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

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"It has become easier to use than Teams, which is the main benefit of Slack Business - Enterprise; it is simple and connected."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The product has the ability to scale."
"Nowadays, we don't need to visit an HR portal. Our marketing and human resources teams directly share details about birthdays, upcoming events, and important dates in Slack. Whether it's a training event, a company-wide gathering, or a social event, all the information is shared there. This keeps us all updated."
"The most valuable feature is that we can easily integrate different workloads and the alerts are reliable. Also because it allows us to use it as a monitoring tool sometimes."
"Slack Business - Enterprise is beneficial for us primarily because the API was very beneficial, and that is the main one; the second benefit would probably be the upgrades they do, including integrating some AI and allowing customization of chats in categories."
"Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients."
"We use thread-based communication. So that if a new person comes to look into a problem for a particular task, they can easily go and look into the particular thread it is discussed in."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"Slack's screen sharing might also add the remote control feature, which is not there."
"The solution’s initial setup is not very easy."
"Sometimes Slack behaves unexpectedly and shuts down without notification or support communication."
"The tool is a bit slow."
"Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."

"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
