Contextualized collaboration on records allows you to have historical conversations that are accessible by other users.
Chatter is a great way to connect your users, especially if your team is working in multiple time zones or locations. If you're struggling with why to use collaboration tools at all, I'd suggest you watch this video. One the best examples that I've seen is a property team who were managing the entire process from leasing properties with branding to shop merges via Salesforce. All of their notifications were email-based and they were getting 100s per day. By moving these alerts to automated posts into particular groups, the users could not only access multiple updates by using digests instead of per alert, but also choose to control who (group members) and how often they get those alerts.

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

"It is now possible to share information instantly with all the company without sending emails, but also looking for a topic using the search function."
"Salesforce being the number one cloud-based CRM product, I think one can recommend it in the first go."
"The conversation function to engage different groups is the most valuable feature."
"It helped us to strengthen our digital community all over the world with a dedicated group to share project information and best practices."
"It offers more than what you are looking for, for example, file sharing and "mentions"."
"I love the streaming feed of information from the people that I'm following that encourages collaboration at a business level."
"Salesforce Chatter allows for contextualized collaboration on records that allows you to have historical conversations, which are easily accessible by other users."
"We are given an overview of our system status, and we are able to respond quickly to infrastructure events, marketing events, customer service events, etc."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Slack is a very collaborative tool that makes it easier for me to communicate with the onboarding and billing teams."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"What I find valuable in Slack is that the interface is very attractive and it's easy for any new person to adapt to."
"It is a great product and the mobile app is a big plus."
"Slack offers the ability to make customizable applications and plugins."
"The product has the ability to scale."
 

Cons

"The storage of documents was quite limited when we used the tool."
"I wish an organization could create a company-wide Chatter that automatically follows everyone else in the company so that widespread access was guaranteed."
"Chatter invites should be possible from the UI on opportunity records."
"We would not select them again."
"Live consumption of the communication needs to be improved so that it can offer more features similar to Twitter/Slack, such as a live rolling news feed, notification bells (to avoid email alerts), ability to share multiple files or actions in one post, etc."
"I would rate the technical support a 7/10 because Salesforce has its own way of looking at technical issues and sometimes takes its own time to implement or release changes as per their convenience."
"The notifications on the phone are delayed."
"Sometimes there are login issues."
"In Slack, there are areas for accessibility improvements."
"The excessive notifications and distracting nature keeps it from being a perfect solution for me."
"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."
"I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner."
"The reason is we are moving towards a new CRM, so we have a suitable solution to integrate with the new CRM."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"It is an affordable solution."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
