Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Enables engaging communication with interactive features but requires improvements in reliability and meeting functionalities
I use Slack for internal communication between my colleagues and me at my company The integration with Google Calendar is easy to use and allows us to receive notifications before meetings. Slack is also very interactive, as it includes options for communicating with GIFs and a variety of emojis,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."
"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"Its integration with different apps is a great feature."
"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."
"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."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"The most valuable feature for me was the different channels."
"Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack."
"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."
"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
 

Cons

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive."
"It could be more stable than one of its competitors."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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 affordable solution."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
