Slack vs. TeamViewer Meeting

We tried a different team communication software (Discord), but it didn't work as consistently well as Slack. We really like Slack for our internal team communication, and even for communication with outside organizations we work with. It's pretty easy to set up a Slack channel and invite others to it for easy back and forth. Huddles, even with video and sharing work pretty well now, though there are still a few hiccups every now and again.

Blizz is great for any kind of video conferencing call, it brings a lot to the table and manages to execute its service very well. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an affordable and solid video conferencing experience. In my opinion, it would suit both medium and small teams the most.

• Real-time discussions between team members like a chat application
• Direct integrations with calendar and video call applications
• Intuitive shorthand for emoji inputs and Markdown styling
• Smart copy-paste UX for media files and external links that detects the type of assets being pasted

• Very effective linking of different devices. Easy to join from anywhere/any device by just entering the meeting ID.
• Minimal, intuitive interface that takes very little getting used to. I skipped the help section and still figured everything out within a couple of minutes.
• Pairs with Outlook so you can view all your existing contacts from within Blizz. Really saves time and stops anyone being missed out.
• Can support up to 300 participants.
• Reasonable pricing structure. Free for personal use and still good value for the higher-level packages. You can also add local numbers for free.
• Live text chat for use during a meeting if you have something to say but don’t want to interrupt the presenter.
• A secured connection so there are no issues sending sensitive documents etc.
• The audio and video quality has always been excellent (although I’ve come to expect this from any conferencing software nowadays).

• I'd like to see further ways to organize my chats. Right now, it's very linear. Maybe folders inside folders.
• Being able to transfer any videos recorded in Slack between slack conversations without downloading and uploading. Aka, a Slack link for the video (like loom).
• A cheat sheet of available commands (like starting a zoom chat) --I'd love to know what all my company has enabled.

• You can sense that the product is still in development/introduction stages, but has the potential of getting bigger
• Some UI improvements are necessary
• Not a lot of public awareness

As useful as Slack has become within our company, I feel fairly confident we will continue to use Slack as a communication tool. They continue to improve their software and add value to its use within our office. Customer service delivers, which is an absolute must. Looking forward to how they improve.

As long as you use the basic chat features and nothing more, it really is super easy to understand and use. Once you want to take advantage of some of the more advanced features and capabilities, that's when things get complicated. Anyone who has use SMS or a chat program before will be able to figure out the basics though, so rolling this out should be relatively straightforward and not required exhaustive training. Teaching chat etiquette is something else though.

I've never had to contact support for Slack which is a great testament to its ease and use. Adding people outside of the organization takes a little getting used to, but ultimately allows for greater collaboration between FTE and contractors. There is no clear alternative to this software, so it's the best we can do for now.

The last time I had interaction with Blizz by TeamViewer support was directly on their website in the Help option, I sent them a written message, and in a few minutes, they had already answered me. I think the technical service is efficient.

It always helps if you communicate to everyone in the organization how important it is to drop whatever other chat tools they are using and jump quickly to Slack. They will all fall in love with it.

It depends on the company size, if the company is small its better to use other messengers which are more lean and simple, slack in my opinion is very useful once you can use all of it's benefits as an integration with the other services which are very strong, we have integration with Google, Automation, our internal services as Okta

I’ve previously used household names like Zoom and Skype for my video conference calls, but neither provides as much as Blizz in terms of scheduling features. And to be honest, Blizz’s user interface and connectivity are as good if not better than those platforms, despite its relative newness.

• It has saved us a lot of time that would have been spent sending emails back and forth.
• Search option adds accountability to our team conversations.
• Integrations with Google Drive and Gmail are another great time saver.
• Sharing files allows us to collaborate faster and better.

• Blizz ensures that my service quality rating is not compromised due to bad connectivity. Return on investment is 100%.
• Blizz has a modern and simple design. This makes it easy for the user to get started as there is no learning curve.
• Remote screen share is slick and the Blizz controls on-screen take up minimal space, taking nothing away from the user experience.
