Automation features and user-friendly interface support seamless communication
Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients. While working with the reimbursement feature, I found the automation capabilities on Slack to be incredibly useful, allowing me to automate messages for specific dates or times and even to greet someone on their birthday. I haven't specifically used the channel organization feature of Slack, as I am added to channels, but I use it with Airtable, which automates notifications to a specific Slack channel when a user fills out a form on our website. In my experience, Slack is a stable product for communication, and I appreciate its automation features and integration of AI capabilities for enhancing specific functions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Slack's stability is exceptional."
"Slack's categorization of content and the availability of channels are highly valuable, as they keep communications organized."
"Slack offers several valuable features. Firstly, they have a message deletion feature, which is now available in other software as well, but Slack was the one who introduced it in enterprise solutions."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
"Slack is a collaboration tool where you can create specific topic-related channels and manage different threads on different talks so people can interact and maintain a chat."
"We use thread-based communication. So that if a new person comes to look into a problem for a particular task, they can easily go and look into the particular thread it is discussed in."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"The solution is scalable."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"I would like the text in chat to be more customizable."
"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."
"Sometimes there are login issues."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
"The UI could be a little bit better."
"The reason is we are moving towards a new CRM, so we have a suitable solution to integrate with the new CRM."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"It is an affordable solution."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
