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

"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"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."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"For projects, it's improved how we share files."
"Slack offers several valuable features. Firstly, they have a message deletion feature, which is now available in other software as well, but Slack was the one who introduced it in enterprise solutions."
"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is communication between team members."
"It has not crashed once in three years, so I would say it's pretty good."
"The solution has a great user interface and functionalities. It has good features that we can use. We can integrate any third-party application with Slack so that it provides you with insights and updates in real-time on Slack itself."
"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 custom integration or bespoke integration through Slack APIs is the primary reason that we are still on Slack Business - Enterprise and we have never thought of migrating to any other vendors or exploring any other vendor."
 

Cons

"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"It would be highly advantageous if it could incorporate calendar information from sources like Outlook or Gmail, providing users not only with meeting schedules but also a comprehensive daily agenda view."
"The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly."
"They could improve the calling quality."
"I believe they can improve upon ‘calling’, which was introduced recently."
"According to my observation, a large size file sharing feature is what can be expected, which will centralize all activities within Slack and that can save a lot of time."
"The tool should be able to fetch a conversation when we search for it even if it is in the thread."
"The product should provide integration with other solutions like Gmail or Outlook."
"The product crashes when I use it on the desktop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive."
"It is an affordable solution."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
