Best solution for team communication!
Slack is pivotal in our company's communication ecosystem. It's the go-to platform for inter-team dialogues, cross-departmental collaborations, and one-on-one exchanges. Given our remote-first policy, Slack serves as our virtual office, enabling interaction regardless of geographical boundaries, and promoting a well-connected and productive work environment, across many different time zones and teams.
I use Slack every minute of every day for instant communication and collaboration with colleagues and teammates! Slack has revolutionized the way in which I run my book of business and work with the broader organization. It's integrations with systems, such as Google, Workday, WorkRamp, etc, also allows me to stay in communication with my calendar, training requirements, and general business activities in a way that was never possible before Slack.

Best tool for messages
Slack is the official tool that my whole company uses for messages. It's used daily for all the communications and between all the teams. Before Slack, the company used to have Telegram, which was also used for personal matters. With Slack, the employees were able to separate their personal and professional lives and get more work-life balance. It's the fourth company that I work in that uses Slack, and for me, it's the best system to make communication faster and easier. Not only direct messages with specific people, but the channels are also very useful for internal communication, warnings, and notices for the entire company.

Slack has been very helpful in improving my productivity
We are a remote team and we have clients across the globe and Slack plays a very crucial role in establishing the communications internally and with our clients.
We use Slack for ad-hoc communications, we huddle atleast 3-4 times in a day for quicker and detailed meetings. Slack has been very helpful in the last 3 years of my remote work life in maintaining the communications flowing. I use notes feature a lot to save important information accessible to everyone in the channel.

Internal communication between the teams seems to be cumbersome previously as we were relayed on the old legacy chat communication model from the google product and doesn't help us any way in terms of the feature and lead to manual intervention a lot. Our management felt it would be great if we have an all in one solution to resolved different issues so they cam across this special tool that helps us making the collaboration easier and communication between the teams made easy with this there by reducing effort and time. We use Slack for our every day communication and any major incidents like war room that connect people from different space to join and collaborate about the issue in a real-time manner

We use Slack and an internal project communication tool for software development. It is also very hand to attach files, links and also integrate with third party software's like jira with Slack. The software is flawless and helps us in smoothly carrying out our day-to-day project management, monitoring, team communication, and tracking activities. Multiple projects can be tracked and managed in Slack simultaneously.

Slack - Communication and Collaboration Excellence
I use Slack everyday. it is the primary tool for communication and collaboration between all my team members and the entire organisation. Slack is the most essential tool to get my job done. It helps me connect with anyone in the organisation. I also get alerts on Slack such as when files have been shared with me, calendar alerts, and alerts where Slack had been integrated with internal tools.

As an administrative assistant, it is very crucial to communicate with my teammates daily and receive the answers quickly. Slack is very helpful in this matter, because it has the features to have different channels and have them with different themes. option of the voice recording is quite helpful, as it simplifies the information sharing.
I am using Slack for my daily professional communications and integrations with my apps like Google Docs and Loom Video. I like how it can make channels for each project/task and you can discuss all the details of that specific topic there. I also like the integration of my Project Management software "Trello", because it can tell me about the updates happening in Trello and I can update that cards back by staying in Slack.

Good tool, but lacking a calendar function is a weakness
Communication tool for the whole company - DM each other, create channels, receive company-wide communications, integrate with software like Zoom and Outlook

Slack is the top app!!
Our entire team is remote. We are a growing franchise with over 60 locations. Our corporate team and all of our growing locations use the platform. Slack makes it feel like we are all in one big office sitting at the table together. We use it for announcements, quick huddles, daily communication, reminders, canvasses, i think we use it for everything under the umbrella of communication.

Slack easy and useful
We use Slack with channel to set specific scope discussions on products, teams and direct chat communications among the employees. It is easy to use and useful to create public and or private channel among colleagues or with customers.
The use of huddle for a voice call and video sharing is very useful.

Great tool for teams who work remote, helps us collaborate well and being cloud based means this is great for in person meetings at the office, as well as on the go from your phone or iPad.

I wanted to share my positive experience with implementing Slack at work. It has truly been a game-changer for our inter-office communications. Slack has proven to be an excellent tool for connecting with the rest of the team. I find it incredibly user-friendly and efficient, making work easier and more productive. My overall experience with Slack has been fantastic. The platform is intuitive, making team communication seamless and enjoyable. I appreciate how Slack simplifies communication, keeps everything organized, and ensures everyone stays connected. It has become our go-to tool for fostering smooth and enjoyable teamwork. The only problems ( not really problems ) was the initial setup and internal onboarding.

Communicating and reaching out to Teams and sharing information with everyone. Also, using this to track and find information is really helpful for me as a subject matter expert. This can also help us cascade important reports and announcements. It also helps us to communicate with each other and to support my colleagues.

First Choice For Reliable Company Chat
Such a great tool for company communications. Easy to keep overview of everything thats happening, easy to collaborate on projects while working from home.
Slack allows you to create channels for departments and topucs and giving everyone granular access. It's even possible to workw ith externals by giving them guest access to specific channels, or to collaborate with different Sack teams outside of your organisation, simply by linking channels.

Slack allows us to thrive.
We're a portfolio business similar to an agency model. Slack Connect allows us to bring our portfolio companies into dedicated channels and manage communication and access for our suppliers as well. I'm not sure we could thrive without it.

Very effective communication tool with robust features
We use Slack almost entirely for internal and some client communication. These days, we use it more than we use email. It makes communication swift, simple, and organized. The search feature and thread capability are especially helpful for me. The thread feature helps ensure that people can have eyes on each other's conversations in case there's something that would be relevant to them, but it also keeps the chat from getting too busy.
We have numerous different channels for different functions at the company (marketing, creative, sales, general chat, random). It's a great way to connect with people in other departments, which can be particularly nice in an entirely remote company.

Near perfection
As a remote company, Slack is our central hub for communication, where we collaborate on tasks and projects as well as day to day work.
We call each other through Slack, share updates in main channels and use the group chat functionality to ensure we're all on the same page as to where we are on a day-to-day basis.
In short, Slack allows us to function as a remote company in the same way we would in an office.
