Slack makes communications better.
I have been using Slack for more than one year now and we continue using it. It's great for communicating with the whole team. We have group calls and share documents and all other kinds of files. We use different bots in it as well. We have all kinds of channels and groups for public and private settings. We can add reactions to it too that's fun for the team. We have offices in different locations and with Slack it's very easy to keep the whole team up to date with all the things. Now they have added a new note feature as well that comes in handy.<br>You add your google calender to it and they send reminders. And you can edit the message in case you wanna change it. You can schedule messaged to be sent.

Slack made internal communication so much easier since the pandemic. No more lost emails or unseen notification. Every team can have it's own channel, every project can too! With multiple integrations from Bitbucket, Google Calendar and so on, productivity has skyrocketted. Let's not forget the integration of ou best buddy, /giphy, to integrate fun gifs to the conversation.

I love SLACK!
I use slack everyday to communicate with my Team and Managers. It also allows me to talk and collaborate as a group. My favorite part is the slack channels so that I can stay up to date with current in real time updates for the company as well as specific offices. Huddling is something i've only seen SLACK have!! Really cool feature, makes it very easy to hop on a quick call and lets others know your busy. My other favorite feature would be that it integrates with Google calender and it automatically updates your status to let others know your in a meeting and until what time.

Slack review
My whole team uses Slack to communicate with each other, we have different channels where we find out about new company news, we also have private groups for different business areas. It is very useful, we can also link other applications, this makes it easier for us to remember meetings, presentations, among other things

Great place to talk and communicate to work colleags
We use it to talk to each other and share info, the product solved the problem we had using our private text apps, crossing the line between personal and professional life

I admit it, I love Slack.
We all work remotely around the globe. This is a great way for us to keep track of important documents, hop on a quick chat or just share in comraderie overall.
It keeps the work at home alone feelings at bay and helps us to collaborate easily and efficiently.
Pinning important posts keeps just what we need at our fingertips.
It’s easy to use, I can mute or block when I need time away. My only complaint is the mobile app doesn’t alert me every time a message comes in, causing me to reply later than I would sometimes like. Perhaps that’s user error.
Slack is the main communication tool inside Frubana. After it was implemented I was able to witness an increase in alignment and a decrease in meeting time a week. Slack is faster than email and allows you to easily create groups with contacts inside or even outside your company. It brought speed to communication. It is an essential tool for fast-growing companies

Great for collaboration, hopefully it'll replace email!
We use dedicated channels for specific projects and invite only those involved in that aspect or area rather than the whole team. We're able to share in-progress designs and decks to get feedback rather than via email. It also stores all files so we can reference previous versions or directly send files to team members. It can get cumbersome to find things but the search is great.

Great for our needs at this time. Second to none.
Slack is our main form of communication between our team internally and with our customers/clients. We use the features of Slack Connect to connect with our users at the companies we serve. We use Slack to quickly communicate with team members, share documents, integrate with other software products such as ClickUp, Front, and Google Workspace, and talk with our users directly in order to facilitate quick action. It's another tool we can use to meet our users where they are rather than relying on a singe communication line.

A great communication platform for remote companies
We use Slack for business communication within the organization. It helps us organize how we want to reach out to teams, and individuals. Options to communicate with a group, one on one, make calls, push alerts, and make reminders are all great features we need in daily work life and Slack does a great job of supporting that. Integration with tools like GitHub, Jira, CircleCI, Google Calendar, etc. makes lives easy and systems effective.

Slack - The Social-Media of Business organization
In my organization, Slack is been used especially for the communication purpose and exchanging of files. It's simple to use & the best platform to communicate in the organization. One can only chat or reply to a particular conversation by mentions in channels. No need to take any admin's permission to join channels. It can also be said the Social-Media of an organization. It's a comprehensive tool that every organization wants for meet & greets, project discussions, file transfers etc. It is said to be an excellent tool for any organization, but it can be a big move if they increase the upload & download speed as well.

Like a professional whatsapp
Slack is one of the easiest-to-use professional platforms. It is like a Corporate WhatsApp. The User interface of Slack is just so perfect. I have been using this platform for quite a long time and have never faced any sort of issue. Any one can easily use it without facing any difficulty.

My company uses Slack every day for employee communication. It is our main form of communication, especially as we are now fully remote. It provides an easy way to quickly get in contact with other employees. The many features of Slack help us stay organized as well as build culture with the many fun aspects of it. Integration is seamless and the app is also an awesome feature.

We use Slack to communicate effectively, and it helps our teams collaborate, interact, and secure device data syncs. It has alerts, audio calls, emojis, etc., which makes it great for groups, and we use it for individual and company-wide communication, entertainment, and props. Slack simplifies file sharing. Using channels simplifies group chats and integrates with applications like JIRA, which can post alerts and notifications into a channel for monitoring.
We have been using Slack as the only communication medium to interact internally with anyone in our organization, it is the most convenient method to interact and discuss. The huddle/call feature in the Slack is also an amazing feature which helps to get connected to any user instantly with great voice quality, also offering the screen sharing features. I must say that Slack has helped so much to simplify the interaction procedures with so cool interacting platform. We have been using this on daily basis to deal all type of issues to discuss and fix. The mobile, web and application versions also adds a great advantage to the users to stay connected anywhere and anytime. Overall it's the most amazing and high performing portal.

Great messaging platform at an affordable price.
Slack allows our company to effectively communicate internally between members of the team. Additionally we can communicate with other companies through Slack Connect. The software is robust and has functionality that allows us to set reminders, manage communication through various group threads, and integrates with many other important software in our tech stack. We haven't experienced many bugs or down time with the software. The dev team is committed to updates and making sure the software stays up and running at all times.
