Overall Satisfaction with Slack
Slack was used worldwide by our small but growing team. We had users in China, Europe, India, the UK, the US, and South America using Slack for our daily stand-up (agile) meetings, file coordination and sharing, and messaging. We also invited vendors for products and services we were considering to join Slack as guest users to have interactive sales presentations too. We also kept all investors up to date with Slack meetings.
- Threading on messages
- Integration with other apps
- File sharing and search
- Better video support (was often glitchy, unlike Zoom)
- Better rule for enterprise version, where no private conversations are actually private
- Too easy to create many private rooms and have to search for which one was active
- Slack cut back on annoying emails and helped facilitate conversations among team members
- It also helped keep our team closer when we were physically separated
- Needs to warn employees that their convos are not private, as with casual chat it's easy to forget and say something negative that could impact someone's career
Slack was so simple to start using--super easy integrations with Jira, Sharepoint/OneDrive, and our PM tools--that it was a no-brainer. The video was glitchy, especially for any users who had iffy upload speeds (which isn't Slack's fault entirely, but they did not have as many issues with Zoom). Slack is an easy-to-use-and-understand tool, the learning curve is minimal, and your IT folks can integrate it directly or through Zapier.
