Overall Satisfaction with Slack

We are using it only within the development team for communication.
Its nbot very widly adopted through the organisation

Pros

  • Quick Communication
  • Keeping track on tasks
  • Cross companies communication with x teams

Cons

  • Integrations - its a bit of a alien inside our org only used by the dev team
  • I use it only because ei need to stay in touch with the dev team - I would prefer other communication channels
  • I don't think it has any business impacts its a basic tool that can be replaced
It sometimes not very easy to understand how to handle it -
Slack has a big fan community by developers - its a very geeky tool. I don't think it has any big benefits
