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…

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

"Slack helps us keep the conversation focused and avoid multiple threads that create more confusion. I would say that has been the biggest advantage for us."
"The portal is at its best version now."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"Slack is a collaboration tool where you can create specific topic-related channels and manage different threads on different talks so people can interact and maintain a chat."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"It's valuable for announcements and communicating between team members."
 

Cons

"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"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."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
"I think Slack could add additional features without making the solution slower or more difficult to use."
"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."
"I haven't experienced any noticeable return on investment since starting with Slack."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"The solution should have less frequent updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"The solution is expensive."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It is an affordable solution."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
