Video meetings and presentation sharing impress but user-friendliness and pricing need attention
I don't have experience with how Avaya Spaces handles integration with other software tools, but perhaps my partners have experience regarding integration with different vendors. If Avaya can integrate Spaces with other media solutions, such as WhatsApp or WeChat, it will be more friendly and useful for customers or partners.

Threaded collaboration has transformed how our team tracks tickets and monitors automation updates
One suggestion I would make for improving Slack Business - Enterprise is the support of multimedia such as images and videos that we can easily share through Slack. That would be great. Additionally, another thing is AI integration; if Slack has some AI capabilities to get insights about conversations or summarization, that would be a great feature. If Slack has an AI feature that can summarize a particular Slack thread and provide a summary of that, that would be a great feature for us. I would rate it a ten if it comes with some AI features, particularly using generative AI to produce summarization and other kinds of insights from communication in a more secure, data-secure way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"Stability for Avaya Spaces is quite good, and I would rate it a 9."
"The most valuable features of Slack are basic chatting, file sharing, and screen sharing."
"Mac version built into Safari has a lot of informative space and allows for custom CSS (right click > inspect elements) if you want it more personal and/or something puts you off in the standard settings."
"Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack."
"The product has the ability to scale."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the search functionality, which I can use to search for full text."
"Process made easy Collaboration between teams increased Productivity is now largely increased: top."
"Slack makes it easy for employees to contact each other and exchange documents or information."
"Slack makes it easy for employees to contact each other and exchange documents or information."
 

Cons

"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."
"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first."
"Readability. It's disputed but HipChat is winning this battle due to the larger reading screen space."
"Now I have set it to start automatically, but before that when I was launching manually, there was a strange way to log in, not like just clicking on an icon and being instantly locked."
"Everything has room for improvement, so I think Slack could add additional features without making the solution slower or more difficult to use."
"Sometimes Slack behaves unexpectedly and shuts down without notification or support communication."
"I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
"I would like the in-meeting content sharing facility to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"It is an affordable solution."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
