Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm using Slack now with two of my existing clients. One from Australia and one from the US but currently based in Singapore. Slack helps to group our messaging accordingly and retrieve messages to a certain point. I love using Slack because it removes the noise that's available on Skype.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Slack allows you to focus on work-related messages only.
Slack allows you to notify relevant people who're part of a channel or group messaging.
Slack gives you to the ability to track back your previous messages to the group or to a particular person.

Cons

Slack should improve it's video call features. It had failed many times based on my experience.
Slack should include options so the sender will see if the person messaged have seen the message or not yet.
Slack should improve it's current user interface too so it looks better.

Return on Investment

Slack allowed the entire team to communicate better and focus on project communication only.
Slack give us a better way of communicating through group chats and move faster on project fulfillment.
Slack made our chat communication better than ever.

Alternatives Considered

Skype

Slack removes all the noise existing in Skype. On my Skype lots of different contacts and from different clients do exist and create confusion at times. Unlike with Slack, you know that you are in the right Slack team and you know who are the people you are dealing with.

Other Software Used

Google Drive

Likelihood to Recommend

Slack is very appropriate for team or company messaging. It allows the entire team to be updated and in the loop for any updates. However, it's usually good for chatting purposes. Their voice and video call features are not that good based on my experience.
