Overall Satisfaction with Slack
We used Slack at [...] School. We employ about 50 total employees - teachers, assistants, specialists, and administrative. The goal was to get everyone on the same page communication-wise. Also, we wanted to have groups that could keep track of the history of discussions regarding annual events. The employee who instituted the use of Slack had used it very successfully at a previous job.
Pros
- Communication can be tailored to the recipients.
- The dashboard let's you see what you need to deal with.
- You can message a group or an individual.
Cons
- Hard for some, non-tech employees.
- We didn't have 100% adoption of the tool.
- Debate between should this topic be a Slack message or an email?
- Positive: those who implemented it, really liked it.
- Negative: not 100% of our employees implemented it.
- Decrease in meetings because we used Slack.
- Some confusion/double work to email and Slack the message.
- ClickUp and Apache Hive
I like Slack better than ClickUp, because I would spend 30-60 minutes a day updating my ClickUp tasks. The way ClickUp was used was very micromanaging. I billed by the hour, so I was willing to put in the time to alert the boss what tasks I was working on.
One of my jobs used Hive - I mostly just ran it in the background in case anyone messaged me. I did not use it often.
