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 offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the search functionality, which I can use to search for full text."
"The portal is at its best version now."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
"Its integration with different apps is a great feature."
"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."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The product should provide integration with other solutions like Gmail or Outlook."
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"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."
"The UI could be a little bit better."
"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"Sometimes, the servers are not available."
"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"Slack is not the cheapest solution, but that's okay."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"It is an affordable solution."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
