Overall Satisfaction with Slack
Slack is being used as an internal tool to communicate with others within the network to coordinate meetings, campaign planning and brainstorming and even general chat.
- Slack allows you to create team-specific channels very easily. These channels can be either private (to those invited) or public (open for all in the network)
- Slack has a very good Gif and emoji creation feature
- It's easy to create polls and votes
- Missing out on messages on group channel can be annoying as they do not show up unless they are addressed to all or to you specifically
- Groups can be custom named which gives a sense of belonging
- Chats are mostly streamlined with a good feature that allows to start smaller threads with those in a group chat.
Slack is more preferable for the younger generation as it has a less corporate feel to it, as well as multiple features such as the gif, poll and emoji creation, that helps to make chatting about work more enjoyable.
