Overall Satisfaction with Slack
We use Slack for all internal communications. In addition to replacing email altogether, we have Slack channels for projects, recurring meetings, each team has its own channel for providing updates, and of course individual conversations. Canvases support projects, teammates or groups will often huddle in Slack instead of setting up a Zoom, social and affinity group channels keep people connected, and our bug triage is managed through a Slack channel with Jira integration. It would be hard to think of a process at my company that doesn't rely on and benefit from Slack.
Pros
- Provides a super simple way for stakeholder groups to stay up to date on projects with which they are not directly involved
- Lets a project group collaborate easily on day-to-day tasks while keeping track of decisions and docs
- Integrations with Jira, Loom, Asana, etc minimize mindless tasks
Cons
- I would appreciate a bit more flexibility on notification preferences.
- The ability to "pin" chats to a centralized location rather than just in place.
- Enables projects teams to recapture 3-5 hours of meeting time each week.
- Automations around bug submissions save 3-5 hours weekly for our TPMs and business analysts
- Product teams can quickly and broadly provide insights, updates or gather feedback without needing to meet.
To me, there is no competition between Slack and Microsoft Teams. In my opinion, Slack crushes MS Teams in every regard and is a pleasure to use. I think MS Teams on the surface looks like it has a comparable feature set, but when you actually USE the app, there's no question: Slack dominates for usability and ease.
