Overall Satisfaction with Slack
I use Slack in two different organizations I work in. We use it for Core Team communications and then sub-groups for other areas of the business. The core problems Slack addresses is having an instant communication channel to share information and company updates. Being able to share and process information in a central hub offers a lot more efficiencies compared to using email.
- Sharing Information
- Sharing Documentation (like attachments)
- Providing instant alerts for new messages
- Sending DMs to team members
- Seach filters for finding old information
- Finding unread alerts can be tricky
- Seperation of posts
- Confusion on features of free / paid plans
- Positive - Quicker decisions made more efficiently
- Positive - Scheduling and agile comms
- Positive - collaborative feedback
- Negative - can be a distraction!
Slack is the only real dedicated product we have used of its kind. We have used chat on Microsoft Teams, but Slack is far superior in its functionality and ease of use. Slack offers an instant chat / communication eperience which is far superior to any tool I have used like it. It is built for collaberation, rather than being an afterthought, which is why we chose to use it.
