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

"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"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 platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"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."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"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."
"For projects, it's improved how we share files."
"Slack is just a communicator, no more."
"Slack helps me to read bulk messages."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity."
"Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"Tried to find information about advance settings for notifications, but did not find what I was looking for."
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"I believe they can improve upon ‘calling’, which was introduced recently."
"In terms of drawbacks or areas for improvement in Slack Business - Enterprise, maybe some small things could be better, such as coloring text; if the API could support HTML, that would be great, but I think there are reasons why they do not support HTML."
"From my perspective, a disadvantage of Slack compared to Teams is that connecting between the apps can be a bit difficult."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is an affordable solution."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"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."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
