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.”
EW

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 allows me to organise and share information in a visually appealing way, making learning more interactive for students.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Karen S.

Teacher

“As a school teacher, Padlet is an exceptional resource that is extremely versatile. Whether it's just posting assignments, showcasing work, student networking, padlet does it all.”
MN

Minh N.

Teacher

“It helps me interact more with my students, increase their participation, and make my classes more dynamic and engaging.”
JE

Jesus E.

teacher

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.”
CF

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Alicia R.

Director, Business Development

“The lack of proper conditional logic (if/then branching) is frustrating. If you want to build complex, multi-step flows with different outcomes based on user input, the native builder just can't handle it.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Denis M.

Recruiter

Cons

“The only thing is that when I change the cover of a slide show that is connected it is not represented.”
JM

Jamie M.

teacher

“I know the free version has some limitations because I can't use all the features.”
JE

Jesus E.

teacher

“Sometimes it can also feel slightly cluttered if too many people are posting at the same time”
