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

"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"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."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"When we work with a platform like Slack, we can have one source without merging different document versions."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"The interface looks better to me, it is more easy to use, and everything is working okay for our purposes."
"Slack is a very collaborative tool that makes it easier for me to communicate with the onboarding and billing teams."
"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."
"The solution makes it easy to create groups, share documents, and communicate."
"Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams."
"It's valuable for announcements and communicating between team members."
 

Cons

"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Better ways to help people get up to date when away from a conversation for a long time, or after bursts of a particular discussion."
"Many of the advanced features and integrations are built with developers in mind. More functionality and integration for other use cases would be welcome."
"We could see improvement in Slack by having an integrated meeting tool. Currently, we rely on third-party integration tools like Zoom to schedule meetings. It would be much more convenient to schedule meetings directly within Slack without additional integrations. It needs to have calendar and CRM integrations as well."
"When showing screens during calls, the screen sharing functionality is not as smooth as Google's offering. It appears to be designed for short calls, which limits its effectiveness for longer sessions."
"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."
"Honestly, I feel like I am nitpicking when I say the UX can be improved."
"In Slack, there are areas for accessibility improvements."
