Slack comes with huge advantage for communication.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Slack from other similar products?
In my opinion, I think the learn curve to sit down and start sending or receiving messages is a matter of a few minutes sets Slack apart. While learning to use more advanced features on Slack takes a while longer , being able to pick up on Slack quickly is an aspect where I believe Slack does have an advantage over similar messaging software products.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love how completely searchable my experience with Slack has become. I am able to find specific messages from my past Slack interactions , regardless of whether they are from days , weeks or months ago, This has enabled me to locate important conversations from my search history in seconds with ease.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Although virtual audio/video based interaction is possible with Slack Huddles, it is still steps behind what is obtainable on standard video conferencing products like Zoom. For my company, this has necessitated us to use Slack in integration with a standard video conferencing software , especially for large sized participant conversations.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Slack provides speed based business messaging , which I believe should be an integral part of efficient communication within most modern business environment. This is the reason why I recommend Slack.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing

Complete functionality and Integration.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Slack from other similar products?
It is easy to use and best of all the customer support is very knowledgeable and cooperative, Also the navigation through the app is smooth.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like its easy to use ,complete functionality and the ability to integrate with other applications. The real time messaging aspect of the platform, the organization of channels and the ability to share files, turns it into a must have tool in any working teamwork. The ability to integrate with so many third party applications as found with the app director of slack increases its versatility.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The issue of information overload because this occurs when there are numerous channels particularly in large teams. Moreover there have been some complains with the application like slow response time and poor connectivity.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It would be good step to come up with advance thread director as some people tend to forget threat the threads existed or there are threads but they are not well managed like issue in organization.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Inspires Innovation
- Respectful
