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

"Tasks and team huddles are the most valuable features of Slack."
"It has not crashed once in three years, so I would say it's pretty good."
"In terms of setup, approaching its menu is simple."
"Slack's stability is exceptional."
"What I find valuable in Slack is that the interface is very attractive and it's easy for any new person to adapt to."
"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."
"Process made easy Collaboration between teams increased Productivity is now largely increased: top."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"The solution was stable."
"People share expertise and find solution faster while they are feeling to be part of the same team even if they work in different geo"
"Its most valuable features are the storyline and communities."
"The posting features are valuable."
"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."
"Yammer has allowed the entire company to be able to communicate with each other when the company has internal employees from all over the world."
"This product is very easy to use, and has been widely and easily adopted."
"We have been able to have multi-country project teams where members can interact in their own language."
 

Cons

"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"The excessive notifications and distracting nature keeps it from being a perfect solution for me."
"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."
"I have found it cumbersome to create and set up groups, or channels."
"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."
"There are a lot of features in Slack that I don't use, because I don't know about them."
"There is some lag at times."
"From my perspective, a disadvantage of Slack compared to Teams is that connecting between the apps can be a bit difficult."
"The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"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."
"If you are not an Office 365 shop, then there are probably better options (i.e., Slack, Facebook for Work)."
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"Navigation to different Yammer Groups could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Slack is definitely worth the money."
"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"The solution is expensive."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"The pricing is not bad."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"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."
