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.
Slack is well suited to creating discussions when it relates to planning, campaigns or socially.
