Slack's stability is a perfect 10.
Occasionally, Slack behaves unexpectedly and shuts down, which can be irritating, especially when I am in the middle of a task.
 

Room For Improvement

Slack Business needs improved video, integration, performance, security, scalability, and user-friendliness with better pricing for freelancers.
Technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies.
There is a feature missing where if content is created on the UAT environment and needs to be transferred or synced to the production environment, there is no direct way of doing the sync.
Many people complain about the price as it's one of the most expensive tools.
We can also improve the creation of channels, particularly in terms of privacy, security, flexibility, and the addition of members to newly created channels.
Configuring chats and pinning in Teams is easier, even though Slack has these features, they are not intuitive enough to engage with.
There is a need to add a call group feature to facilitate scheduling and conducting meetings within Slack.
 

Setup Cost

The best feature is the experience fragment. If you want to replicate content across multiple websites with 1,000 or 20,000 pages, this feature helps accomplish it in a fraction of seconds.
In my experience, Slack is a stable product for communication, and I appreciate its automation features and integration of AI capabilities for enhancing specific functions.
In managing releases via Slack channels, one major advantage over Teams is the ability to have threaded discussions, which helps in catching up on relevant discussions without the distraction of interleaved conversations.
The integration with Google Calendar is easy to use and allows us to receive notifications before meetings.

Impressive integration of customer behavior with an easy setup and okay support
I've worked with all major content management systems. Currently, I work with the leaders such as Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, and Acquia Working with big companies, I help them either consider setting up a new content management system or address issues they might have with their existing…
Awais Mehmood - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation features and user-friendly interface support seamless communication
Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients. While working with the reimbursement feature, I found the automation capabilities on Slack to be incredibly useful, allowing me to automate messages for specific dates or times and even to greet someone on their birthday. I haven't specifically used the channel organization feature of Slack, as I am added to channels, but I use it with Airtable, which automates notifications to a specific Slack channel when a user fills out a form on our website. In my experience, Slack is a stable product for communication, and I appreciate its automation features and integration of AI capabilities for enhancing specific functions.
