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 is valuable to me."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
"The most valuable feature for me was the different channels."
"Slack's categorization of content and the availability of channels are highly valuable, as they keep communications organized."
"Slack offers the ability to make customizable applications and plugins."
"Slack is a collaboration tool where you can create specific topic-related channels and manage different threads on different talks so people can interact and maintain a chat."
"The most valuable feature is the screen sharing, which works well."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"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."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
"The tool has stability issues that need to be improved. We are not native English speakers and Slack needs to integrate grammar checks."
"Slack's interface is not simple for me. It's not a user-friendly interface"
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"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."
"Notifications are not as good as they could be (especially for mobile)."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"Slack is not the cheapest solution, but that's okay."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
