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

The best part though, is that it is used offline. Not having to hook into the internet is fabulous for working on a story, article or novel.
I like how easy the software is to use. I think everything is laid out so clear and easy to understand that if your an expert or a novice user, you will be able to use the program with ease.
Its a best tool where we have more shortcuts, easier navigation. Very user friendly and I have good experience using this.

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

In my opinion, the only flaw in WordPerfect is its inability to handle Unicode character sets and double-byte characters (ie Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, etc).
Functionality is somewhat lacking compared to bigger, more established competitors although it's hard to criticise this overall.
The lack of a specific application for any vector graphics similar to OpenDraw or LibreDraw. Extended standard spreadsheet for engineering mathematics to spreadsheet Quattro Pro.

Better collaboration with Remote Teams. Communication is now instantaneous allowing rapid changes to Creatives and Code.

Pros

The ease of use and communication plus working simultaneously while "huddling" with coworkers on call.

Cons

Needs better integration with Microsoft Office and Google Suite and Libra Office.

Pros

Easy to use, lot's of good features, very stable. The product design - channels, teams, direct messages - works very well for the workplace. Integrations are great as well.

Cons

Video calling can be buggy. Slack can generally get distracting at the office, but that's more of an issue for the office than Slack.

Easy to Use, Hard to Implement

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Love how much easier this makes it to communicate with people within an office or from a remote office to home office.

Cons

Implementation was pain. We wanted to connect our Slack account with another business and there is definitely a way to do that but it was difficult to find information about and to get started.

It was easy to use. Ran on all devices. phone calls were clear over cell and over wifi.

Pros

Easy to use and we had a easy startup. Not much training required. Works on all devices. Easy to transfer files.

Cons

It was not easy to integrate with Microsoft office/outlook. It was required to have a office online account. This prevented us from using meeting/availability status.

Great collaboration tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

I love Slack. It's intuitive and easy to use but powerful at the same time. Yes, the fact that Microsoft Teams can integrate with the office suite seamlessly is convenient but I can live without that in exchange of a better and more reliable interface.

Pros

Great for working with distributed teams. Enables a digital workplace: people can feel as part of a team despite working remotely. Easy to use. Easy to organise projects into channels. Much better UX than Microsoft Teams.

Cons

It doesn't integrate with Microsoft Office like Microsoft Teams does (obviously).
