Twitter vs Slack Comparison

in my employment, I mostly use it to track marketing campaigns by competitors, all of whom are very active with new offers and suchlike on Twitter. It's really to get notified when our competitors tweet, and it provides an invaluable insight into their marketing campaigns for us. I really like how easy it is to track the activity of a given account, and getting immediate notificaiton when they tweet.

I'd really like to be able to link Twitter to my slack application - ie notify me when a competitor tweets, through slack, so I can quickly share it with my department and take action from there, rather than opening twitter, clicking share and going from there.

It’s like twitter for group collaboration and most people know how to use twitter.

Not intuitive initially but once you learn how to use hashtags and subgroups, it’s a wonderful tool.

Best way to communicate with a company. It’s like a Twitter for your team.

Desktop version is less user friendly than the app.

It allows me to have channels, it's easy to search in the conversation history, and the integration it has with DevOps tools is both easy to use and feature packed.

I learn about service outages or issues first by reading twitter complaints than by the official channels.

What i like most about slack is its interface and channel views. I think it's very fluid and more organized than Microsoft teams.

I hate how you have to install features such as sharing a twitter link or a link to a google doc. Just simply preview the link. There's no need to have a slackbot message tell me to download the twitter or google doc installation.

It is fast, I it easy to share docs and pictures also links from twitter and facebook.

I don't like when Slack deleting old messages

I really like the channel concept of the slack.. i think for beginners the name channel is confusing but it's OK after using the slack I really like it and I am personally using while freelancing work.

As per my suggestion, Direct option of Facebook, Twitter and other social media should be there while inviting people.

It is very easy for collaboration within the organization. Very to easy to maintain and follow across the teams

This is not as good as facebook or twitter as this takes time for us to adjust with the software

I like how Slack connects teams from across the world in real-time and has a free plan with unlimited users.

I dislike how slow the connection can be at times and the unreliability of the platform (See: @SlackStatus on Twitter).

Saves countless back and forth emails! Enables uploading of media, integrates well with Trello, Dropbox, Google Drive, Twitter.

Lacks real business production features like bug/task assignment and tracking. I could see pulling more Trello-like features into Slack. Also, image markup functionality would be great! Native integration of videoconferencing would also be nice vs triggering of Zoom. Could use better notification when people leave or new people join a team. File versioning, like the kind Box uses, would also be great.

My family used this to put out info on a trip next year and it was nice to have everyone in one spot.

It’s hard to use, too many tabs and options, like Facebook and twitter had an ugly love child that doesn’t speak.

easy to utilize and a nice way to communicate without having to send an email. also i like that it has an app so it is easily accessible

too similar to twitter and while easily accessible via mobile app it is too accessible and constantly keeps you at work

Great tool for teammates communications and interactions, have a friendly graphic enviroment and allows integration with Twitter, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Doesn't allow video calls, doesn't show the last time online or active of the users, is not a software to storage critic or important information, because is more useful for instant messages only.

The things I like most are: - easy to use - instant messaging services are an easy way to chat in the office

The things I like the least are: - it posts all of our twitter feed to the chat so you get notifications about it

Slack is very easy to use and Millennial friendly. It takes elements from popular apps like IG, FB and twitter. With slack you are able to post status's , take photos, upload documents and video chat in various rooms. Very similar to twitter , and vey different at the same time. However very effective , fun and easy to use.

There is no back feature. If you use back feature on phone it will exit out of the app. Have to keep pressing slack icon to return back to channels or chats.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

Slack allows my team to come together quickly and efficiently to discuss stories, and agree on direction, wiping out hours of back and forth email nonsense.

It's way too easy to get sucked into Slack and spend too much time chatting and not enough time working.

Cost is a big plus. Great to set up different channels for different clients and be able to know which client a conversation is in reference to without having to sort through chat messages, emails, etc.

Conforms to the twitter #hashtag method of naming channels. Would be nice to have greater ability to customize channel names and to us capital letters.

Have a friendly environment, it is very easy to use and allows integration with Twitter (the best for me) and cloud services as Dropbox and GDrive.

This is a software just for chat, must improve and add more functionalities.

I like the #feature where you can find relevant things on your topic. If someone were to really like Twitter, I can see them liking Slack.

I think that it can be confusing at times to find exactly what you are searching for. Things could be buried away in #'s and other linked tags that are hard to find.

Slack is very capable and can be enhanced and energized by a stunning array of bots, apps and extensions. Heavy users are sure to find lots of ways to use their Slack "channels."

Slack offers a very unique user experience—imagine using Twitter or SMS for all of your communications in your organization. If that sounds like a nightmare—well, it can be.

Slack let's you have a social network with your co-workers that also works as an email and casual meetings replacement.

It really requires you to be logged in at all times to be effective and useful, can get a while to really get used to it.

The app is simple to use. It is feature rich. You can integrate other apps like google drive, twitter, etc. You can share files. Create channels for different topics.

There are many features which are not very easy to find. 1 more thing which I did not like is that you can not kick a member from a channel. You can only add a member. The only way is for the person to leave the group.

Slack is a great messaging tool for teams. Channel creation is a great feature because you can discuss relevant topics only with people who have an interest in that topic. The free version of Slack is great and highly recommended. Slack also allowed me to synchronize with the Android app of Slack on my phone when I'm out of the office, I can receive and send messages from the phone without problems. There are also some great bots that you can integrate, for example a twitter bot that sends a message to a channel, every time a twitter account sends a twitter. There are also reminder bots, meeting bots and much more.

What I like least about Slack is the integrated call application. The calls are not of very good quality and it is preferable to use other options such as Skype or Hangouts.

Quickly create collaboration spaces between team members, clients, vendors, partner teams. Plus the channels across interests makes keeping up with the latest in those areas easier than platforms like Twitter, LinkIn, etc.

To get the most from Slack, you need to take advantage of the integrations, and that means having to manage updates. If you have the free version, you'll run out of space quickly.

This software is great for communication among my classmates when doing group projects. I'm able to keep my social life separate from school life, so I don't get distracted on Facebook or Twitter.

It's hard to get people to start using it, because most students haven't heard of it, but once they try it, they seem to like it.
