Pros

“Channels help keep discussions organized by project or department, file sharing is seamless, notifications can be customized to reduce distractions, and the powerful search feature makes it easy to retrieve older conversations.”

Emilia W.

Network Support Coordinator

“The intuitive interface, reliable performance, and wide range of integrations have helped streamline our daily workflows and improve productivity. While there are occasional challenges with managing large volumes of messages and notifications, the benefits far outweigh these minor drawbacks.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

“What I most like about Slack are the video call feature (Huddle) and screen-recording feature (which also allows you to record audio and camera with it).”

James W.

Salesforce Administrator

Pros

“It's also genuinely fun to use: custom emoji, threads, pinned messages, and a huge library of bots and integration mean you can shape a server around exactly how your group works. And the core product is free, with Nitro adding polish rather than gating anything essential.”

Mark B.

Manager

“The server-and-channel structure keeps conversations organized by topic instead of everything piling into one thread, and roles and permissions let you control who sees what without much fuss.”

Mark B.

Manager

“It replaced a group chat, a forum, and a voice call tool all at once, and after the initial setup it's needed almost no maintenance.”

Mark B.

Manager

Cons

“Notification management can also be challenging in active workspaces, leading to information overload if not carefully configured. While Slack offers powerful search capabilities, finding older conversations or specific files is not always as intuitive as it could be.”

Cristiano F.

Consultant

“The only time I get frustrated with it is when I need to invite partners (from external companies) into our workspace for targeted deal collaboration. When those folks come from organizations stuck with Teams, it's not easy to get them to adopt it for a limited time, even though it's easy enough to add them to the dedicated Slack workspace.”

Alicia R.

Director, Business Development

“Notifications can become overwhelming fast if you don't take time to configure them properly, and most people don't — which leads to either constant pinging or people muting everything and missing important messages.”

Enish S.

Business Administrator

Cons

“For me the most negative feature is it does not integrate with email seamlessly. When I'm communicating with clients I often have to copy-paste important information or approvals from discord to e-mail.”

Luis V.

Account Executive

“some advanced server customization options require a Nitro subscription, which for me is a drawback for smaller communities on a budget.”

Enish S.

Project Manager

“For me useless monetization like animated avatars, backgrounds etc.”

Damian G.

CEO CTO
