Overall Satisfaction with Slack
Slack is used by all teams in the organization to facilitate communication within each team and across teams. We are a 100% remote company, and Slack improves our communication almost to the level of face-to-face. The software development team uses Slack to coordinate work, ask questions of the product owner, ask technical questions of each other, and to receive notifications from integrated apps like Circle CI, github, Pivotal Tracker, and our applications themselves. Other teams uses Slack extensively to coordinate work and communicate within the team and also with outside collaborators.
Pros
- Easy, quick communication across all devices, no matter where you are.
- Integration with other critical tools, like CircleCI, Pivotal Tracker, GitHub, etc.
- Shared, searchable memory of past conversations.
- Secure communication.
- Uploading and sharing images and other files easily.
Cons
- Honestly, I can't think of anything except maybe more emoticons.
- Faster, clearer communication means the teams are more effective at creating the best possible products, by getting immediate answers to hundreds of questions daily.
- As a remote team, Slack is our best culture-building tool.
