Discord and Slack have some very similar features. While Slack feels a bit more professional, Discord allows for the addition of voice chat rooms. While Discord feels a bit younger and more unprofessional, it's a great program for engaging with students and young people. Where S…
Previously, we all used Slack. However, Slack is expensive. It doesn't keep message history and you don't have the freedom Discord offers. I can use the same account for business and personal life without worrying about privacy concerns that I had with Slack (account owners …
The feature set of the chat capability in GoToMeeting is quite limited, fine for basic communication but not much else.
Discord is a fine tool for online communities, but the lack of control over the data and environment makes it a less than ideal business tool (if something is …
Slack has a more intuitive interface than Discord. Comparing with Microsoft Teams have more options to integrate with other apps and have more features to maintain all the communications organized. You can share many types of data in different ways for each of them, is not …
I think Discord is a better product in general - it allows for additionally functionally with bots BUT it does not have the integration with outside systems like google that Slack has. Slack also has a better search system where I think it just indexes previous conversations …
We got slack primarily because it is more professional and especially geared towards work collaboration. Opposed to this, I think Discord is better suited for personal communications. Slack offers more options in sending documents and projects than Discord. Also, it is easy to …

Chose Slack
Discord feels like Slack's little brother. It's just less professional. Slack seems to be the go-to for professional, quick messaging communication. Discord can become messy and get out of hand. Slack always feels clean and polished. If given a choice, I wouldn't move to Discord…
Teams can be an excellent tool if the whole organization is structured around Microsoft products—e.g. OneDrive, 365 Accounts, Outlook, Office Suite, etc—as it provides a fully centralized integration of everything within MS. But as a standalone chat/communications application, …
Discord had most of the same features that we wanted to use, and worked pretty well for most of our use cases. Unfortunately, it was glitchy and just not as refined as Slack. Plus outside organizations that we want to connect with often weren't on Discord, so we had to keep …
Slack is great for communicating with our remote team across the country. It keeps our teams connected when working on multiple projects and initiatives. Slack has more connectivity options than Google Meet, making it a valuable tool. Since we use other products, integration is …

I've use Discord but find it hard to learn and complicated
Slack is the first level of organization after Whatsapp/Telegram groups for teams. Slack is easier to adapt but more feature-limited and also more expensive than Discord. Slack is more well-suited for communication and less suited for task management than Trello. More focused …
Discord is highly functional and has very good support for voice and video chat. However, Discord feels aimed more at actively getting people together on the app itself. Discord wants you to be there with everyone, while Slack wants you to keep in touch. Discord feels like it's …
I would choose Slack a hundred times over Teams. I find the interface to be much friendlier and there are more robust features -- not to mention gifs and custom reactions.
Slack is BY FAR the most robust and efficient professional communication tool. It allows for organization within large companies and for smaller groups to emerge, both professional teams and social groups like a channel to share food cooked or plants gardened.

Slack is my favourite tool so far. It is easy to use. It does everything that I need. I love the designer and you are free to use any email address.
The user interface of slack is very simple and easy to understand. There is a mobile app is also available so it's easy to transfer data from mobile devices. Advance features of calling, screen sharing are there and we can easily use that feature.
Most importantly, there are a lot of different integrations with other applications. Slack is beyond the competition. A lightweight application available on multiple platforms (including Apple M1).
We find Slack more useful due to the way our company works, it's a great chat app plus you have all these integrations that make it very efficient. Thanks to the notifications, the information gets to who needs to see it and if you use it correctly you stop getting the millions …
