It has been a really effective way to stay on top of my work and communicate quickly with both coworkers and managers.

“Built-in calls are fantastic”

Pros

One of the best updates has been the new VC feature since it lets me run online meetings directly inside the platform without needing to connect any outside web conferencing tools.

Since I began using it, I honestly haven't run into any drawbacks at all.

“Covers everything I need”

Pros

From day one, it has covered pretty much everything I need, the emojis, huddles, keyboard shortcuts, reminder notifications, integrations and the overall way it keeps team communication fast and connected.

Cons

when it stays open in the background, it can occasionally slow down my PC.

“Instant updates across channels”

Pros

Keeping up with every part of my work is much faster with it especially since I can organize conversations into different channels based on the type of task. It helps everything stay separated and updated in real time.

Cons

There end up being too many sub-channels and that can make the interface feel a bit overwhelming to navigate.

“Clean interface and handy integrations”

Pros

The interface feels really user-friendly and being able to assign specific rooms to certain members is very useful. The integrated apps also make everything more convenient in one place.

Cons

Every now and then the connection acts up and I have to restart the app before my messages come through properly.

“Responsive interface”

Pros

It is simple to use, practical and incredibly user-friendly. The interface is clean and simple and it responds quickly during use.

Cons

it can freeze up or crash.

“Practical solution for our small business”

Pros

This has been a really practical way for our small business to organize conversations by group and keep everyone aligned on what needs to get done.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues with it. It also connects perfectly with our CRM so I don't have any complaints.

“helps us get accurate information to customers”

Pros

It makes it simple to reach the right people in the right channels which helps us get accurate information to customers quickly.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about it.

“conversations stay well organized”

Pros

Using it on both my phone and desktop is really convenient and the conversations stay well organized which makes communication much easier to keep up with.

Cons

The security features feel a bit limited for a messaging app.

“Broad set of features for remote work”

Pros

Having everything in one place has been a big plus. It brings together a broad set of features for remote work, BIM, video meetings and internal communication within a single integrated platform.

Cons

Since I began using it, I haven't run into any issues that have caused problems.

“User-friendly communication tool”

Pros

It feels like a very user-friendly communication tool for the workplace and it goes well beyond just direct messages and channel chats. It also lets you create to-do lists, set up reminder automations and connect with almost every other tool your team already uses.

Cons

Threads can be a bit confusing and don't always feel user-friendly for everyone. Getting the most out of Slack also takes a shift in company habits and culture which can make full adoption challenging. On top of that, notifications can start to feel cluttered.

“Can use it on my phone”

Pros

Getting started with it was simple, the setup was quick and it's convenient that I can use it on my phone as well.

Cons

The version I used seemed to be missing calling features so I wasn't able to make calls with it.

“ability to message teammates directly”

Pros

Being able to message teammates directly and keep conversations organized with threaded replies inside each message makes communication really effective.

Cons

It can take new users a while to get comfortable with it especially when trying to understand the difference between direct messages and group channels.

“Lets me contact my team from anywhere”

Pros

Ability to stay in touch with my team from anywhere is a huge plus and the shared channels make it really useful for communicating with teams outside our immediate business as well.

Cons

There isn't much to complain about. I've noticed a few small bugs with the iOS app notification badge but they're pretty minor and don't take away from it being an excellent tool.

“Effective updates”

Pros

Having separate channels for different topics helps our team share updates more effectively and keeps communication organized.

Cons

Notifications sometimes don't come through when someone posts an update.

“quick and efficient communication”

Pros

The interface feels clean and organized and the real-time messaging keeps team communication quick and efficient.

Cons

Pricing can be a bit high for smaller teams and the free plan comes with noticeable limitations.

“Simple communication”

Pros

Communicating with people was really simple and the way everything is arranged feels very organized.

Cons

At certain times, the layout can be a bit tricky to navigate.

“Clean design and quick access”

Pros

Getting into the platform is really convenient and the design has a look and feel that I genuinely enjoy.

Cons

The call filters are pretty dull and not very engaging.

“Effortless transition between devices”

Pros

Switching between devices feels effortless and the convenience has been a huge plus. It has become an essential tool for both me and my team.

Cons

Constant prompt about what comes with a paid subscription is annoying especially when it appears right in the conversation thread. The extra features do sound worthwhile but the pricing is too expensive for a small business. If the cost were lower, I would absolutely pay for the added services.
