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.

Offers good integration features but needs to offer more flexibility in the language option offered
There are a couple of things that can be improved in the tool. When we are talking about communications, the tool has interoperable cataloging. The only thing that needs a certain level of improvement within Meta is the vernacular, which can be dependent, as we cannot choose the process of communication that is happening in it. After I launch a bot, if I move from one country to another, and if the entire communication is happening in German, while I have just moved from France, and I need to buy a particular choice of vehicle, then I would want the entire communication to happen in my language. What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation. If I want to have a conversation in French, there is a very limited selection. Until and unless a conversation is triggered from a particular language, we do not have the option to choose another language. The tool gives you flexibility in the language, but that is on the business and not on the customer, which sometimes limits the approachability aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initially I thought it cannot be better than Skype, but after working with it for a while I can definitely confirm it is a great tool for collaboration."
"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."
"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."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients."
"We are given an overview of our system status, and we are able to respond quickly to infrastructure events, marketing events, customer service events, etc."
"If you're looking for an asynchronous/real-time communications tool, you will not find any app that comes close to Slack."
"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."
"The tool's integration feature benefited the workflow...it helped centralize communication."
"The product was easy to use."
"The biggest lesson we have learned from working with Workplace is that we should have made the change a lot earlier."
"The solution is used as a knowledge platform for sharing knowledge and information that everybody can easily access."
"Storage is the best thing about the solution."
"A full-featured collaboration tool that is as easy to use as Facebook."
 

Cons

"In Slack, there are areas for accessibility improvements."
"When showing screens during calls, the screen sharing functionality is not as smooth as Google's offering. It appears to be designed for short calls, which limits its effectiveness for longer sessions."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"I would like to be able to notify users that they have messages that need their immediate attention."
"I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner."
"There seems to be several minutes of delay between getting notifications on the Mac OS app and then receiving them on the iPhone app."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"Sometimes, the servers are not available."
"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"The implementation could be made easier."
"The conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap in my country."
"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 an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"The regular package costs us $4 per user per month."
"The cost has become one-tenth of the cost in comparison to the old techniques. As we were able to qualify and nurture these leads, the overall cost of the entire sales process was reduced."
"The solution seemed expensive to me."
