Slack

It's super fast and easy to use. You can easily create multiple channels to communicate for different purposes.

Nothing really. I really like everything about Slack! The only thing is that sometimes I don't receive notifications from group channels on my mobile app but maybe it's because of my phone.

Great tool in terms of feature and pricing! If you need a tool to start communicating within the company I would definitely recommend it!

Slack has revolutionized the way we communicate and collaborate. Its intuitive design, seamless integrations, and real-time capabilities have made it an indispensable tool for our team. Despite minor challenges with notifications, the overall experience is a solid 5/5. If streamlined communication and collaboration are your goals, Slack is the answer.

While customization options exist, managing notifications can be a bit overwhelming at times. Striking the right balance between staying informed and avoiding notification fatigue takes some tweaking.

Slack has become the heartbeat of our team, and it's hard to imagine our workflow without it. From direct messages to channels, everything is organized in a way that just makes sense.The wide range of integrations allows us to centralize our tools, from project management to file sharing, creating a unified workspace.

Slack is great for communication and team collaboration. It has good usability. It allows creating different channels to manage the workspace. It is good for instant messages and file sharing. Integration of other applications is also a standpoint of Slack. It also offers audio and video conferences that really makes my life easier.

Cloud storage has some room to be improved. When I was using the basic plan, I had difficulty accessing old files.

Overall, Slack is excellent. We have stopped using Skype and other instant messaging software in the office as Slack provides the best service. We are very happy.

Slack's pairing of a simple chat platform with robust integration and automation capabilities makes it a great tool for facilitating effective and collaborative office communication. While I primarily use it for one-off messages and quick chats, it also works well for more in depth, formal messages as well as personal reminders and notes. The mobile app makes working remotely a lot more convenient as well, as I'm more available to quickly respond to requests without having to go through the tedious process of checking and drafting lengthly emails.

Slack's casual nature can be a double-edged sword, as it tends to lend itself towards the breaking down of office barriers for both the good (chats can more direct and convival than stuffy corporate emails) and the bad (off-hours messaging lengthen the workday and social chats can provide too much distraction during work hours). This problem can be especially apparent with the app, as employees and colleagues can be considered "always on" and available. Additionally

I use Slack daily in my office at a news video distribution company and evaluated it as a member of the Testimoniacs community, and overall it has proven to be a fantastic tool for bridging the gap between email and the scattered ecosystem of chat apps out there. Their integrations help expand workplace collaboration, both socially (Giphy) and professionally (Google Drive), and can enable employees to optimize their own communications workflow while removing the clunkiness and exclusivity of communication often associated with email chains. Highly recommended for teams of any size!

Slack is an instant messaging software as a service for teams. It's free to use it forever with quality value offered in their basic plan and upgrades are very affordable too and provide a lot of useful functionality. Pricing is very reasonable. You can get Google Apps integration which is great for businesses currently at $8 per user, per month. Though you can still utilize ten integrations with your free account which is tremendous value they're providing. Features like keyboard shortcuts and auto completion make the messaging functionality versatile and more productive which is good. The extensibility of Slack is awesome. There are over one hundred apps available to install instantly inside your account and it's very easy to do including a basic version of GoToMeeting with video. There are a lot of other video apps too. Apps for fun, security, productivity, project management, accounting, marketing, office management, design, HR, customer support, analytics and more. I'm very impressed with the versatility of this team messaging system and can see now why it is so popular with this much flexibility basically built into the solution. You can use a mobile Slack app which is very similar to the online version. There's a cool little snooze feature that lets you notify others that you're taking a break. The user interface itself is super simple and intuitive to use. It couldn't be any easier to use a software in my experience. And the automated wizard tutorial option when first entering your account gives you everything you need to know easily, and points out the main three steps. The ability to play Youtube videos or audio tracks or basically any media you can utilize online is a cool feature. The search function is good in Slack in that you can search by query with canonicalization. The emoji feature while limited in conveying sincerity enable a sort of imagery that helps make your words more meaningful and you get the whole set in Slack. You can also import a chat history from a few of their competitors which is a feature that differentiates Slack. I like that you can enable or disable notifications for individual channel too.

Considering you can utilize free apps which essentially do the same thing as Slack like Google Chats, the viability when upgrading to a paid subscription is not most relevant in it's core functionality though it is very good and retained intact, but for the further integrations possible which make having Slack as a core operational setup that is customized and unique. While streamlined in your workflow by using a common third party service access portal.

Overall, I highly recommend Slack for it's core functionality, price point and extensibility. With so many powerful and varied apps to utilize inside of Slack the price point is justified in your ability to have one central location when accessing multiple software integrations. And with the communication functionality of the Slack instant messaging at the core, you can create a highly customized business software with no coding for free. With paid subscriptions very reasonable beyond the free forever plan based on the massive ROI made possible by your ultimate customized business tool available with a central Slack account.
