Overall Satisfaction with Slack

I use Slack in an organization I am a part of. We have committees, sub-committees, and a general board, amongst other different groupings of volunteers which all need to communicate amongst themselves independently and as well as on an all-inclusive level. We use Slack in the planning of large conventions, but find it so helpful and useful during the commission of these large-scale conventions and all the events and meetings that take place during the conference. This allows for us to communicate with several people without asking them to disclose their personal phone number but while still allowing them quick and easy access to this communication from their cell phones.

Pros

  • Allows for the upload of documents, like maps, registration forms, etc.
  • Allows for grouping and sub-grouping of users for the purposes of communication.
  • Alerts the user(s) to new messages and ongoing communications.

Cons

  • Battery usage. For my purposes we use this app non-stop over several weeks and constantly over the course of a 5-day period. The amount of battery usage it takes, makes it difficult to move from event to event within the convention without having your charger strapped to your person.
  • Using this product for a completely self-supporting self-help group, I find the product is of great value and works for what we need at little to no cost at all for our self-help anonymous organization.
I would like to see it take less battery life so we could sustain constant use over the course of a conference without being strapped to our chargers.

Do you think Slack delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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?

Yes

Event planning, during the transmission of the event, and post event feedback sharing.

This might be less appropriate in very small groups, as it may just overcomplicate the communication streams in teams of 10 or less, where it may just add another place to have to monitor for email/text/changes, etc.
