Overall Satisfaction with Slack

I used Slack in both past business and current , At Tech click, Slack is an integral part of our team it is great for the project management team with virtual workspace for remote meetings which is essential as we are an ANZ operation and with different time zones we need this specific product and it also helps us stay connected on the move in Taxis or at airports etc using our phones

Pros

  • integration tools e.g. google drive
  • facilitates real time comms
  • helps enable remote work support
  • team collaboration enhanced

Cons

  • search functionality
  • channel organising
  • saving items
  • productivity increasing
  • learning curve for new starters
  • distraction outside of work hours
  • strong internet dependant
  • security of internal sharing to external
i would say it is amazing and very easy to use but the start up feels there is little learning options and support and security is not the greatest in my opinion i would like a feature to showcase more security
Slack offers better chat then Google Chat for mobile devices AWS the Slack chat bot is more informative and efficient to use Azure dev ops and Slack are great to have side by side

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?

Yes

Would you buy Slack again?

specific scenario it is suited is incident response timing the response time and precision is very good , but the less appropriate aspect is data security posture is not great
