Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Slack is used across the whole organization for communicating with every professional. It is the easiest way to discuss work tasks.
  • When discussing, you can attach images. Slack gives enough space for files to share.
  • You can create a separate chat for each topic.
  • There is integration with a large number of external services like Trello.
  • Each team member receives notifications only about those messages that are addressed specifically to him.
  • API as a whole is very poor. API does not provide the ability to customize widgets in the chat.
  • Linux clients use memory very intensively.
  • Proprietary application (not free for distribution).
  • Simplifies communication.
  • Speeds up work on projects.
  • Saves money and nerves.
More tools for work, information gathering. Slack could be set up for a couple of minutes monitoring anything. For example, consider the likes of Facebook. Skype is just for communication.
Communicating in Slack, we can discuss with a texturing artist some questions about the 3D Character, in the process of discussion, which raises a question to the Modeler. And you can just call him to take part in the discussion - "@Modeler, have you done the Character?". He gets a call directly to himself, can read the history of our correspondence and clearly respond.
