Improved communication for Salesforce users
Overall Satisfaction with Chatter
We use it for some of our projects and also to help clients that use Chatter extensively. Chatter is typically used by our clients to discuss the status of records among team members. For example, if there are interesting updates about a customer, a contact, or an opportunity.
So some typical examples are:
Company XYZ: I visited the client in December 2017. They are growing at a fast pace and are likely to be acquired by a Fortune 500 company
Contact Jane Smith: Jane reports to the CEO and is a critical decision maker for our product.
Opportunity Sale of machinery: This could be a quick win for us. Although this is a small Opportunity in terms of revenue, long-term strategic business is high.

Skype is used more for audio calls. Chatter is used to track updates on items of interest in Salesforce. Chatter is deeply integrated with other Salesforce products. No other competing products come close. Slack is a traditional project management tool. So it does not compete with Chatter. Because of its close integration with Salesforce, it is a unique tool for Salesforce users.
