Awais Mehmood - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"You can create channels between teams internally and externally, which is great. There is a lot of security with Slack internal, which is what I value."
"Slack's stability is exceptional."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"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 video calling experience on Slack needs improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"We do experience issues when trying to log in on Slack."
"Slack does not have videoconferencing capabilities, which would have been nice."
"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."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
"The product should provide integration with other solutions like Gmail or Outlook."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"We use the free version that does not have a license."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
