Automation features and user-friendly interface support seamless communication
Slack is very supportive in terms of communication between my colleagues and clients. While working with the reimbursement feature, I found the automation capabilities on Slack to be incredibly useful, allowing me to automate messages for specific dates or times and even to greet someone on their birthday. I haven't specifically used the channel organization feature of Slack, as I am added to channels, but I use it with Airtable, which automates notifications to a specific Slack channel when a user fills out a form on our website. In my experience, Slack is a stable product for communication, and I appreciate its automation features and integration of AI capabilities for enhancing specific functions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product gives the best user experience."
"The solution makes it easy to create groups, share documents, and communicate."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"What I find valuable in Slack is that the interface is very attractive and it's easy for any new person to adapt to."
"Slack helps us keep the conversation focused and avoid multiple threads that create more confusion. I would say that has been the biggest advantage for us."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Slack's channel and chat management could be more intuitive."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"The solution’s initial setup is not very easy."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"We’d like it to have more capability for everyone to work on one doc in real time all at once."
"The tool has stability issues that need to be improved. We are not native English speakers and Slack needs to integrate grammar checks."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"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 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."
"It's on the more expensive side."
"The solution is cheap in my country."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
