Overall Satisfaction with Slack

We use Slack for 90% of our internal communication - we use it for 1:1 messaging, for group messaging and have a number of fun, non-work related channels as well. It's a great way to share all sorts of documents, quotes and images with one another.
  • Allows me to keep personal and professional communication private.
  • Allows me to quickly communicate with exactly the people I need.
  • Allows me to send all sorts of documents and media with ease.
  • Too many channels and things get confusing.
  • Navigation can be smoother.
  • So many plugins and options but you don't always know what is possible.
  • Makes communication easy for remote teams.
  • Allows team members to show personality.
Slack is more than just a communication tool - its an organization tool as well and it helps keep my teams and thoughts all in the right place. It scales up effectively as your org grows which is really helpful. It also includes enough features to make it fun and let people's personalities show through.

Do you think Slack delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Slack's feature set?

Yes

Did Slack live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Slack go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Slack again?

Yes

In my previous org my team tried to switch from WhatsApp to Slack and it didn't work - it has to be something a whole org embraces to make it valuable. I went from not understanding the point to loving Slack. It is especially valuable for someone like me who works across so many different teams.
