A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…
Awais Mehmood - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation features and user-friendly interface support seamless communication
Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients. While working with the reimbursement feature, I found the automation capabilities on Slack to be incredibly useful, allowing me to automate messages for specific dates or times and even to greet someone on their birthday. I haven't specifically used the channel organization feature of Slack, as I am added to channels, but I use it with Airtable, which automates notifications to a specific Slack channel when a user fills out a form on our website. In my experience, Slack is a stable product for communication, and I appreciate its automation features and integration of AI capabilities for enhancing specific functions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"Stability for Avaya Spaces is quite good, and I would rate it a 9."
"Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams."
"Slack's stability is exceptional."
"One thing I like about Slack is the ability to change the color of Slack. It depends on my mood. When I'm having a bright day, I just change the background color of my Slack, which is nice."
"Its integration with different apps is a great feature."
"Slack is a very collaborative tool that makes it easier for me to communicate with the onboarding and billing teams."
"The solution is scalable."
"Slack is a really easy collaboration tool to use and many companies are adopting this popular tool."
"Slack offers the ability to make customizable applications and plugins."
 

Cons

"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"The initial setup for Avaya Spaces is very good for me, but for sharing with other users, the setup is a little bit complex compared to other solutions I have used, such as Zoom or Teams, as the installation is more complex."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"We’d like it to have more capability for everyone to work on one doc in real time all at once."
"The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"The product should provide integration with other solutions like Gmail or Outlook."
"I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner."
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"From my perspective, a disadvantage of Slack compared to Teams is that connecting between the apps can be a bit difficult."
"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive. Configuring chats and pinning in Teams is easier, even though Slack has these features, they are not intuitive enough to engage with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The pricing can range up to about twenty bucks a user. You can spend a lot of money, especially if you're talking about thousands of users. Generally speaking, Slack is less expensive than Teams. Slack doesn't include all the bells and whistles that Teams does. So you can go from a $6 license in Microsoft 365 to a $50 license per user per month, and there's a lot more you can do in the $50 license."
