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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initially I thought it cannot be better than Skype, but after working with it for a while I can definitely confirm it is a great tool for collaboration."
"The solution has a great user interface and functionalities. It has good features that we can use. We can integrate any third-party application with Slack so that it provides you with insights and updates in real-time on Slack itself."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
"Slack kept several remote employees working cohesively and seamlessly together, allowing us to more easily synchronize our efforts and work collaboratively rather than islands unto ourselves, so to speak."
"Slack provides very fast communication."
"It is easy to set up."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is good; it is one of the best ones out there, and when you're partnering with teams outside your organization, you can't really do without Slack because it becomes a necessity."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"It is good, it works, it is reasonably easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that anyone can post anything, it's free and people can do it on their own without having to translate to publish, and it's really easy to use."
"Co-workers feel comfortable creating groups for collaboration, communication, and non-work related, personable groups."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"Productivity can be increased as colleagues from across the world share their knowledge and experiences, reducing the need to create deliverables that may have been previously created."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
"External collaboration with partners: There is a unified way to send updates about departments and the enterprise, rather than sending separate communications."
 

Cons

"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"Threaded discussion needs improving."
"The product is stable, but you need an online connection."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
"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."
"Everything has room for improvement, so I think Slack could add additional features without making the solution slower or more difficult to use."
"Tried to find information about advance settings for notifications, but did not find what I was looking for."
"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."
"Ability to edit posts and also rich text would be good. Currently, unlike other social tools like Facebook at Work and Chatter, Yammer does not have the ability to edit posts."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"With the release of teams and groups, Yammer is losing its purpose slightly."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"Yammer can improve the effectiveness of its usage by addressing the metrics that measure user trust and perception."
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"Yammer is not as feature rich as the most mature offering in this space, Jive, however it makes up for this with strikingly intuitive ease of use and a much lower cost."
"It should have integration with multiple third-party platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"The pricing is not bad."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
