Overall Satisfaction with Slack

Slack is the core, consistent messaging program my organization uses on a daily basis as a global company. We also have larger channels for general communication from the company, whether that is leadership giving updates or congratulations, or places for individual workers to address concerns, as well as smaller channels for individual teams so we don't have to track email threads to each other.
We also have a number of integrations, and when asked to remove Slack for budgetary reasons, the integrations we have in place kept us from switching to more cost effective methods, just because the level of friction it would take to implement work-arounds and alternative methods of tracking different things were determined to be too many/difficult. We have integrations to our outage systems so people can receive the notifications via Slack, we have multiple customer feedback channels that pull from our NPS and website feedback so we don't have to worry about finding that feedback and collating it manually, its all just published right into a channel. This means we can respond within minutes to negative or confused feedback, to say nothing of easily creating engineering tickets from individual messages and working on fixes with very little friction to reporting.

Pros

  • Integrations with third party apps
  • Easy filtering and sorting of channels
  • Incredible flexibility in notification settings

Cons

  • Mark a whole conversation as unread instead of an individual message
  • Control of Reminders on For Later tasks
  • Sometimes notifications to mobile are either missing or duplicate. More detailed control of that would be nice.
  • Additional revenue generation because of response times from feedback tools.
  • Increased brand trust because everyone was on the same page for updates
There isn't one thing I would frankly change on usability that isn't difficult to overcome. Exporting threads or conversations for others would be nice, and marking a conversation unread instead of a single message would be decent, but these aren't impossible challenges to overcome manually by any means.
Teams is better to schedule meetings with and integrates with Outlook well, but that leads to duplicate notifications for things, which is distracting and a waste of time. Messaging in Teams not great compared to Slack, and has the potential to have people outside your organization reach out to you. Integrations are also harder to come by/more difficult to use comparatively.
Discord is just a security nightmare for corporate work and while it is very similar feels more casual compared to Slack.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Slack again?

Yes

Well suited: large organizations where cross collaboration is key. Instead of looping people in individually to an email thread, you can just add them to a channel and ask for insight/help. Multiple third party integrations. Ease of use. Way more intuitive than alternative options.

Less Appropriate: outside communication. Collaboration is nice within the org, but then you have to immediately copy and paste things to an email or other tool for outside org use.
