Slack vs. Unily

For a company that works with remote employees, like our company, Slack is extremely good at allowing instant communication, files sharing, calls, huddles and many other features that makes it so easy to feel like that communication flows quickly and easy. It is also a great ally to manage projects as it allows to integrate with tools like monday.com, helping you to streamline communication with the team overall.

• I love using the remind function to have slack tell me about things that I need to remember. It can be used for exact dates and times in the future and even recurring reminders. It's definitely one of my favorite features.
• Slack allows you to "huddle" with other teammates. This is a quick voice call and is way better than trying to call someone on the phone.
• Slack's ability to integrate with many other software makes it invaluable. We can have other software send us notifications or reminders in Slack that we wouldn't have received otherwise.

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.

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.

Slack is the superior offering for what we do and who we communicate with. The other programs offer basic features, but Slack continues to innovate and is business-first, which is very helpful for our small team. The feature set and integrations are better in Slack than other offerings we have evaluated

The UI of Unily is really impressive and it's really easy to work in it. Also, Unily makes it really easy for all the staff especially the ones with non-technical skills to work and interact on the platform. Unily also makes it easy to communicate with the team in time and get rewarded for their effort.
