Slack Reviews

I think slack is great for smaller teams. In a larger setting, I would be worrisome that it would devolve into a cacophony of noise. This could also be overwhelming to some individuals.
I'm involved in several other slack groups in the coding community and they can get rather busy quite quickly. Since our company is somewhat small, I feel like it fits us pretty well and remains manageable and easy to keep up with.

Slack is very appropriate for team or company messaging. It allows the entire team to be updated and in the loop for any updates. However, it's usually good for chatting purposes. Their voice and video call features are not that good based on my experience.

I like to laze because it is quite stable, it can easily be all day connected to a working day and does not present any type of failures.

Slack is great for company-wide announcements, starting groups, coordinating events, and really good for engaging employees across the organization. It is a great way to bring people together as well, despite being a digital forum. Due to Slack, our employees are more in tune with each other and actually spend more time together outside of work engaging each other. Project-based communication is not as useful, but it can be done as well.

Slack is well suited for those seeking for an app that allows you to have fast communication, in a specific ecossystem (a company, a group of interest), with several different people, specially when one seeks to share knowledge in group, as well as have a private conversation with a person of interest.

Communication between our web developers and QA, helps speed up the process of fixing bugs. Also allows for screen shares, to see exactly what someone is talking about.

Any business can use it as a very effective and easy tool.

We have a lot of projects with different customers, even several different workspaces in Slack. You can access all communication in a single window, easily switch between workspaces and not get lost in a number of threads and discussions. Direct messages are also useful, you can contact each person directly

Slack is well suited to creating discussions when it relates to planning, campaigns or socially.

Great for team integration and communication.

With this software you can provide information company wide, within a team or to specific people of interest. Not only can you communicate but also share files, easily search for information and integrate it with other products or add-ons. I would not recommend using it for planning or scheduling, but mostly as a communication platform.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Slack is here to stay. Major players like Microsoft and Facebook are developing competing platforms, but they are leagues behind Slack. Simply put, Slack understands the customer problem, while Microsoft and Facebook seem to be developing their products and trying to find the problems that it addresses along the way.

Slack is a much more accessible chat app than anything I've used before (Skype, IBM Sametime, Gchat). It has a ton of customization features and the mobile app is fantastic. It is incredibly easy to use while you are on your phone. The free version may not be the best for larger companies that need to be able to see old conversations.

We tried this in a small company (less than 20 people) and the effect was awesome. The onboarding is very easy (who doesn't know a chat app?) and using it was too. I think this is suitable for almost all kind of companies, but you need to prepare to switch some behaviors. People must know that Slack is the only acceptable channel for communicating. You need to take this very serious, otherwise people won't answer there and accountability gets lots. I've read of companies with 1,000 of employees using it and small startups. Of course, this won't work if your people doesn't use computers, are laggards at adopting technology or simply are slow at writing. But I think if you're reading this, you already broke that barrier!

I love using this Slack for everything. It keeps the whole company connected, whether or not that's a good thing. It is a great tool for businesses big or small to be able to reach their employees. I am also able to have Slack on my phone, so I can use it even when I don't have my computer with me.

I almost can't work without it at this point. I rely on it for a lot of things. Most notably communication but we also have multiple integrations built into slack to notify me, my team, etc. about numerous things.

It's well suited to lead communication on projects with all people, who are involved, to share files with them and keep them in the loop of everything related to the project. It also allows creating quizzes or questionnaires. It combines the function of a project management tool and communication tool. It's less appropriate for individual communication though, because notifications are not visible enough, which leads to delays in response.

It solves very smoothly and more efficiently than emails communication issues. Especially with our group divided on 2 different floors in the building of our company.
I can very stronlgy advice slack. It stands as a great alternative to other tools there are available out there. There are also features to upload documents to be shared, like SOPs etc...

If you have multiple groups that you want to keep in the loop but not necessarily in the communication the concept of channels are perfectly suited.

If your organization does not have an instant messaging tool, Slack fits in perfectly and allows users and organization(s) to communicate effectively and collaborate.

I think it is extremely adaptable for all sorts of use cases. Pretty much every organization should have some program like Slack or Slack itself. I've used some other similar tools that weren't as easy to use as Slack. Some can be a little too specific in it's intended audience (which I'm sure it's great for) but for a general communication tool this is about as good as it gets.

It is best for conversational communication back and forth rather than posting critical information that could get buried and lost in a series of exchanges between people. Great for immediate sharing of information to online users paying attention but thus can leave out those offline or not looking.

It is definitely well-suited for organizing research topics for easy accessibility. It is also suitable for dividing up projects within an organization (such as research and development). I would say that it is far more customizable than most project management software such as Asana or Trello. The integrations could use work, but overall it is great.

For a relatively tech savvy team that needs to stay in constant contact (or even just needs to be super aware when intermittent issues do come up for something ongoing), Slack is a great way to keep your team engaged and on the same page.
