Slack is used as a communication tool and a project management tool that is very useful in our company. it helps with communication and meeting deadlines on time. we use it as a good reminder to help us get our work done on time and more effectively with efficiency and less noise.

Pros and Cons

Good communication

A little too many users
More channel management
Can control organization size a little better made to departmentalize

Return on Investment

Team oriented.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business (formerly Lync), now part of Microsoft Teams and Asana

Slack is very good compared to many other tools and I feel that it is much better and user-friendly than other platforms that I have used. slack is good with communicating and a majority of our projects come out with great success and very few options for room for improvement

Likelihood to Recommend

Slack is very suited for smaller teams to work together and used for small departments or specific goals. I feel that it can be used across an organization however it lacks the ability for the whole organization to be on it at the same time. it is very useful for organizing a town hall but with a small section of people.

Slack a good project management tool
