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

"The portal is at its best version now."
"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."
"What I find valuable in Slack is that the interface is very attractive and it's easy for any new person to adapt to."
"The huddle feature is valuable to me."
"I think Slack is a very creative application to help unify communication across all team sizes."
"In my opinion, the integrations feature is the most powerful feature because some issues are of immediate priority and we want to get the notification promptly, and through the Jira plug-in, we are getting those."
"Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there."
"The quick line of communication, most certainly improves the functionality of our organization."
"It was reasonably good at creating online communities of interest."
"The posting features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach all parts of the organisation to share ideas and best practices."
"This product is very easy to use, and has been widely and easily adopted."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"In terms of drawbacks or areas for improvement in Slack Business - Enterprise, maybe some small things could be better, such as coloring text; if the API could support HTML, that would be great, but I think there are reasons why they do not support HTML."
"The product is stable, but you need an online connection."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"I'd like the ability to re-organize the channels in my list. You can favorite a channel but you can't organize them in a specific order that fits your everyday use."
"There are a lot of integrations and custom integrations available, but I believe there are opportunities to make those integrations much easier and faster, particularly for business or non-technical people."
"Notifications are not as good as they could be (especially for mobile)."
"Now I have set it to start automatically, but before that when I was launching manually, there was a strange way to log in, not like just clicking on an icon and being instantly locked."
"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"I think that improvements could be seen in the delayed messaging, but other than, it's great!"
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"I faced some issues with Yammer's mobile app when I shifted from Android to iPhone, and it got a little bit tricky to use it on an iPhone, which took away some of my time."
"I would say the whole experience was negative, so that is why we stopped using it."
"There needs to be access to a channel, without the need to sign-in."
"It needs more support for third-party apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

Yammer vs. SP Social in 2013
There are several discussions on SharePoint’s social strategy going on at the moment. I had some great discussions with my MVP mate Adis during Summit last week.
