Overall Satisfaction with Slack

We are heavy users of Slack! It's a great way to connect easily and really fast with anyone. It's our preferred way of communication over email, 100%!
  • Connect
  • Set up meetings
  • Set up teams for specific projects
  • Make announcements
  • Some issues with notifications
  • Sometimes, it's easy to miss messages
  • Quick calls
  • Create channels per needs
  • Great to set reminders
  • Love all the connections with other apps
  • Easier and faster communication to tackle problems faster.
  • It's great to celebrate accomplishments and communicate them widely.
  • It's great for making quick announcements that everyone needs to be aware of.
I think Slack is way better for chatting than Google, 100%! I think Team works great, but it might be tricky to use at its fullest capacity. Slack is more intuitive and easy to adapt to workflows. It's great that you can connect even with people outside your organization because it makes working with external collaborators and stakeholders a lot easier.

Do you think Slack delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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

I think Slack is great for quick and easy communications, reaching out to a person, discussing something specific, and moving on. Great to create teams for specific projects. Might not be great to keep track of long projects, might need better PM software. It's great for a quick sync call.
