Any company's communication benefits from Slack
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Slack from other similar products?
Compared to our previous method of organizational management, Slack is light years ahead of the competition. Not only is the platform's interface a pleasure to work with, but it also allows all team members to be in constant contact with each other. Having a technology that allows us to set up channels when we want to, according to the project strategy we have in place, is wonderful for us.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Thanks to the platform's high level of communication, the management and organization of our team has greatly improved. The time and effort saved thanks to Slack's communication tools has allowed us to increase our productivity significantly. Our team is able to meet and make decisions about future strategy much more quickly, and everyone can focus on their own tasks more effectively.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The mobile version is not very reliable; for example, there have been times when I thought I had sent a message when it never actually went out, and it is very difficult to customize things from my profile.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Slack is an ideal platform for internal company communications. It helps users achieve their goals by connecting with customers faster than competing alternatives. Highly recommended for large and mid-sized companies.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy

Helpful for streamlined communication.

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?
Apart from communication , Slack allows for minor automation of tasks and day to day processes through its workflow builder feature. This enables my team work faster, and enhances our productivity at work.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The versatility and ease of use, appeals to me most. I can engage with colleagues on Slack through texting , file sharing , audio or video communication ( hurdles ).. Discussions on Slack are very organised too, a result of the CHANNEL feature, that allows discussions be organised based on topics, projects etc
What do you dislike most about this product?
I struggle to manage my notifications on Slack. A lot of the time , I have been overwhelmed by the amount of notifications I get on my Slack app. The notifications have sometimes been a source of distraction and most importantly, I have in the past, missed out on critical messages because they were lost in the midst of tens of other notifications. Slacks needs to come up with customisation options, that will enable me better manage my notifications.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
By consolidating files and messages in one platform,I am of the opinion that Slack helps to streamline communication.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
