Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Communication is the key to the success of any project/product. We are using Slack throughout the organization to overcome the communication gap between different departments and to collaborate on different projects. We are using different integrations to facilitate our deployment of the codebase and to get the notifications of upcoming meetings, etc.
  • Create the public/private channels
  • Add reminders about different tasks
  • Integrations of different bots
  • Sometimes file sharing takes a lot of time to upload
  • Video stream looks slow to me
  • Collaboration on different features is very easy
  • Create a group chat with different people or create a channel
  • Keyboard shortcuts save a lot of time
  • HipChat (discontinued) and Skype
Due to the notification systems of the other tools, we shifted to Slack. Sometimes HipChat was showing duplicate messages and sometimes the order was messed up. Similarly with Skype, if the other guy is online then the message was delivered but if not, they did not have a good notification system.

Do you think Slack delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did implementation of Slack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Slack again?

Yes

To collaborate on projects when different teams are working from different locations is very easy with Slack. It's the sender's call to either notify the recipient at night time or just message the recipient, and (s)he will be notified within the time range the user has provided in settings.
