Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."
"It's a very robust product."
"The solution is pretty easy to use for the most part."
"The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"The most valuable feature is the "Alert Me", which provides the ability to set an alert when content is either added or changed and that the alerts can be either real-time or aggregated for the day or the week."
"The software is friendly to use for mixing data and analyzing it."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"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."
"I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams."
"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."
"Slack is a really easy collaboration tool to use and many companies are adopting this popular tool."
"I like the tool's ability to send voice mail. We can also search for conversations easily in Slack."
"Slack is a powerpack bundle of features that help small or large organizations to handle teams and their tasks."
"Slack provides very fast communication."
"Slack helps me to read bulk messages."
"The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."
"This solution is not very stable. It is useful to arrange data but it's not the best for big data. Sometimes we have issues with our reports as a result."
"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."
"The solution needs to be more collaborative. I believe they are just coming up with the themes for this right now."
"The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are."
"Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release."
"The solution needs to have more flexibility. The classic version had more flexibility, however, the modern version has many more limitations."
"The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
"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."
"I would like the in-meeting content sharing facility to be improved."
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"There could be a read function so that when you send a message, instead of the other person having to add a reaction, you know that the message went through."
"Slack's interface is not simple for me. It's not a user-friendly interface"
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
