Best in the business
The ease of using Slack is phenomenal because of its lightweight design. There are other products in the market, but this application apts for a Developer or a Person who is even working in the Computer Field. Slack helps us to connect quickly through huddles and screen presentations, with the pen option being ultimate. We also have channels where we can call out for teammates, and we use the channel as a record, just like an email. Slack is bringing new features very swiftly, and it is vivid that Slack is the go-to option for any Employer.

Slack makes me more productive with easy access to my team.
Being a remote-first company, we rely on a quick line of communication with our co-workers who are all around the globe. Additionally, the integrations and 'bonus' functionality (besides being a chat service) have allowed me to send videos, and files, have quick verbal chats (through their huddle feature) and even remind me about messages that were sent. I can also see when we get new submissions from a Zapier connection and create channels for focused collaboration among different departments. It's an incredibly valuable productivity service.

Makes life easy!
We use slack to communicate across teams, share best practices, and generally know what's going on with one another and in the company. Whether it's DMs, public channels for departments, or private channels to coordinate something, we use them all day, every day!

Our attorneys travel all over NY state, and we have three different offices. Slack allows us to communicate as if we were sitting across from each other and share pertinent information quickly.

Slack allows us to communicate with each other internally as an organization. We can also participate in channels and group messages. For example, we just had our biggest conference of the year: RISE WEST. So we created a RISE WEST channel to communicate and plan before, during, and after the event. This was crucial in our efforts to gain new business.

Best Office Communication Tool
1. Office day-to-day communication --> find it more useful and trackable than emails. 2. Work-life balance --> certain features like snooze, setting work hours, updating current status helps ensure that work life balance is maintained. 3. On-boarding of new members --> since all conversations are stored, it makes it easier for new joiners to get context of things that happened in the organization before they joined.

Slack is a great platform for communication!
We use slack for all internal communication between departments and within departments. It allows us to have all our documented conversations in one place, and quickly get/respond to messages. We plan to continue to use Slack as we grow our company to over 50 employees, and even more than that in the future.

Best Tool for the organisation
I've used Slack for more then 3 years and it helped me in organising tasks list, easy communication, seamless video business meetings. It's one of the best Internal chat tool i've used. It's UI is the best in industry and most of the companies uses it.

Slack is the only tool worth considering right now for workplace chat
We use Slack for everything. As a fully distributed company, we need a great chat tool. We occasionally use other chat tools with some of our customers and they are not nearly as close to Slack. We also use Slack to build a lot of integrations that connect all our systems together.

Slack for everyday use
We use Slack across all departments. It helps to connect multiple remote team members to complete projects, and it also connects remote team members who are looking for that “in-office” feel. I’m addition to using it for our internal team, I will say that in the sales department we use it for client communication too. Adding prospects to private channels allows us to keep conversations going even if our internal champion leaves the company.

I mainly use Slack as my note-taking platform. Also, our organization uses Slack as an internal communication platform to share thoughts, files, and updates with specific individuals and/or groups of people. We're a fully remote team with each member at a different location, Slack really helps us to stay connected and updated with daily ongoing activities. This is much better than email as it is easy to read and update a Slack thread about a particular topic and also helps in having responses real quick.

Great teams don't cut the Slack
My team works mostly remote and we use Slack on a daily basis to communicate with each other and receive notifications for updates and events related to the websites we're developing. It makes it easy to share information, ask a question, or request assistance from each other. Slack has replaced email as our main form of team communication because it can be used real time or asynchronously as needed.

Feel free using Slack
When I started working at my current job, we would use Slack, but the directors changed it to Teams. Even in my previous job, they did the same thing. We were using the free version in both companies if I am not wrong. Nowadays, I have two workspaces where I discuss programming and IT things. As a developer, in both jobs, we used Slack to communicate with other developers, business analysts and the QA team. Another thing that we used was the integration with GitLab/Jira.

Slack Makes Inter Organizational Collaboration Child’s Play
We use Slack for collaboration between teams, but especially when part of a team is outside the organization. There are a lot of great chat and collaboration tools out there, but Slack is the easiest when not everyone is internal. The ease of pinning, channels and search all make it perfect for this. It’s also easy to add and eject users from your channel. Bonus: the Slash commands and shortcuts are great to work with.

We are a global company with offices in Dublin, London, and San Fransico, as well as staff dotted across the states and Europe. This means its vital we stay in touch with each other. Slack solves this problem, with multiple channels we can really tailor the conversation.

The best internal company communication tool
Slack is our primary communications hub. It is our all-in-one solution to keep in touch with other team members and coordinate our daily activities. As a fast growing company we need one method to stay aligned on deliverables, and slack is the fastest method to stay connected to each other

The Only Messaging and Collaboration Tool you Need in your Tech Stack
Slack has become our dominant communication medium. It has replaced email internally and now use it to talk with customers by inviting them as multi-channel guests. We created channels for our teams like Customer Success and Support to talk with customers more efficiently than over email. Our team also employs contractors, and we've been able to bring them into select channels as guests. We've also used many out-of-the-box integrations supported by Slack and other products in our tech stack to make notifications and alerts more centralized. The product has proven to be a valuable part of our daily operations.

Slack is great for small business and might be expensive if you go to a high tier.
I use slack to communicate with Florida developer communities. It is a great way to get talent and support for technical questions. I also use it to promote our latest innovations and the latest company news.

Quick Message Communication Platform for Professionals.
Our organization uses Slack as an internal communication platform to quickly share ideas, files, and news with specific individuals and/or groups of people. We also use this as a secure link between external organizations when setting up partnerships. This is much better than email when it comes to needing responses in a timely manner.

Internal Communications Must-Have!
I use slack mainly for user interaction, to keep in communication with multiple departments for daily operations of different software platforms we use internally. I also mainly use slack as my note-taking platform, as I can create reminders and tickets using this method with Slack and our internal ticketing system.

Slack is awesome for keeping remote companies connected!
We are a remote company that uses Slack daily for internal communications and building our company culture. Without slack, we would miss out on the opportunity to discuss work, expand our professional knowledge, and build our community. Although we use it primarily to communicate within our own team, we also have dedicated slack channels to connect with each of our clients.
