Slack is being used throughout our organization so that we can collaborate in a much better and a refined way. It is helping us eliminate the fuss and confusion that usually comes when multiple people are doing the same project. It helps us in communicating in a more professional manner and share files faster so that we can be more efficient at work.

Slack is a "must-have" tool for our company's
communications because it keeps everything organized. As a team leader, Slack
is a great tool to use. We use it to keep track of our activities, assigning
different channels to each service, topic, and employee. It gives all team
members instant access to the latest information. We've implemented Google
Calendar Integration to make things easier for my coworkers and myself. It's a
great way to start a conversation within a group or organization. We can set up
channels and groups to disseminate messages and information. They are
compatible with every conceivable file format. We also have a calling feature
that works with both audio and video. Having the option to make workspaces is
great. I like the screen sharing and whiteboarding features that let users
quickly solve UX and UI issues.

I use Slack at my current organization to collaborate with my colleagues about my customers. We have created many custom channels to sync and work out loud on the customer's status, collaborate amongst my team, as well as share news and updates. It's mainly used as a working out loud source so that everything can be visible to those in the channel, and we have the history of the conversation if any transitions happen internally, and we don't have to worry much about knowledge transfer.

In my organisation, Slack is widely used for handling communication throughout all the departments. I can say Slack is the primary app people uses to initiate any conversation on the go.
We have created Slack channels for each team separately and added the respective peoples to it.
When we require to initiate a conversation with peoples belonging to different teams, we just create a separate thread-message for all of us.
My organisation has also made an app called X-Bot and added it to slack to help any FAQs and IT Ticket status/details.
I have integrated it with Zoom and Google Calendar which helps me to not miss any upcoming meetings.

Fast and efficient communication
I use slack in my instructional design projects and upon implementation of my projects. Slack allows me to collaborate with people quickly rather than have emails sitting in an inbox. Getting fast responses helps me produce work faster and products on the market faster. On the other side, my subject matter experts often ask me questions. Slack allows me to get to their questions more quickly. Speed and efficiency are why I use Slack.

We use Slack for official communication, sharing files, data, and other official documents. It has been quite useful in managing projects and coordinating with project members. From daily huddles to integration with third-party apps for easy flow of information, Slack has it all. All of the key software that we work upon are integrated with Slack which helps in staying on top of our daily work.

I use Slack as an instant messaging platform to communicate with other employees in the organization. It allows me to have audio and video calls as well as present my screen so that others in the call can see my screen. It lets us create private groups as well as public channels where multiple people can communicate together. It also has the option to add plugins (Google Calendar, Jira, etc.) which come in handy. It has a wide range of emojis that help lighten the mood. It also allows everyone to draw using a highlighter when someone is presenting their screen. This is a rather useful feature.

Great Communication Solution
Slack has become a central communication tool within our organization. As we've grown in size, it makes it much easier to group teams or reach out to the whole staff. Slack is also integrated through a few other apps we use, which makes it easy to call attention to information that they need to see or even reminders about an upcoming meeting. We can touch base even while they are still in a meeting instead of interrupting them. I recommend them as a great communication solution.

I love Slack! We have several different channels that allow us to keep different types of conversations related to customers, internal processes, tech support, etc separate. This is also a quick and easy communication tool that even my CEO if needed could direct message me asking for my assistance with a customer or question on a process for our team. Largely though it is also super helpful to somewhat "document" questions and answers that we can always search for in the future if needed.

We use Slack as our main tool to communicate with our teams and create silo department/project groups to discuss, collaborate and even include our clients in the loop. It helps us stay on track with things and makes communication much easier and simpler. The ability for Slack to connect to Apps also helps us with file sharing and input from clients as well as managing our documents.
We used Slack for company-wide chat, announcements, and keeping the company connected with remote work and distributed teams in different time zones. We upgraded from a different chat app, and Slack is head and shoulders above other apps. It is so much better. It is nice how it links to your Google calendar and drive, you can pre-schedule messages to go out at a certain time, and you can sync it with your phone.

Enthusiastic proponent of Slack!
Slack is our central means of internal communication across all verticals of our business. We use Slack for individual messaging, group messaging for internal teams, themed channels for all interested participants, and company wide announcements. It provides a quick way to ask questions, provide updates, and stay informed about business initiatives when email and calling are not quick enough or appropriate.

Slack is a great product
Currently as a company we use it as our primary form of communication within the company. We also create channels that are shared with customers and partners and we add them as single or multi channel guests. As a lower level admin I create channels and add and remove users from channels. It has been integrated with Okta so when new users are added to Okta they are automatically added in to Slack.

Slack was great for chatting and sharing ideas, brainstorming, and even used as a casual channel for talking to my team while having stored records of valuable content for later reference. You might use it for "behind the scenes" discussion, but there might be something inspired, and it lets you go back and find it again. Working remote was a necessity with the company's dymanic, since our clients were literally all over the state of Florida, our team was spread all over the US, yet Slack made it feel like they were sitting next to me.

Slack: A best tool for business management.
We use Slack to communicate with each other. Jot notes about the task we must accomplish. And, receive direct and on-time messages/ delivers from Zappier, an app we use to track incoming orders for our business. It helps us to easily communicate and track incoming orders. Manage the team by creating channels and linking various apps easily like Zappier, Google Drive, and monday.com.

Essential communication tool for organization
Slack is used to manage the data of an organization we can easily share data and information to complete the project.
In an organization, multiple projects are running so needs to manage all data of particular projects.
Also, different employees are working on some projects, so by creating a channel in Slack, we can manage our work and data to succeed in the project.

Enhanced communication is something that our team at Byjus uses Slack for. It helps us to keep tabs on micro-tasks by using bots to remind and include KIRA and Google plugins to integrate all work flows. On a whole, it makes the work very efficient. To have a feature of conducting and taking user research notes and sessions (video calls) on slack would be a big thing we are looking forward to.

We use Slack for daily, 'quick' communication with coworkers. For each department, localization, topic, or team we've got different channels so you can join the ones you're interested/you're working in. Also, team announcements are published on Slack as well as information about webinars, conferences, and interesting publications. Slack provides many emoticons so it's easy to express the emotions about the message and give feedback.
