9 /10

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

Anyone can be contacted immediately not only within the organization but also from another organization. Documents can be shared without having to worry about their sizes. Easy and efficient collaboration has become possible which saves time and reduces anxiety.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Communicating with comrades and with people across an organization has become easier with Slack than it was with Gmail or any other platform. Channels can be created, muted, or notifications can be changed, hence making it easier to manage the messages according to one’s own preferences.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Only if there were an option to delete the submissions. Previously, I was able to do so but now I can’t do that anymore. Although, being able to schedule messages is a blessing in itself yet it would be great if one could schedule them to anytime instead of just 30 minutes ahead.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are searching for an effort less way to bring multiple teams/companies together on a single platform – that would ultimately be Slack. Being a user and a client, I can say that it has immense benefits.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Effective Service

Employees communicate well

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

It's a simple communication tool that everyone may utilize. It is hardly an exaggeration to claim that a company can no longer be performed without slack, as email communication with employees is tough. It provides a significant contribution to improving employee communication. An email could take up to ten minutes to compose, but it should not take longer than five minutes. As a result, quick communication is feasible, and overall corporate efficiency is increased. It also features a workflow function, which allows you to create recurring progress reports in the same manner without wasting time. This is actually quite beneficial.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

So far, it is the "ideal option" for internal communication. It is handy since it can be viewed from both a PC and a smartphone, and it can be adjusted project by project. It is especially simple to use as a communication tool from outside the firm because it may be launched directly from a smartphone (quick start-up). Furthermore, if you share the URL of the normal MTG meeting (zoom), you will be able to attend in Zoom via Slack, which is quite useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can attach data, however previous dates and times will be removed, thus I'd need the data to be kept for a longer length of time.I'd want to have the data stored for a longer period of time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The following issues have nearly been resolved with the advent of "Slack": 1: "Quick startup time." 2: "Easy to use, even on a smartphone" (Easy to view while on the go). 3: "It's simple to contact several folks." 4: "Easy to search time-series data for each case," This helps to save time for internal interaction. (This helps to shorten the time.) Installing Slack on your smartphone allows you to access it from outside the organization. (You are not required to restart your computer on a regular basis.)

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
