Slack Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In a world of corporate all in one solutions, where businesses are insisting that all employees use Microsoft Teams, Slack is a sleek, fun, modern take on communication which when implemented right in a business, can bring a lot of engagement and life to communication which can otherwise become bland and sterile.

Slack is a great communications platform, it's 'Channels' feature is a much better approach to social communications than Team's 'Teams' function, and it pairs really nicely with it's management features and custom emote support. Slack also has some great features such as Canvas which can be used in a variety of ways such as for onboarding employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Slack to communicate within our team, share updates, and plan meetings. We also use it to connect with the teams of our customers or our partners. Sometimes we also use it to communicate with vendors.

We use 1to1 messages for day-to-day communications, and the channels for company updates and as a central knowledge base history.

It's amazing for small team communication. As well as having a dedicated channel with company updates (automated and manual) where everyone can pin in the thread.

This helps keep everyone on the same page while maintaining the async company culture.

It's also really great to keep in touch with customers, and provide direct support without the need to have tickets or another form of format communication.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Colleague communication.

Likelihood to Recommend

Colleague communication — that’s what we use it for the most. I think other teams might use it in other ways, but for me, it’s like the WhatsApp of the Salesforce world when it comes to corporate communication. As for where it’s less appropriate, I honestly don’t have an example off the top of my head. It doesn’t replace in-person connectivity, but for remote workers, it’s a necessity.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Slack is something which made, honestly made our life really easy. Right before Slack we used to have a lot of different tools, maybe Google Meets or Microsoft Teams and all the whole idea of using the Slack where we have all the documents, all the information handy. We can create the different groups channel, we can add external people as well. And especially when you're coordinating with the Salesforce team, they are on Slack and without, if you're not on Slack, then you can't communicate with them. That's how it's helping us and our team very well. I think it's a great tool in terms of the communication, in terms of restoring the data, in terms of seeing what kind of the history, in terms of creating the different channels, in terms of sizing, something which is you want to hide from the others, but you want to do collaborative environment. So Slack can come and play a very important, that's what I love.

Likelihood to Recommend

See, in every scenario, Slack is good, right? Because it's all about communicating how you coordinate with your team and all. I mean, if there is no communication within the team, then to be honest, you don't need any tools, whether it's Slack or any other platform. So it's better all the different scenario, wherever it comes. Communication, internal, external, sharing the information, creating a group Slack payer. So yeah, it's good.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Each and every member of the company gets a Slack account on their first day, and we use it for all internal messaging and ad-hoc calls. It means that in this working from home age, everyone is simply a message or call away and everything is logged, which is crucial to our businesses day to day operations. It allows for cross-collaboration between departments which would otherwise be made difficult without Slack.

Likelihood to Recommend

Slack is suited to larger businesses that have many employees, as I feel it's main strength is in the way it easily allows you to find anyone to direct message instantly, and how easy it is to setup endless channels to cover all the different departments and projects that may be ongoing at any one time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Slack has been instrumental in helping us with interdepartmental communications across the globe as well as opening a clear line of communications with our clients. We have offices all over the world and real time communication had been a challenge. With all of Slack's integrations and the ability to send messages as well as files in real time has helped us tremendously. Additionally, whenever we onboard new clients we typically ask that we start a Slack channel for our communications.

Likelihood to Recommend

Slack has been instrumental in the way we run projects. Because different teams sit in different offices, when we collaborate we always keep logs of our progress in a dedicated Slack channel which can be assigned a different name. Also, we prefer to communicate with clients via Slack if they already have a dedicated Slack workspace and simply ask they create a channel.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Slack is mainly used by our coding team and also the Dev Ops side of the house. We recently developed VoIP software as well as a program called Tadpole to help with the process for setting up a printer. It helps our Team share links to Git Repos and also provides a shareable history so that people can track changes to the software we are producing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Slack is great for tracking commits to new coding projects. You can take parts of code that still need to be implemented later and easily search through the history of comments if there is something that goes wrong with a code commitment. It can be difficult for people that only like Teams to adjust to a new platform if you are using both to communicate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Slack to communicate with my team members. It's better to use Slack instead of sending excessive emails to the team, and by this we can communicate effectively and we can improve the productivity of the work. More importantly its user interface was too clean and clear. I am impressed with some features, like scheduled messages. But sometimes it gets logged out frequently, and I need to log in every day.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, Slack is ideal for agile team communication, quick updates, and informal daily conversations where transparency is key. It's less appropriate for formal, top-down announcements or highly sensitive discussions, best reserved for more secure, less chatty channels like email. It can also be overwhelmed with notifications in large organizations. That's why I am rating 7.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Slack to communicate with various departments and clients in real time. I'm able to send files up to a certain capacity. And holding huddles has made inpromotu meetings a breeze.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Slack works for any business or agency that deals with multiple people, and they need a real-time communication tool. The ability to work in different channels at your own pace helps one get a lot done.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our remote organization uses Slack to communicate across departments. It is not our "hub" for primary messaging, but rather used for sharing quick questions or information throughout the day. We’ve organized our Slack workspace into channels based on departments and projects, but mostly we just use the direct message feature rather than channels.

Back to Command+K for pasting links – it's so ridiculous and annoying that this isn't an option or that there's no way to customize shortcuts to match the rest of the universe. This ONE feature is the reason for this rating.
