Slack Reviews

Mac version built into Safari has a lot of informative space and allows for custom CSS (right click > inspect elements) if you want it more personal and/or something puts you off in the standard settings.

Tons of integrations and bots makes it unique.

Inter-department communication in wizarding world relies on paper planes while muggles can easily manage everything with Slack ;)

Readability. It's disputed but HipChat is winning this battle due to the larger reading screen space.

No.

No.

No.

Excellent.

Good.

Yes.

Switched from HipChat.

Offers more freedom with search. More integrations.

Straightforward.

In-house.

Start with the free version first.

• Code snippets
• Group chat
• Notification snoozing

Messages are well organized and attachments are not removed from our channels. It’s easy to search for a message through their search functionality. It has improved my company by letting our team work efficiently together and quickly.

I would like to have meeting functionality within Slack.

I have used it for six months.

I have not encountered any stability issues. The program is stable, especially on Linux, which is a major plus.

We use a small team-based approach, so scalability has not been an issue.

The APIs are good and their tech support is decent at responding to questions.

I previously used HipChat and the new company I work for uses Slack.

Initial setup was a simple and straightforward.

Pricing is not bad at all.

Before choosing this product, a few evaluations were made, but Slack seemed to be the one that fit our company’s culture the best.

Use what works best for your team and what your team knows best.

Having group chats and one-on-one chats in one place makes Slack conventient. It's fairly simple to get used to. Also, the cross platform experience between mobile app, desktop app, and web version is impressively smooth. 

More often than not, members of our team are on the go rather than in the office. With Slack we have increased communication between teams which has improved executions of complex interdepartmental procedures.

There is some lag at times. Also, would prefer video chat functionality built in rather than as an add-on. 

Two years.

Nope. Only colleague resistance on certain teams. 

A bit of lag as mentioned. 

Haven't experienced a customer support representative. Site help docs are fairly strong. 

Extremely straightforward. 

Yes. We tried Skype, Viber, Gchat. 

There is a built-in cuteness factor with animated gif options as commentary. 

We primarily use it for sharing official documents and compositions instead of using platforms like WhatsApp. Although we haven't utilized it for meetings, the main purpose behind creating and using it is to streamline the sharing of official information within our team.

It allows to facilitate communication, allowing us to create channels for updates, file sharing, and photo sharing within our team profiles.

Integrating Slack with calendar functions would be advantageous, allowing for the seamless scheduling of meetings within the platform.

I have been using it for two months now.

I would rate the stability eight out of ten.

Its scalability is evident in its ability to handle a varying number of users, channels, and integrations, making it suitable for businesses of different sizes and complexities. I would rate it eight out of ten.

We previously employed Google Workspace. Slack provides visibility into the online status of team members when the application is active, it doesn't track users outside of the platform. Unlike some other tools, such as Gmail, where your online status isn't visible to others when you're using it, Slack primarily serves as a communication and collaboration platform.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

We use the tool to communicate with the design team, and exchange links, and code needs. I use it for collaborating with outside spaces. 

I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams. 

The tool is a bit slow. 

I have been using the product for six years. 

The product is a bit slow but stable. 

Slack is scalable. 

Teams is a Microsoft product and not free. You have to buy a 365 account and everyone cannot do that. Slack has a facility to avail free accounts. 

Slack's setup is easy. The product does not require any maintenance. 

There are no licensing costs associated with the solution. 

I would rate Slack a five out of ten. 

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. Then, I need to spend on the mode.

Another thing I love is that you can create different teams on Slack, and you have to give each team a legal name and use an icon. The icons on Slack are beautiful. I especially like the variety of icons available on PeerSpot. Another aspect of Slack is the ability to edit your profile picture. It's a visual icon that you can personalize. Yes, you can bring in your own picture and set it as your profile picture. It's a nice feature.

Also, when it comes to emails, you can navigate your email through Slack. If you have an incoming email, Slack will notify you.

If you have an upcoming meeting, Slack will notify you, or it can notify you about your meetings. I like that feature. Additionally, you can connect other applications like Asana and Trello to Slack. That's how you integrate all those applications into Slack. Then there's SMAX. I've used SMAX before. 

If you want to communicate with your team without using Google or Google Meet, all you need to do is send them a message on Slack. You can hold a call with them. The network usage of Slack is super cool compared to using Google. The networking aspect of Slack is excellent. Also, my friend mentioned that if you want to organize your day-to-day activities, you can create schedules within Slack.

Occasionally, we do experience network issues when trying to log in on Slack. However, I believe it's only happened once. It's not a recurring problem.

.

Slack is a stable solution. I have only experienced one network issue so far, but apart from that, I haven't faced any other problems.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

It is super easy to navigate on Slack. So, the initial setup is easy.

One thing I appreciate about Slack is that when there's new information or a request from Excel, based on your settings, a notification pops up and informs you that a new update has been added to the team. It's called "Wish It," and it's really helpful for my work. I love that feature. 

Additionally, if you need to save any important information, you can easily do so. Even if you accidentally close the app, the information is still there, which is really cool. Personally, if I were to rate it, I would give Slack a solid ten out of ten. Initially, when I logged into my system, I received notifications for all the information and feedback from the team I needed to access. It automatically directs me to what I need to see.

I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the application, especially its features. Personally, I haven't explored all the features, but some of my friends have, and they highly recommend them. Slack has a lot of useful information and features that you can benefit from. Additionally, you can even create side calls or group calls for your team, like after a game or after work, which is super fun.

I use it if I want to search for information from Kubernetes communities, and then I chat with someone who already has knowledge or knows about Kubernetes. I use it to talk to people using other software like Kubernetes.

It is a really trendy tool for uploading information with cutting-edge technology. I can browse all the information to find what I want to really know.

In comparison to Teams or other tools, Slack's interface is not simple for me. It's not a user-friendly interface.

I have been using Slack for almost three months. I am using its cloud version. I just downloaded it from the internet as a third-party solution or software. I am a user of the solution.

The engineers in their department use Slack. Around 50 engineers use Slack.

In terms of setup, approaching its menu is simple. However, when I went to click and change the account, I was confused regarding whether it was proceeding or not.

It is an expensive tool. We pay 15 to 20 USD monthly per user.

I suggest those planning to use Slack to get another social network software such as Teams or Chanty, a tool used in South Korea, are very good. I think Chanty is used in South Korea, especially in the IT sector of Korea.

I rate the overall solution a six out of ten.

We used the solution to communicate within the team and with other people outside the company. We only used the solution for chatting.

The solution's most valuable feature is the search functionality, which I can use to search for full text.

The solution’s initial setup is not very easy.

I have been using Slack for two years.

The solution has a very high stability.

I rate the solution’s stability ten out of ten.

Around 40 people used the solution in my organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

I have previously used Microsoft Teams.

You need an administrator and must create a team to implement the solution, which is far too much to do.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a three out of ten.

The solution has increased our productivity.

I used the latest version of Slack. It was easy to transfer files over Slack. We used it to send gifts or messages related to the job.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
