Slack, Hangouts, there are a ton of messaging/social apps out there. Overall, I like to use Slack and Hangouts more as a messaging tool. However, when there are certain things that HAVE to get done within Salesforce, I can totally understand why Chatter would be important. When …

We were using Skype for business before, but Skype was mostly good at team communication and sharing activities/updates only. Since we started using Salesforce, we got the best option by using Chatter's added advantages. By using it we don't miss any action items. It's a …

Because Chatter is tied into our CRM I feel it is easier to use. Teams is better for instant answers and chats. Chatter is better for a data storage of ideas and answers. While they both have there advantages It is hard to say which is more valuable on their own.

Chatter is a solid tool within Salesforce. Slack has become more commonplace within our organization, but the fastest way to find out what is going on within an account or opportunity is to check the Chatter feed. I think there are different uses for each of the tools, but …

Slack utterly dominates chatter. Slack is searchable, has the use of channels. When you can sync it with Salesforce (there are multiple ways to automate alerts or notifications to be sent from Salesforce to Slack), it renders Chatter useless. Slack makes me never want to use …

Chatter is simply the most accessible, user-friendly, and convenient on the go platform we enjoy utilizing daily to help our company grow and boost overall revenue. Without the many features, Salesforce offers daily. We would be unable to capitalize on many lead and application …

We are using Chatter just because it is integrated with SFDC, and we use SFDC as our CRM. We use other communication tools as well. You can find communication tools in many applications and platforms, I recommend using the very specific ones, like Chatter, for only the teams …

There's a variety of communication tools available for selection out in the market place but I like the easy to navigate system of Chatter. I think there's a whole bunch of more features available in Chatter that I currently do not utilize but I think it's a good robust option.

Very similar but I'll give Chatter the advantage because of the different areas and notifications that come with it.

We also use Teams. Chatter is very helpful in that I can directly tag any object in our CRM. Instead of taking email requests for admin needs, I have added a Chatter process builder that helps me manage requests. If the case calls for a report to be made, I am able to tag the …

We have also tried to use Slack and Service Now. Service Now simply did not have the features we needed. Slack was useful but not nearly as good for the end users who simply want very simple. Slack confused the end user which caused them frustration, which also meant they did …

It is tough because there are several applications that allow for internal communication among teams. Chatter, however, is the only one that's native to Salesforce and allows for all communication to be attached to their respective artifacts. We use Slack in addition to Chatter …

Not much differential between these services. Better off integrating with more popular solutions via API.

I personally like Google Hangouts more due to the flow of conversations. I find it a much more efficient way to speak back and forth with work colleagues, other than face-to-face of course. But, as a manager I could see how Chatter would be useful to use when managing pipeline.

Chatter was within Salesforce already, so we simply went with it because it's attached and integrated well within Salesforce and Google Drive and Gmail.

Chatter is much more basic than other solutions, mainly, because it is not the core product for Salesforce. It is great for basic communication needs, but if you are looking for a much more robust solution then I would recommend using an application that is more focused on …

Cons
  • As an admin I would like to make it so that all users receive notifications, to help implement it into their daily practice.
  • If Chatter license users could have a bit more access to view reports, that could be utilized more by us.

Chatter can fulfill at least 85-90% of our business requirements in an easy-to-use platform. Usability is a key requirement and we have had our share of bad usability experiences. In our experience, even the most novice users were able to pick up Chatter in a relatively short amount of time with little/no assistance.

Usability
It is easy to use but the impact of it feels like it is a bit antiquated. It does not feel collaborative and real time. Chatter is more akin to email versus Slack or Hangouts where it feels like problems are being solved as you are communicating.

I haven't had to use support often, but when I have Salesforce was very responsive. Like with all things Salesforce, it is easy to use and doesn't have too many issues, so I don't think that people will have to use support often, but if so, they are easy to work with and helpful within the product.

Return on Investment
  • This has had a very positive impact when it comes to verifying if proper communication has been had among teams. This helps us know when and what people have been informed of, which gives us the opportunity to regularly review our communication styles.
  • This has had a very positive impact when trying to find particular individuals in a very large company, and without any barriers.
  • This also provides a 'get networking' tool for new and existing individuals to the company, helping people gain influence and awareness among their stakeholders.
