The speed of opening files and folders is too slow and can be very frustrating
It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces. It's just cumbersome because the files and folders take a while to open. So that's the only issue I have. The rest of the solution is relatively user friendly. The deployment is relatively fast. From creating a brand new workspace to actually using it can be done within a day, depending on how complex it is. I know within our organization they are basically forcing us now to move away from our servers to Vibe. That started in July and there has been a significant change over to Vibe. So it's still new but for a big organization like ours, it's actually impressive how quickly people moved over to Vibe. We did the installation and deployment ourselves and, as an end user, it's been relatively user friendly. It doesn't take long to get familiar with the program, and if you know how it works, it becomes relatively easy to set up a workspace and save documents and edit it.

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

"What I like most about this solution, is the fact that I can access it anywhere and customize it to my needs."
"We were able to centralize all customer data: files, discussions and technical notes."
"HTML and JSP elements are the most valuable features."
"There were no stability issues; it just works."
"Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required."
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"The features that I found most useful were being able to see who made changes to a document, where the document was in the chain of command, and being able to leave comments to make the process more collaborative."
"It has improved my company by letting our team work efficiently together and quickly."
"I like the tool's ability to send voice mail. We can also search for conversations easily in Slack."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"One thing I like about Slack is the ability to change the color of Slack. It depends on my mood. When I'm having a bright day, I just change the background color of my Slack, which is nice."
"Slack is just a communicator, no more."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams."
"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."
 

Cons

"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"You have to press the BACK button at least three times till it will go back to the previous page. This is something that must be improved."
"The following issues need some attention: better integration with MS Office suite, more flexibility in customizing the colors and themes, custom forms and workflows are powerful, but the interface needs revamping to be easier to work with."
"While we were working on implementing this product, the entire system crashed and we had to reinstall it from a previous version."
"The end user experience could be improved; some functions are a little too complicated for the average user."
"One thing that really needs to improve, is opening files or folders. It takes much longer than when you are getting it to Windows Explorer on the desktop."
"The user interface can be changed to 'look' more like a Microsoft one since this will help market the product more."
"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."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"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."
"Threaded discussion needs improving."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an affordable solution."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
