Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Slack is being used across our department (technology) and is being reviewed for company-wide [use].
It allows teams to collaborate/communicate asynchronously instead of relying on being online/offline with Jabber.
  • Plugin integration
  • Chatrooms
  • Private messaging
  • Larger gif uploads
  • Trying to do large code snippets with ``` is sometimes cumbersome
  • Great teamwork communication
  • ChatOps
  • Metrics from servers
We chose this over Jabber products because it's more than a chat program, it lets us integrate products with it such as Amazon metrics, etc.
It seems to always be well suited for communication. It takes what's good about IRC and gets rid of running servers.
