Slack Reviews & Product Details

Slack Overview
What is Slack?

Slack is the top choice for teams to communicate. It provides a virtual workspace that helps teams maintain open communication in a business environment. With Slack, users can host voice and video calls with up to 15 participants and even screen share with a desktop app, empowering better user interaction. Slack also supports options for private and group sessions, and one of its best features is Slack Huddles–an informal meeting space that lets you directly talk to your channel where you can share screen side by side with your team. The platform integrates well with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Trello as well.

"Experience with Slack"
What do you like best about Slack?

The ease of use, good communication features, the external integrations, the general application vibe

What do you dislike about Slack?

There is nothing I can think of about Slack that I don't like

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Slack allows immediate communication between the company users. It provides transparency about my co-workers and their association with the company. With it's channels and grouping features, it allows to organize based on any category as per the users needs. I particularly like the threads feature as it allows to have a continuous conversation around one topic while having another in the main chat without any confusion. The application also has fun elements by adding emojis and reactions and gif integrations and theme customizations. The integrations between multiple external applications allows to keep track on a lot of things under one umbrella.

To be able to stay connected when we are still working remote, and to stay in contact with folks who live in different states. I like how you can make private channels as well for smaller groups.

"Please stop using personal tools for work!!"
What do you like best about Slack?

Personally, the main reason for using Slack daily is that it keeps work related messages in a specific app that I can simply turn off when I'm not working. Thanks to its integrations, I can also automate the workflow and get notified of important events: receiving a new order, an email from a client, the due date for a project/task on Monday, etc. It truly does what it promises: it is a productivity platform.

What do you dislike about Slack?

Sometimes it is difficult to get team members to use Slack if they do not need the automations mostly because they wrongly go for the messaging apps. However, in the long terms, I guess most of them understand the benefits and the easy of use/implementation!

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Too tired of mixing personal and business messages in the same app. Slack helps me to keep work related messages in a specific place that I can simply turn off when I'm not working.

"I love using Slack for the corporate communication between colleagues!"
What do you like best about Slack?

I have an experience of using slack for more than 2 years in two different companies,therefore I love how easy and comprehensive it is. It gives me the possibility to communicate directly with the colleagues, creating different channels accordingly to discuss the specific topics. With that reason you cannot miss any of the chat/message in the thread. Being a Team Leader, It is extremely easy to integrate with the team members and discuss and make announcements to them in a proper way. Basically, we use Slack frequently, every day. The possibility to record voices, listen to the recording in different regimes and have calls if necessary is an advantage that many platforms do not have. Moreover, I always change statuses and can pause the notifications if needed, not to be disturbed.

What do you dislike about Slack?

Sometimes there are technical glitches and the notifications might not be visible for severa hours. However it appears after some period of time.

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a employee of an international company the communication problem is higlhy solved as I can have a direct dialogue with the colleagues not being afraid of the lack of communication with them. They always receive my notifications and are aware of all the announcements made by each other.

"Nothing can replace Slack for Professional Communication"
What do you like best about Slack?

It's the best app for communication within teams or agencies. It is simple and has all the integrations required for a business to operate. We use Slack on a daily basis

What do you dislike about Slack?

Nothing much, we have been using slack for more than 3-4 years now.

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Slack is our backbone for communication. If we had to do stuff without getting on a call, the chats are always through Slack. If there is a need for any more assistance, we use the huddle option to get on a call. The integrations with Google Workspace are notable and are used every day. The mobile app is also convenient. The days of communication via email is over now.

"A RELIABLE, EFFICIENT INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION TOOL"
What do you like best about Slack?

Slack has played a crucial role in connecting everyone in our organization, and I genuinely believe that. As a front-end developer, Slack has made it much simpler for me to collaborate with my team members, share ideas, and discuss the progress of our projects. This has greatly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our development process. Furthermore, Slack provides integration with various development tools, which allows me to receive notifications and updates directly within the platform. These tools can include version control systems, continuous integration tools, and project management platforms. On top of that, Slack is user-friendly and straightforward to use and implement, thanks to its well-designed interface. One standout feature is the powerful search function, which enables me to quickly find information or references within chat history, thereby saving time and aiding in problem-solving. Thanks to Slack, I can confidently say that my productivity in collaboration and efficiency has greatly increased, thanks to its capabilities and broad range of features.

What do you dislike about Slack?

As you begin using Slack, you may find the app disorderly and overwhelming, causing concern about potential information loss or overlooking important updates. The initial experience can appear chaotic. However, you can overcome these challenges by utilizing the app's customizable settings and seeking assistance from customer support. Additionally, as your team becomes familiar with how to optimize Slack for their requirements and with repeated usage, it becomes increasingly manageable..

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every day, we rely on this tool to work together with our team, sharing information about tasks, stories, and project details, as well as communicating in a formal or informal manner. Its system of channels allows me to stay organized by categorizing discussions based on project, task, or topic. This makes it effortless for both me and my team to find the information we need and participate in discussions related to our work.

"My slack review."
What do you like best about Slack?

Slack has many features that many people should like, it's collaborative features make work easier for us. Like sending draft messages and video recording with threads are good features. It is really easy to use and it's UI is also great. On pro plans we can integrate it with other apps too.

What do you dislike about Slack?

I don't dislike anything about Slack. It's doing well for almost everyone. I think should improve it's huddle features, like Google Meet looks better than huddle regarding live video rendering with internet speed.

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my small startup I am using Slack to do collaboration with my mate. It helps me to do it in a right way with instant messaging, message drafts, video messages and live huddles.

"Discord for Office Work"
What do you like best about Slack?

Slack is a very comfortable application, which allows the whole office to communicate quickly and easily. It has many integrations, making it even more useful since integrating sites like Monday.com or Google Calendar into Slack is a very nice thing to have. I use Slack every day to communicate with my colleagues at work. Having different channels for different topics makes navigation through information very easy. Overall, it makes communication between different rooms and even countries much easier to discuss work-related matters.

What do you dislike about Slack?

I cannot think of anything negative about Slack. It is a great tool for making office communication easier and more comfortable for co-workers. I can only say the pricing, which can be a bit too expensive for some.

What problems is Slack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to chat instantly to co-workers who are working in separate offices, rooms or even countries is a game-changer. Also, Slack lets you create different channels, meaning information is not lost and you do not have to scroll infinitely through unnecessary messages. It is a very comfortable tool for office work.
