Cons
"The solution should have less frequent updates.""The solution needs to improve its scalability.""The tool has stability issues that need to be improved. We are not native English speakers and Slack needs to integrate grammar checks.""We’d like it to have more capability for everyone to work on one doc in real time all at once.""It is difficult to navigate the tool when I log in to two devices and start a video call.""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.""The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly.""Slack tends to crash once a month."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
  • "It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
  • "Slack is definitely worth the money."
  • "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."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
  • "The solution is cheap in my country."
  • "It's on the more expensive side."
