Real-time collaboration has transformed daily team communication and shared document workflows
I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds. It's time-consuming. I would prefer if any documents or files we share with Google Chat Workspace could be smoother, similar to Zoom. That is my preference for improvement.

Threaded collaboration has transformed how our team tracks tickets and monitors automation updates
One suggestion I would make for improving Slack Business - Enterprise is the support of multimedia such as images and videos that we can easily share through Slack. That would be great. Additionally, another thing is AI integration; if Slack has some AI capabilities to get insights about conversations or summarization, that would be a great feature. If Slack has an AI feature that can summarize a particular Slack thread and provide a summary of that, that would be a great feature for us. I would rate it a ten if it comes with some AI features, particularly using generative AI to produce summarization and other kinds of insights from communication in a more secure, data-secure way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am working with multiple users in the same sheet at the same time, which is really amazing for all of us because we are working from different places but in the same sheet at the same time."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it."
"It is a great product and the mobile app is a big plus."
"Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack."
"Slack Business - Enterprise is beneficial for us primarily because the API was very beneficial, and that is the main one; the second benefit would probably be the upgrades they do, including integrating some AI and allowing customization of chats in categories."
"In the cases where it fits best with the team, Slack can be a replacement and enhancement to collaboration, increased productivity, and reduced clutter in email."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"The most valuable feature is the screen sharing, which works well."
 

Cons

"I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds."
"Sometimes Slack behaves unexpectedly and shuts down without notification or support communication."
"For me, the only thing I can say is that every time somebody sent me an attachment, the attachment was listed somewhere, and then I had to open the conversation and go to the individual to open it. So there is no handy repository or an easy way to quickly look at attachments. For me, that was a bit difficult."
"One suggestion I would make for improving Slack Business - Enterprise is the support of multimedia such as images and videos that we can easily share through Slack."
"Slack's screen sharing might also add the remote control feature, which is not there."
"Better ways to help people get up to date when away from a conversation for a long time, or after bursts of a particular discussion."
"Slack's interface is not simple for me. It's not a user-friendly interface"
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"The product crashes when I use it on the desktop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an affordable solution."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"The pricing can range up to about twenty bucks a user. You can spend a lot of money, especially if you're talking about thousands of users. Generally speaking, Slack is less expensive than Teams. Slack doesn't include all the bells and whistles that Teams does. So you can go from a $6 license in Microsoft 365 to a $50 license per user per month, and there's a lot more you can do in the $50 license."

What do you like most about Slack?
Nowadays, we don't need to visit an HR portal. Our marketing and human resources teams directly share details about birthdays, upcoming events, and important dates in Slack. Whether it's a training...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Slack?
I am not aware of pricing, setup costs, or licensing, due to my company's partnership with Slack.

I am uncertain how Slack Business - Enterprise can be improved. Better notification controls, improved threading, and more integrations are all good features that seem relevant.
