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

"Slack helps me to read bulk messages."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is communication between team members."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"The most valuable features of Slack are basic chatting, file sharing, and screen sharing."
"Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there."
"Slack's categorization of content and the availability of channels are highly valuable, as they keep communications organized."
"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 has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Notifications are not as good as they could be (especially for mobile)."
"The product crashes when I use it on the desktop."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
"The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly."
"In Slack, there are areas for accessibility improvements."
"The UI could be a little bit better."
"We could see improvement in Slack by having an integrated meeting tool. Currently, we rely on third-party integration tools like Zoom to schedule meetings. It would be much more convenient to schedule meetings directly within Slack without additional integrations. It needs to have calendar and CRM integrations as well."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
