Overall Satisfaction with Slack
We use Slack for collaboration between teams, but especially when part of a team is outside the organization. There are a lot of great chat and collaboration tools out there, but Slack is the easiest when not everyone is internal. The ease of pinning, channels and search all make it perfect for this. It’s also easy to add and eject users from your channel. Bonus: the Slash commands and shortcuts are great to work with.
- Collaboration.
- Organization.
- Shortcuts.
- Logging into multiple organizational chats at once.
- Better file repository.
- Easier archive of chat history.
- Occasionally being redirected to web for login/preferences is wonky.
- Collaboration with Third Parties.
- Access Controls.
- Separate Channels.
- Slack has saved us from many meetings with vendors/contractors because of how easily we can collaborate.
- Teams that communicate well grow together and become more efficient.
- If Slack is being used as a one-off, it’s just another app that has to be kept updated.
For overall internal team collaboration, Slack can’t compete with Microsoft Teams and its integrations. But when it comes to easily collaborate with colleagues outside of your organization, Slack’s ease of use, organizational features and ability to let you connect to multiple organizations’ Slack channels make it stand out as a great communication and collaboration resource. When comparing Slack to Cisco Jabber for text-based communication, I don’t even consider them in the same league. Slack is a far superior product. Basecamp may have some advantages over Slack in the project management space, but Slack pulls ahead via its ease of use, slicker interface and Slash commands.
