Slack Software Reviews

“Channels keep discussions on track”

Pros

Everything feels really well organized, channels keep discussions on track and integrations with tools like Google Drive and Calendar help me keep up with work without having to leave the app.

Cons

It can get a little overwhelming when you're part of a lot of channels or multiple workspaces especially if notifications aren't set up carefully.

“User-friendly private team chats”

Pros

it felt very user-friendly to use and it made chatting with several people at the same time in a private conversation really convenient.

Cons

The plans are a bit pricey although I understand the platform needs revenue to keep everything running properly.

“Similar to Discord”

Pros

Getting started with it is simple and it feels a lot like Discord. You can also follow hashtags to keep up with the specific content you want to see.

Cons

The interface doesn't really do anything unique. At the end of the day, it mostly feels like a more professional version of Discord.

“Tricky layout”

Pros

Setting up chat groups and sharing information is a simple way to keep everyone connected and informed.

Cons

The interface feels confusing to navigate and it is not very user-friendly to use.

“Offers a lot of value”

Pros

It feels very user-friendly to use and communication through it is fast and efficient. The channel-based collaboration works really well for organizing conversations and creating or managing workflows is simple. Features like reminders are also genuinely helpful and overall it brings a lot of value in many different ways.

Cons

notifications can get distracting. If I miss the first few messages in a channel, I would much rather receive fewer follow-up alerts instead of constant notifications from every member. I also do not really like having to mute notifications all the time or keep marking myself as "in a meeting" repeatedly.

“Brilliant Huddle video call feature”

Pros

Being able to message anyone at the office, whether one-on-one or in a group, is really useful and the Huddle video call feature makes quick meetings convenient too.

Cons

if I don't send a private message to someone for a while, that conversation thread ends up getting hidden.

“Mobile access keeps work moving”

Pros

Ability to use both the mobile app and the web version is a big plus but I rely on the mobile app even more. It's very user-friendly and lets me stay on top of things while I'm out or traveling, whether that's handling approvals, responding to requests or starting conversations and huddles without having to sit in front of my laptop or use a webcam.

Cons

The search feature has been frustrating lately. It seems like it was updated or changed somehow and now it's much harder to locate specific files, conversations or messages. I've recently lost track of important records because of it and that has definitely slowed down my workflow.

“Outstanding team collaboration hub”

Pros

It works really well for team communication. I can join different channels and collaborate with my co-workers without any hassle.

Cons

notifications can get pretty annoying.

“Handy chat access anywhere”

Pros

Being able to use it both online and through the app is really convenient. It's simple to navigate and the free version already covers a lot of useful features.

Cons

An issue comes up when managing multiple accounts, notifications don't always arrive for every account and they often only show up for the one that's currently open.

“Lightweight communication tool”

Pros

It feels lightweight and user-friendly as a communication tool. The workflow integrations are especially helpful for automation and the audio call quality is better than what I've had with other tools like MS Teams.

Cons

Lately, I've noticed the app has had more downtime than before and it tends to lag when a lot of messages are queued up.

“Strong collaboration across teams”

Pros

Working with teammates feels very natural in it and collaborating with people in different locations is really simple.

Cons

Getting everything set up can be a bit fiddly and the pricing starts to feel quite expensive. The free plan is also limiting since it doesn't support meetings with multiple participants.

“Favorite for file sharing”

Pros

Out of all the tools I use, this one is still my favorite because it lets me share files and documents directly in channels quickly and without any hassle. I've been using it for years and I still really love it.

Cons

I honestly don't have anything negative to say. It's a fantastic platform and I'm not missing anything or running into any issues to dislike right now.

“Modular channels and custom tools”

Pros

It's channel setup feels really flexible and being able to bring custom tools right into a channel is a big plus.

Cons

Native GIF support would make it even better especially since our users love using them.

“Helpful for my team's communication”

Pros

Been really helpful for my team's communication. It's nice that there's a free version and it lets us connect with coworkers through text, pictures, audio and video all in one place.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues at all while using it.

“Useful option to schedule messages”

Pros

It is the best tool I've used for internal messaging and communication. It's very user-friendly, packed with useful features and connects well with a long list of other tools. Being able to search within specific channels works really well and the option to schedule messages is especially convenient.

Cons

Keeping up with all the notifications can feel overwhelming at times.

“Improves real-time communication”

Pros

Improves real-time communication through chat and direct messages. It also connects well with a wide range of third-party tools which makes it even more useful. Searching through files and past conversations is simple and sharing files with teammates is just as convenient.

Cons

It makes team communication and collaboration feel effortless so I honestly do not have any complaints.

“Handles direct messaging and file sharing”

Pros

It has been incredibly useful for staying in touch with coworkers. Direct messaging, file sharing and the ability to mention anyone across different spaces make collaboration really convenient.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues to point out. It does exactly what I need for team communication and works very well.

“working together made efficient”

Pros

It keeps team communication and collaboration happening in real time which makes working together much more efficient.

Cons

Honestly, I don't have any complaints. The customizable notifications and workflow options make it even better to use.

“Love the channel setup”

Pros

Organizes conversations into different channels which makes it simple to find the right groups, almost like being in a real office in real time, lol. The interface is also very user-friendly and pleasant to use.

Cons

It has such an amazing, friendly interface that honestly there is nothing I dislike about it.

“Amazing interface”

Pros

Slack has a really clean interface so getting around the platform feels very simple. It's also highly customizable which makes it simple to set things up the way that works best for your team. Another big plus is being able to keep communication with both internal staff and external partners all in one place.

Cons

Amount of notification spam takes some effort to control through Slack's settings or by creating extra rules in your email platform. Also some of the more advanced features are locked behind the paid plans.
