Pros

The best features of Slack are its innovative interface and easy to use features. Slack makes it simple, and even kind of fun, to communicate with your coworkers quickly.
I like the different slack channels for various departments, tech-support, team, individual messaging, and celebrating my teams successes or helping each other out with account challenges.
Slack has been a winner for me no matter which role I am filling. Teams adopt it quickly it's easy to use, easy to set up, and has abundant opportunities for integrations.

Pros

It's super easy to use and straightforward. Very intuitive interface to interact with and works like a charm.
This is a great program that allows you to truly connect with your team and friends, the price is great and free.
I love that the app runs from the browser and does not need to be installed on the PC. I also love that it does not have a time limit and is very easy to use.

Cons

While they are only visible to me, I am always worried that I accidentally posted something wrong.
I disliked the inability to make a public group "private" after it's creation. Would occasionally lag and my.
I hate hate hate how often I struggle with using the video share and audio when someone calls me on slack. It almost never works for me.

Cons

I hate that when I'm presenting, I can no longer see the person I'm talking to. And I wish it automatically opened a new window rather than just a tab that can get lost if I have too many open.
I had many fake accounts from Africa try to entice me into lovers scams. Since rebranding, to Google meet it has been hacked twice this week.
I dislike seeing it when people are presenting something because it is a distraction and gets in the way of the display.

Couldn't run our business without it.

Pros

We love the chat, groups for collaboration, file share and ad hoc video calls. The product was an institution before COVID when we were all in the office together and now that we are remote/office hybrid it is a life saver.

Cons

Video conferencing was tempermental so we use Google Meet more for that, but it may have improved.

Couldn't work remotely without Slack

Slack helps keep communication between me and my coworkers where I am able to work just as efficiently remotely as though I were in the office.

Pros

Working remotely, Slack is necessary for me to keep in contact with the company, both between the other designers as well as the sales reps.

Cons

The call feature doesn't feel fully integrated well. We usually just opt for a normal phone call or using Google Meet for video calls.

Good Team Communication Tool

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall, I find Slack to be an excellent product for communicating and organizing in the workplace.

Pros

I like the user friendly and easy to use interface of Slack, especially the wealth of important productivity tools built in, like videoconferencing features, the ability to ping and group messages by topic and group, and the useful add-ons like the ability to link Slack with Outlook Calendar and Airflow.

Cons

Overall the video conferencing software in Slack is very hit or miss, with it comparing unfavorably compared to competing services like Zoom and Google Meet. Slack is also missing other productivity tools like word processing functions and centralized file sharing, making it more of a tool than an enterprise setup.

A Underrated Tool With Huge Potential

Reviewed 4 years ago

My overall experience with Slack is very positive. I could not live without it and it definitely improves my productivity during my working day. As a tool, I believe it has the potential to become a "true" tech giant.

Pros

I love that it functions both in a way that meets both the social and professional needs of our team. I feel that it is a tool that I think that it is a tool that should be valued more. The ability to integrate apps into Slack allows it to go beyond just a simple messaging tool.

Cons

I would really love an inbuilt video call function to allow me to meet with other colleagues, without utilising other platforms.

Free company chat that is lagging behind Slack

Reviewed 6 years ago

We use Google Hangouts, although we are starting to use it less and less. It is part of the G Suite subscription we have, so everyone in the company has it. It works quickly and reliably, and also has video chat. But, we are moving over to Slack more and more, as it has more features like threaded replies and emojis, which we found useful to keep up morale and as a less noisy way to respond to issues.

Pros

It comes with Google Suite so everyone in the company has access to it, and they are automatically in the company directory.

Cons

It is lagging beind Slack. Slack have added lots of useful features, like threaded replies and emojis, and Google Hangouts is showing its age and not really updated.

Pros

I really like having google hangouts and email all in one spot. I also like the ability to get alerts on my phone and respond on my phone as well

Cons

I don't think it has as much to offer as Slack does.

We use it as our office communication tool

Reviewed 6 years ago

This is an optimal replacement to Slack for our official communication.

Pros

The best thing about this application is its super easy user-interface, followed by its efficiency. We use Google Hangout for our office communication and I for one haven't been disappointed with it even for once. Highly recommended.

Cons

I never really got to understand the History On/Off feature.

Hangouts to Go

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall this is useful software for daily meetups and for calls. It has integration with Slack so you can even make hangout group call inside Slack channel. It's very useful.

Pros

This is great chatting messaging software, mostly used to be for business meetings, it has professionaly designed group call feature. I use this on weekly meetings. It's also has great feature to dial to cell phones, and it's free inside USA and Canada.

Cons

I don't mind any serious cons only know that soon dialing and out calls will be stopped and time to time looses connection with in call.
