Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Slack and others in Enterprise Social Software."We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is communication between team members."
"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"You can create channels between teams internally and externally, which is great. There is a lot of security with Slack internal, which is what I value."
"The portal is at its best version now."
"Slack helps us keep the conversation focused and avoid multiple threads that create more confusion. I would say that has been the biggest advantage for us."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"It's valuable for announcements and communicating between team members."
"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 event, a company-wide gathering, or a social event, all the information is shared there. This keeps us all updated."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"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."
"We could see improvement in Slack by having an integrated meeting tool. Currently, we rely on third-party integration tools like Zoom to schedule meetings. It would be much more convenient to schedule meetings directly within Slack without additional integrations. It needs to have calendar and CRM integrations as well."
"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
"Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice."
