A competitive solution that improves collaboration and productivity
Slack has been around for a long time, and it's an industry leader. Of course, Salesforce owns Slack now and is starting to integrate into it. I have attended Slack conferences and met with product and support managers. They're an excellent organization. Choosing Slack depends on the organization's size, so you need to plan your deployment and make sure you put some controls and standards in place and not just turn it on. If you're a Slack shop, you will have to have something like a Zoom or Microsoft Teams platform for when you need to do video conferencing internally or externally. Many shops have both products, but they use Slack for collaboration, chat, and so on, and use Teams for video and audio conferences. At the end of the day, Slack is missing those capabilities, so either you're going to be a Slack/Zoom shop or you're going to be a Microsoft Teams shop. I rate Slack an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows to facilitate communication, allowing us to create channels for updates, file sharing, and photo sharing within our team profiles."
"The most valuable feature for me was the different channels."
"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"One thing I like about Slack is the ability to change the color of Slack. It depends on my mood. When I'm having a bright day, I just change the background color of my Slack, which is nice."
"The product makes communication seamless."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"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."
"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 works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The UI could be a little bit better."
"Notifications are not as good as they could be (especially for mobile)."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive. Configuring chats and pinning in Teams is easier, even though Slack has these features, they are not intuitive enough to engage with."
"Its capabilities to provide security features could be better for corporations."
"Slack's screen sharing might also add the remote control feature, which is not there."
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"It is an affordable solution."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"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."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
