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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Slack is that it is a great tool."
"Process made easy Collaboration between teams increased Productivity is now largely increased: top."
"Slack is just a communicator, no more."
"What I find valuable in Slack is that the interface is very attractive and it's easy for any new person to adapt to."
"The most valuable features of Slack are basic chatting, file sharing, and screen sharing."
"The product has the ability to scale."
"Increased collaboration between geographically distributed teams."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"I consider Yammer to be the best business collaborative tool."
"The solution was stable."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that anyone can post anything, it's free and people can do it on their own without having to translate to publish, and it's really easy to use."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
 

Cons

"Archiving for direct messages made tracking back conversations very difficult once the group started to grow large."
"I think the login feature needs to be improved most because I've been having an issue with logging in to the desktop app for more than six months, but still, it's not been resolved."
"Their notifications are generally not very prompt. There is a problem with their notification engine, and sometimes, I end up pressing on notifications."
"I believe they can improve upon ‘calling’, which was introduced recently."
"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."
"The way groups are created on slack could be improved. Once you create a group of people, you can't add additional people unless you convert it to a channel."
"Honestly, I feel like I am nitpicking when I say the UX can be improved."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
"I've found Team or Skype for Business are more useful than Yammer."
"I would say the whole experience was negative, so that is why we stopped using it."
"Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow."
"It looks slightly less clean on Chrome compared to Microsoft Edge, but it's a minor difference. There is room for improvement in user experience, like positions of elements."
"I would give the technical support a rating of 3/10."

"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
