Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Slack has yet to be accepted by the whole organization, but I am using it in my interactions with the teams that I work with. I use it for agendas, scheduling meeting times, setting polls, and coordinating events for the teams I work with. Slack addresses the mass communication within a team along with simple scheduling tasks that integrate multiple peoples calendar.
  • Passes along messages and allows for easy communication.
  • Integrates schedules to perfectly fit meetings in.
  • Has good reminders and notifications that allow you to know what is going on.
  • Easy to remember coding schemes for polls and asking questions.
  • It has a slow startup speed
  • It lingers in the background and has latency
  • Too many different reminders. Be more subtle
Google Hangouts doesn't integrate calendars and scheduling like Slack does.
Great for team integration and communication.
