Slack Reviews

I use the tool to communicate with my team because we work remotely since COVID. 

The solution has a great user interface and functionalities. It has good features that we can use. We can integrate any third-party application with Slack so that it provides you with insights and updates in real-time on Slack itself.

The solution needs to improve its scalability. 

I have been using the solution for four to five years. 

I would rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 60 users for the product. 

The solution's initial setup is easy. You just have to sign up with your work email and you're good to go. We have deployed the solution on the cloud. 

The product is worth its money. 

The solution is expensive. 

You can use this solution if you want to give your employees a good experience in communication. 

I mainly use Slack as a collaborative chat, video and audio tool. I am able to set up a Slack room for different purposes and have all major stakeholders collaborate in real time. I enjoy the functionality on Slack that enables my team members to edit and collaborate on documents simultaneously.

Slack has helped to increase the productivity of my teams and organization. We have been able to cut down on subscription costs, reduce client delivery time, troubleshoot more effectively, and achieve positive results more easily. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams.

Chat, video, and call functionality has been awesome. The ease of setting up and integrating with other apps is seamless. Data consumption by the app is also at its barest minimum, helping to cut costs on the amount of data required to explore calls, video, or chat functionalities within the app.

I think the app is good enough, as I don't have any reason to comment negatively on it. The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first. This could offer some sense of security and prevent downloading corrupted files or viruses.A "preview attachment/document" would suffice as an improvement, this will allow users decide if the need to download an attachment or not

With respect to the stability, the app functions well, without glitches.

This is a very scalable solution.

Technical support for this solution has been very helpful.

I did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup is very easy and straightforward.

The vendor handled our implementation and did a professional job.

Our ROI is approximately 40%.

I have evaluated both Microsoft Teams and Skype.

This is a great app that has awesome functionality. A try will definitely be worth it.

I use Slack for team collaboration.

Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack.

When I share any file with my colleagues, that file remains in Slack storage even after I delete the message. I need to manually delete them one by one. It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files.

I have been using Slack for four years.

Slack is a stable solution.

I rate Slack ten out of ten for stability.

Around 20 users are using Slack in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.

I rate Slack an eight out of ten for scalability.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate Slack a seven out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

The solution’s pricing is cheap.

I use Slack on the cloud as a SaaS service. I recommend Slack for better conversations in a product team.

Overall, I rate Slack a nine out of ten.

I use the solution mainly for chat. I go on spontaneous calls with colleagues. We also have channels for specific topics or customers and share workspaces with partners. Some of our partners also use Slack. So, we use shared workspaces and channels, which is a very good way to stay in contact with them.

The product is easy to use. It provides an easy way to stay in contact with partners and create workspaces. We can exchange information, have discussions, and search for information. We create channels for technical topics. It is quite useful to find answers because others in the team might have the answers to our questions.

The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly. It might be due to an access issue in the company. It is quite annoying. Sometimes, we cannot copy a shared document, but it might be because of the settings.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The tool is super stable.

The tool is perfectly scalable. The whole company uses it. We have around 1000 users. My colleagues at IBM have an even larger installation that works quite well.

Our organization has multiple tools, like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex. I can choose the one I like. I chose Slack because it is easy to use, and the spontaneous communications and channels are very useful. I prefer Slack for chats, channels, and exchanges with partners, but I prefer Teams or Zoom for web meetings, training, and webinars.

The product is easy to set up. The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I recommend people to start using the solution. And make sure you use the status feature and synchronize it with Outlook, so that people can see when you are busy. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We are using Slack for web conferencing. It is primarily for external communication with one of our suppliers.

The most valuable feature is the screen sharing, which works well.

This solution is freely available to almost everyone.

The tracking, integration tool, and voice calls are all good.

The user interface is intuitive for me.

There should be better integration between Slack and Office 365.

It should be easier to work collaboratively on files.

I would like the text in chat to be more customizable.

I have been using Slack for a couple of months.

We have not experienced any problems with stability. We use it maybe once a week to contact one of our suppliers.

As a user, I have not had problems with scalability. I am part of a small group that makes use of slack but that doesn't mean that it isn't widely used in the company.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

We are using multiple web conferencing tools including Mircosoft Teams, Skype, and Slack.

I would say that the user interface in Slack is more intuitive than in Teams. One advantage to teams is that it is fully integrated into Office 365. I would say that collaborative working on files is better in teams. In our situation, the focus of Teams is internal, rather than with external partners.

Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it. It's easy to use and so far, it has been reliable.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We used Slack for all of our internal communications during the COVID pandemic.

The most valuable feature for me was the different channels. You can make categories and then jump between different channels and groups.

It is really easy to use.

Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice. It would be helpful if they added this feature in the future.

The addition of more chat features such as sending GIFs and emoticons would be an improvement.

We were using Slack for about three months.

The stability is good. It had never failed us.

It is widely used in our organization, although I cannot say how many users in total. In our department, there are 14,000 employees.

We were using Slack and then during the COVID pandemic, we switched to Zoom. Now, we have installed Microsoft Teams and are working with it.

I think it would be excellent if they combined Slack and Zoom.

The initial setup is easy. I had set something up wrong because I didn't make it private versus public, although I had not read anything about configuring it beforehand.

My understanding is that we were using the free version. 

My advice for anybody who is considering Slack is that it is a great tool. For us, it's difficult to talk with other departments, so this was the ideal solution. Overall, we really liked it, although it would have been nice to have videoconferencing support.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We mainly use Slack as a communication channel. Additionally, we use it for remote working and voice meetings through Slack Connect.

Using Slack has significantly improved our internal communications, helping avoid personal and work communications being mixed. With Slack, we have categorized channels that help in maintaining clarity in communication.

Slack's categorization of content and the availability of channels are highly valuable, as they keep communications organized. 

We also use Slack's features for brief ideation, sharing content onto Notion for comprehensive documentation. We are really satisfied with Slack, having used it since my first company for about five years.

Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience. While they are trying to integrate something like Notion, it doesn't work well, which is why we still use Notion for official documentation.

I have been using Slack for about five years.

Slack has been very reliable, with server issues occurring only once or twice a year.

We have never contacted Slack support since we haven't had any issues.

Positive

Before using Slack professionally, we used platforms like KakaoTalk, which mixed work and personal communications and lacked a clear system for organizing conversations.

The setup was straightforward as we simply use Slack as a communication channel.

The pricing is reasonable. While cheaper would be better, we are generally satisfied with the current pricing model.

Discord is more customizable than Slack but is also more complicated and suited more for casual or club environments rather than professional company use.

If your organization needs a fixed number of participants and an organized communication structure, Slack should be adopted instead of a messaging app. People who have used competitors like Microsoft Teams often prefer Slack. 

I rate Slack ten out of ten, as I've never considered replacing it.

I use the solution for communicating with all the teams. We can communicate with people from other countries.

The product is user-friendly. It is easy to use. The colors, the menu, and the sidebar on the interface are good. Push notifications work well on mobile devices. It is what I need. It is helpful and useful for me. I am happy with the video calls.

It is difficult to navigate the tool when I log in to two devices and start a video call. If I log in to two devices, I get logged out of video calls.

I have been using the solution for the last four months.

The product is stable.

Almost ten to fifteen people in my organization are using the solution. The product is scalable.

It is easy to set up the tool.

The solution is cheap in my country.

I have not used live streaming. I use the tool on both my desktop and on my mobile device. It works better than Trello. I would recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
