Slack Reviews

Slack is currently being used by our entire organization. There's a small number of employees at headquarters in New York City, but the rest of the company is remote, spread all over the U.S. and the globe (UK, Germany, India, Japan, Korea). My specific department consists of 1200+ employees, and Slack is THE way that we communicate. It's a seamless, vital part of our work lives. Truthfully, we wouldn't be able to function as a company without it!

We use Slack as our primary inter team communication tool. We have integrated a number of the platforms that easily work within the tool as well as the in-platform call feature. We have created channels where we can communicate product or department specific information. We have a variety of social channels as well where we can share music, choices and lately, photos and ideas on how we are coping with the work from home status. My favorite feature is the ability to easily search issues or items. Other similar tools don't have such robust features like this so it helps me quickly see if my issue has come up.

I love using Slack. It is by far the best communication system out on the market for businesses to use. I have been using Slack for over a year and I love how easy it is to create group chats and individual chats. I am able to connect with fellow employees with ease. It is super easy to share files and links with co-workers. Another cool thing is if another company has Slack, you can connect with them which is super nice because you can have a live chat with any user of Slack. Slack is my go-to for communicating with co-workers because it allows me to get almost instant answers.

We use Slack for all communications within our company. We communicate via direct messages or via specific channels related to departments, tasks, customers, marketing, news stations or general communication. It allows us to keep track of all things related and refer to any conversations that we had in the past.

At our current workplace, we are connected to two teams via Slack. One is our own and the other is of a Fortune 50 company which also uses Slack. So Slack as a whole is used by the entire company and also customers/clients we interact with on a day-to-day basis. The primary business need being staying connected with colleagues and also collaborating on work is what makes Slack great software to use on a daily basis.

Slack is used across all of the organization to help us communicate, collaborate, align and focus. I think it is the killer productivity app that helps us be more efficient on our day-to-day. The multiplicity of integrations is what generates the most value. The possibility of creating channels and threads is very helpful.

Slack is used as an external communication channel with our stakeholders which are based in a different time-zone. The platform is used specifically for a project. The tool makes file sharing as well as holding impromptu meetings easily. An added advantage is that groups can be created for specific needs with desired team members. The channel saves all chat records and has an inbuilt thread feature for all chats which makes it easier to track conversations.

It is used in 2 of our 3 offices. It addresses 90% of our communication needs. We don't even remember what we did before Slack to communicate.

Being honest, we are not on Slack now. We left it a few months back and now our whole organisation uses Workplace. But when we were using Slack for our organisation, we used it for internal communication and live chat in various departments and to share project updates or documents which needed to be shared quickly. It is still very easy to use but doesn't fully meet all of our requirements.

Well we are on our second go around with Slack. We implemented it many years ago but it fizzled out. About a year ago we resurrected the product. I just don't know about how it fits in to our enterprise. There are some areas that use it a lot to keep track of say network or SaaS issues which are timely in nature. However there are others who just don't need to use it for much. I would say there is about 20% of our division that uses it actively. Unfortunately, much of the other 80% sees it as an annoyance. Furthermore, some of the 20% that uses it seems to think that they need to communicate what they say on Slack in a duplicate manner via email or vice versa.

We are currently using Slack in all work teams in the digital area. Each sector has its own Slack group and they are not interconnected. The marketing, web development, Windows application programming, and graphic design groups have their separate areas. Integration with external software tools is great. It has a very varied catalog and each digital production department makes use of the extra applications that are most convenient for it. There is also a space in Slack for the entire organization, which has a channel of official communications. It is very easy to send messages and receive them. This is where we resolve general issues and receive instructions regarding the company's management.

Slack is perfect for communication between large organizations and within different departments. I like how you can send announcements to entire departments or to individual workers.

We use Slack for the whole company: we divided each department by Slack channels. We use it daily in order to connect every office [that are in different time zones.

I am using slack in my current company and [used it at my] previous company for 3 years. It has a rich set of options, we can integrate [it with] our build tools. Some of my favorite [features] include integration with SumoLogs and alerting if there are exceptions, group chatting with the concerned department, and creating channels for groups. We can't run our regular job without Slack. I am using Slack mostly for 40% of my work. I hardly use email after using Slack.

We use "Slack" for our day to day team and individual communication. This tool is being used across the university IT campus. For any project related work or a specific Jira ticket I am able to create a private Slack chat room to have a specific discussion and to share confidential data. The important difference that I find compared to HipChat and Slack is that the later tool gives me the abilities to correct or modify my typos or delete the messages in case it there was a typo.

Using Skype for Business, it was becoming increasingly difficult to connect all our organization's employees on a single reliable cloud solution. After careful consideration and planning by the DevOp team, we moved to Slack. It's being used for notifications, personal chats, files sharing, departmental updates, team meets, and as a personal notepad. There are still multiple plugins to support more features. After using it for 2 years myself and performing administration, I can safely say it lacks nothing. It's better than my Whatsapp!

Slack is the central communication tool for our organization. When I started, we were only really using Slack for instant messaging. That has grown over the years to the point where we use Slack for internal calls, messaging, company wide and private communication channels, online meetings, and inter-office calling. I really like the evolution of the solution and it has replaced multiple tools that we'd otherwise use in our organization (like email, gotomeeting) into one single solution. I really like the mobile app and the experience between devices is seamless. My only nit-pick is that sometimes searching within the app can be a little wonky. Finally, the api for the system is nice and allows for nice integrations with our internal project management tool. Their app store is also comprehensive and the salesforce integration is useful.

Slack is not used very centrally in our organization, unfortunately. Though we also have Microsoft Teams, the Slack offering is better at this time. Collaboration across teams is easier with Slack. Though I think Teams will catch up.

Slack is used across our whole organisation, both company-wide and intra-departmentally. We not only use it for communications, but also for a variety of other use cases such as field info sharing (while mobile), polling, project collaborations, data input, news and info distribution, among others. We've found that some of the use cases we used email for has shifted to Slack as well.

We use Slack as a whole to communicate service issues throughout the world and to track our Jira Service Desk tickets.

We implemented Slack as a chat for our company. It has been a great tool. We created many groups depending on the department of the firm, some general group or event group or groups per subsidiaries since we have one HQ and three subsidiaries in 3 parts of the world. It works great.

We use it for interpersonal communication throughout our organization. We have quite a few teams that make up our organization as well as offices in NYC, LA, and London. Slack makes it completely seamless for us to communicate between all of our departments as well as amongst our different offices around the world.

We use Slack in our entire organization as a means of internal communication. It addresses a need for real-time team collaboration in different locations and time zones, as we have multiple offices.

It is being used across the entire organization and serves as our primary internal communication tool.

Slack is being used by the whole organization. It is used to allow communication between all members of the organization and between our developers and project managers and our clients. Slack provides manageable groups to be used however it seems fit and with innumerable add-ons, we haven't found a situation where the tool performs below our expectations. We also use it as a way to integrate our monitoring platform to our client's group and our first responders (We use Centron which is based on Nagios). The Slack administrator must have a good knowledge of the platform and/or a good knowledge of its capabilities and the willingness to learn about it.
