The speed of opening files and folders is too slow and can be very frustrating
It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces. It's just cumbersome because the files and folders take a while to open. So that's the only issue I have. The rest of the solution is relatively user friendly. The deployment is relatively fast. From creating a brand new workspace to actually using it can be done within a day, depending on how complex it is. I know within our organization they are basically forcing us now to move away from our servers to Vibe. That started in July and there has been a significant change over to Vibe. So it's still new but for a big organization like ours, it's actually impressive how quickly people moved over to Vibe. We did the installation and deployment ourselves and, as an end user, it's been relatively user friendly. It doesn't take long to get familiar with the program, and if you know how it works, it becomes relatively easy to set up a workspace and save documents and edit it.

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

"Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required."
"What I like most about this solution, is the fact that I can access it anywhere and customize it to my needs."
"HTML and JSP elements are the most valuable features."
"The features that I found most useful were being able to see who made changes to a document, where the document was in the chain of command, and being able to leave comments to make the process more collaborative."
"There were no stability issues; it just works."
"We were able to centralize all customer data: files, discussions and technical notes."
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"Slack has helped to increase the productivity of my teams and organization."
"Slack's stability is exceptional."
"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"It has improved my company by letting our team work efficiently together and quickly."
"It is easy to set up."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there."
"I think Slack is a very creative application to help unify communication across all team sizes."
 

Cons

"The following issues need some attention: better integration with MS Office suite, more flexibility in customizing the colors and themes, custom forms and workflows are powerful, but the interface needs revamping to be easier to work with."
"The end user experience could be improved; some functions are a little too complicated for the average user."
"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"You have to press the BACK button at least three times till it will go back to the previous page. This is something that must be improved."
"One thing that really needs to improve, is opening files or folders. It takes much longer than when you are getting it to Windows Explorer on the desktop."
"While we were working on implementing this product, the entire system crashed and we had to reinstall it from a previous version."
"The user interface can be changed to 'look' more like a Microsoft one since this will help market the product more."
"Everything has room for improvement, so I think Slack could add additional features without making the solution slower or more difficult to use."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"According to my observation, a large size file sharing feature is what can be expected, which will centralize all activities within Slack and that can save a lot of time."
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"I haven't experienced any noticeable return on investment since starting with Slack."
"The excessive notifications and distracting nature keeps it from being a perfect solution for me."
"Their notifications are generally not very prompt. There is a problem with their notification engine, and sometimes, I end up pressing on notifications."
"It would be highly advantageous if it could incorporate calendar information from sources like Outlook or Gmail, providing users not only with meeting schedules but also a comprehensive daily agenda view."
