Slack Business - Enterprise Reviews

We use Slack for communication, file sharing, meetings, text messages, etc. Slack has been so helpful for us.

Slack has made communication much easier in our company. I can text someone in the company or send a message. I can also have an audio call with a couple of team members on the go without needing to start setting up calls on Zoom or Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. I can have that voice or video call right away on Slack.

The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack. You can call someone on the go with the huddle feature and save the time of having to set up Zoom calls or Google Meet.

Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings. Users should get notifications or prompts regarding the meeting time so they can attend that meeting.

Sometimes, when Slack is down, there is a delay in messages being delivered. Such delays also need to be improved in Slack.

I have been using Slack for the past five years.

I rate Slack a six out of ten for stability.

I rate Slack a seven out of ten for scalability.

Slack’s initial setup was not difficult.

I use the latest version of Slack. Slack is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

I highly recommend Slack for teams that want to communicate and collaborate. Slack can integrate with other apps like Google Calendar and Loom for voice and video recording. I recommend Slack for teams that want to scale and collaborate.

Overall, I rate Slack a seven out of ten.

We use the tool to communicate with the design team, and exchange links, and code needs. I use it for collaborating with outside spaces. 

I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams. 

The tool is a bit slow. 

I have been using the product for six years. 

The product is a bit slow but stable. 

Slack is scalable. 

Teams is a Microsoft product and not free. You have to buy a 365 account and everyone cannot do that. Slack has a facility to avail free accounts. 

Slack's setup is easy. The product does not require any maintenance. 

There are no licensing costs associated with the solution. 

I would rate Slack a five out of ten. 

The product makes communication seamless. There are around 200 employees in my organization. If the HR personnel want to reach us, they use the channels to put up messages, posters, and banners for workplace events or blood donation drives. They use the channels whenever they want to spread information about anything.

Slack is a really good solution. We can see whether our colleagues are available or away. If we need to share any information within our team, we can create a channel and share the information. We can share technical and non-technical information like, HR information using the product. Information sharing is the feature I like the most. The product allows us to update our status to communicate whether we are away or out for lunch. We can also make notes to ourselves using the solution. It functions quite well.

The UI could be a little bit better.

I have been using the solution consistently for the last year.

The tool is stable. Many employees in the organization are happy to use the product.

The solution is scalable. As more and more people join the organization, they are able to use the tool.

The initial setup was easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I work from home. I do not use the on-premises product. If people use it consistently, they will understand how to use it and communicate with their teams properly. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for communication within our internal teams and with external organizations.

The solution is intuitive, easy to use, and has many essential features. Also, the notifications features for its mobile version work the best. In addition, we can set it up as per our preferences, which is helpful and advanced.

The solution's capabilities to provide security features for corporations could be better. Along with it, the mobile version's calls and sharing video features could be faster.

We have been using the solution for more than four years.

The solution's stability for the mobile version could be better as it freezes sometimes. At the same time, it works fine for the desktop version.

The solution is scalable. We have 150 users in our organization.

It is a good collaboration tool. It makes communication within our organization easier. Our Administrators can also lock down the channels for exchanging messages and use them as an announcement tool.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Slack for Team communication and also for channel alignment functionality. We also use the solution for monitoring. Meaning that we integrate it with other workloads that we have in the cloud, so that we can monitor. 

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. 

The solution should have less frequent updates. 

I have experience with Slack. 

It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. A few thousand users are using the solution presently. 

I did not have the need to contact the technical support team. 

I would recommend this solution because it has reliability of all the functionalities, the channel functionality, the visibility of the channel. And as I mentioned before, the use cases that we have with  reliable alerts and monitoring of different workloads. So for me, the solution is very easy to use from that perspective. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

Slack is our main source of collaboration and we use it for all internal messages.

The way groups are created on slack could be improved. Once you create a group of people, you can't add additional people unless you convert it to a channel.

I have used Slack for one year. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Slack is a really easy collaboration tool to use and many companies are adopting this popular tool. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

Our internal team primarily used Slack for communication with each other. If two or three people were working on the same modules then they were able to share code and work together.

The feature that I have found most valuable is communication between team members.

Customization is something that Slack is lacking. Otherwise, however, the user interface is very good.

We have been using slack for the past one and a half years.

Recalled that there were some bugs about a year ago. However, I don't recall the details or what they did to rectify the problem.

I have not personally been in contact with technical support. When we experienced the bugs about a year ago, my team may have been in contact with them. Ultimately, the problem was resolved.

We primarily use Slack and Microsoft Teams. We know of Confluence but do not use it much.

Slack is a better product than Teams. Teams is more like a chat window, rather than a development window. We were also having issues with Teams, initially, with the user interface when we were trying to create groups. We found that it was not that easy, or perhaps not convenient.

My company has been acquired so we are going to align our systems with our parent company. At this point, I am not sure if we will continue with Slack or instead move to another solution. I have suggested that we continue using the same tools, but at this point, I am not sure.

In my opinion, this is a good product and I recommend it. Slack is much better than Microsoft Teams.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use Slack primarily for communications. This includes communicating with individuals as well as grouping people into cells to work on specific parts of a project. We don't use the features beyond just the basic communicative side of it.

With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well.

It's very good for when you have a large number of people working within the team. It can be a challenge to ensure that people are working within the bounds of the project that they are assigned to, and Slack is effective for ensuring that happens.

I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels. I recall having to go through the application, then back to the web site, and then back to the application. I didn't really like that and this is something in the interface that should be improved. If it were possible or easier to create those working groups within the application, without being taken into a browser and working entirely within the software itself, that would be ideal.

I would like to see integration with collaborative tools, such as word processing software or programming environments and coding software, made clear, easy, and as broad as possible. It should handle simple products, all the way to complex ones. It should be easily embeddable inside a channel so that anyone can use it.

I think that changing the privileges to remove restrictions would help the users to adapt to the platform more easily, removing bottlenecks. Having to request access for particular users is time-consuming and it would be better if more people can do these things themselves.

I have been using slack since the beginning of 2019.

I have not noticed any bugs, glitches, or other issues with stability.

We have between 30 and 50 users.

A lot of the work that we're doing now ends up on Microsoft Teams. Whether I like it or not, it tends to marginalize and eventually push Slack out of the picture.

I found the initial setup to be straightforward. You can also bombard people with reminder messages that they should be joining a channel or discussion. In fact, I've had less trouble with slack than I've had with Teams.

From my perspective, this is a good product and I definitely recommend it. My advice for anybody who is implementing this type of product is to first consider what it is that they want to achieve, and then make the decision about which product to implement based on that. If you're trying to pick between platforms, like Teams versus Slack, I would recommend Slack for a variety of reasons. Even if you are using Teams already, I would suggest using Slack in addition because you can't go wrong.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
