Quotes from Members

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

"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."

"I am impressed with the product's calls and screen share features which are very useful."

"The product gives the best user experience."

More Slack pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."

"Slack tends to crash once a month."

"Slack's Canvas feature could be improved in terms of its user experience."

"The video calling experience on Slack needs improvement."

"The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly."

"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."

"In Slack, there are areas for accessibility improvements."

"The notifications on the phone are delayed."

More Slack cons

"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version that does not have a license."

"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."

"The solution is expensive."

"It is an affordable solution."

"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 expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."

"Slack is definitely worth the money."

More Slack pricing and cost advice

"It is a cost-efficient solution."
