking, Slack is less expensive than Teams. Slack doesn't include all the bells and whistles that Teams does. So you can go from a $6 license in Microsoft 365 to a $50 license per user per month, and there's a lot more you can do in the $50 license."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
