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

"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"Slack is a powerpack bundle of features that help small or large organizations to handle teams and their tasks."
"Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams."
"Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there."
"Slack helps us keep the conversation focused and avoid multiple threads that create more confusion. I would say that has been the biggest advantage for us."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The product makes communication seamless."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Sometimes Slack behaves unexpectedly and shuts down without notification or support communication."
"For me, the only thing I can say is that every time somebody sent me an attachment, the attachment was listed somewhere, and then I had to open the conversation and go to the individual to open it. So there is no handy repository or an easy way to quickly look at attachments. For me, that was a bit difficult."
"The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first."
"It would be highly advantageous if it could incorporate calendar information from sources like Outlook or Gmail, providing users not only with meeting schedules but also a comprehensive daily agenda view."
"Sometimes, the servers are not available."
"The UI could be a little bit better."
"The video calling experience on Slack needs improvement."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"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."
