Chose Slack
Slack is a way better tool as compared to Google Chat or Google Hangout. Pumble gives a Slack alike feel and could be a good option. However, Microsoft Teams can be a tough competitor as Teams has good integrations with all Office products, Outlook, and web conferencing. And …

Chose Slack
Slack in my experience is a much better tool than Microsoft Teams and has been a better user experience. There seems to be less outages in Slack and just feels more comfortable to use. Slack also seems to be a pretty widely adopted solution that people are using and can …
The level of complexity for Power users is unparalleled in Asana. The only advantage Google Chat has is its linkage with Gmail, another indispensable tool. Google's meetings are better and connectivity-related issues are fewer. Microsoft Teams too is similar to Google Chat is …
It was too email centric - you get too many emails telling you to go there, so it seemed inefficient.
There wasn't enough non-project functionality so it was never really "always open" for people the way Slack is, it just felt like an extra thing to do, rather than a tool that …
Good User interface, feels easy to use Easy to open a thread and have a discussion with rich text editing Integrations are good, helps to check the status of many entities from single place
In my opinion, Slack is, by far, the platform to beat in the market. Microsoft may have the edge since it is native to that ecosystem with better integration with other native apps (Word, Excel, etc.), but I think Slack still beats them in almost every other way. We had Slack …
While Skype, WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams messaging platforms offer their unique advantages, Slack stands out to me for its advanced features and intuitive interface. Slack excels in team collaboration, providing robust file sharing, customizable channels, and extensive …
Before Slack, I used to use Telegram and Whatsapp, but they both were also my personal platform to chat with friends and family. This mix between personal and professional life was very damaging because it felt like I was always working. Slack gave me the possibility to feel …
Slack is systematically organizing channel for different groups and also notification of slack is very good compared to Microsoft Teams as in if you use same slack login with mobile as well as computer you get notified over both in slack while i was facing the problem in teams …
We have observed that Skype doesnt fit for our business needs as it has various limitations across adding people to the calls. creating the war channels is a very heptic task and long running Skype doesn't work on the mobile very well
Having used these 3 software, I believe Slack covers a much wider use case scenario, the user onboarding experience is seamless, the platform is very user friendly and intuitive, very well organized as compared to the other competing software that's out there in the market. …
I was not involved in this decision but the decision to use Slack was primarily due to the vast options and functionalities provided by the platform around - collaboration, ability to create channels for specific purposes and effective notification management.
Slack has message history unlike Skype. Also Slack has the ability to share large files, have automations, remainders, schedule messages, integration with multiple tools etc. Whereas Skype does not have all these features. Teams takes up a lot of system resources. Whereas Slack …
I selected Slack because it is the combination of the two that are mentioned above. In ClickUp you can manage the projects and tasks, in Skype you can communicate. Whereas Slack single-handedly handles both of these features, It manages your projects / tasks and allows you to …
Slack was chosen by my company... But as I mentioned earlier, Teams is stronger in that it integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft tools like Outlook and Sharepoint so everything is connected. Slack seems disconnected somewhat from my calendar, so that is frustrating. On …
Slack has a quick way of getting in touch with colleagues and customers (if they use it). Other tools sometimes don't have the feature of keeping the history on my chats. I like the way of creating channel and groups of peopel for discussine. Other tools cannot have such a …
Google products are not very easy to use and difficult to administer. Since moving from Google to Slack for our internal comms, life has been great! Top highlights of Slack over Google are its simple user interface, its brilliant and responsive and also engages work/life …
Slack is much more customisable in terms of the integrations you can plug into the software. This allows for much easier tracking of business activities and notifications, too. It is also much quicker to speak with people and jump into chats and calls. It is also much more …
Slack has a much easier, simple interface and is easy to access, log into (using SSO) on multiple devices enabling work from anywhere. Simple and Secure!
