Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Being a remote-first company, we rely on a quick line of communication with our co-workers who are all around the globe. Additionally, the integrations and 'bonus' functionality (besides being a chat service) have allowed me to send videos, and files, have quick verbal chats (through their huddle feature) and even remind me about messages that were sent. I can also see when we get new submissions from a Zapier connection and create channels for focused collaboration among different departments. It's an incredibly valuable productivity service.
  • Well thought out chat service for 1:1s.
  • Allows for collaboration among bigger groups via channels.
  • Syncs well with calendars to keep you on pace and allow others to know your availability.
  • I'd like to see further ways to organize my chats. Right now, it's very linear. Maybe folders inside folders.
  • Being able to transfer any videos recorded in Slack between slack conversations without downloading and uploading. Aka, a Slack link for the video (like loom).
  • A cheat sheet of available commands (like starting a zoom chat) --I'd love to know what all my company has enabled.
  • Channels
  • Huddles
  • Slack chat reminders.
  • Adding people into the conversation with the option for them to see the previous conversations. LOVE THIS.
  • Quicker turnaround on responses.
  • Better customer experience for our customers due to easy access to team members.
More flexibility and matches our culture better. Slack has a lot of personality and customizability, which can include open channels, locked channels, slack bots, integrations, gifs, and emojis. We also are not a Microsoft shop; we are a google shop. With Google, slack integrates well with our calendars and fits in with usage. Slack was an obvious go-to for our company.

Did implementation of Slack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Slack again?

Yes

Slack is extremely appropriate for remote work or a widespread user base. I could see where this might be less useful for smaller organizations that do not collaborate with partners and have only a single location. However, with multiple locations or employees working from home, Slack provides a quick and easy way to get in touch with your colleagues during work hours.
