Slack Software Reviews

Pros

Adding channels is simple, sending private messages is easy and the interface feels very clean and polished.

Cons

The notification system could be simplified a bit more and made more user-friendly to use.

“Lively vibe”

Pros

Using it feels really simple and the whole platform has a fun, lively vibe.

Cons

I still haven't been able to figure out how to add memes to my messages and the support page hasn't been much help with that.

“Handy third-party integrations”

Pros

Bringing third-party tools directly into company chats is really useful and helps keep everything in one place.

Cons

Sometimes there are frustrating usability issues when trying to add people from outside the organization into a group chat.

“Online meetings in few clicks”

Pros

I love using it. The newly added video conferencing feature has been especially useful since I can start and run online meetings in just a few clicks.

Cons

it hasn't let me down at all and I appreciate that the vendor keeps the system updated on a regular basis.

“Mobile conferencing from anywhere”

Pros

Cons

I haven't run into any major issues or anything overwhelming while using it.

“Video calls have been a great addition”

Pros

I really enjoy that it includes video conferencing which wasn't available when I first rolled it out. That addition has been a really pleasant improvement.

Cons

No downsides with it in more than two years. The vendor continues to improve and update the tool all the time.

“Practical solution for remote work”

Pros

Working with colleagues remotely feels much more practical with it because it's very simple to use. The integrations are also a big plus and add a lot of value.

Cons

It's difficult to point out many drawbacks. If anything, the way search results are sorted across all channels could be a bit more organized.

“Easy to operate”

Pros

Easy to operate, the interface is polished and it really helps teams collaborate better and stay connected throughout the workday.

Cons

The dark mode feels a little too high-contrast at times so it would be helpful to have settings that let users adjust it.

Pros

Daily teamwork has become much more efficient with this tool because it improves real-time collaboration across our organization and helps boost productivity. It also includes audio and video conferencing which lets me manage online meetings without needing a separate platform.

Cons

It has consistently met everything I need it to do and I rely on it every single day without any issues.

“Must-have app for workplace communication”

Pros

it has become my go-to app for workplace communication. The interface feels very user-friendly and having multiple workspaces in one place is a huge plus. Switching between them is simple and quick and I never have to sign out just to move from one workplace to another.

Cons

I don't have any real complaints about it. It's been an excellent program for what I need.

“Simple to locate channels and chats”

Pros

Everything feels well organized and it's simple to locate the right channels and chats without wasting time.

Cons

Notifications often don't show up so we end up having to open the app constantly just to check whether anything important came in.

“Used everywhere”

Pros

Across my organization, it is used everywhere because it brings team collaboration and online meetings together in one central place.

Its features have never felt difficult to use even when new ones are introduced and the vendor usually supports them with free webinars.

Cons

I've had a really positive experience using it so I don't have any dislikes to mention.

Pros

Right away, it feels simple to use and the uncluttered design makes it comfortable to look at without feeling visually overwhelming. I also really appreciate how it keeps lists, files and other content separated which makes everything feel more organized.

Cons

The thread system can be a little confusing at times and it is not always quick to locate the exact place where I was tagged.

“Ability to edit messages”

Pros

Being able to edit messages quickly is a big plus. Posting anonymously is simple, there are plenty of groups to join and tracking down a link in a chat works really well. Overall, the search features are solid and make the platform very convenient to use.

Cons

Lately, I haven't run into any problems or negative experiences while using it.

“Polished design”

Pros

The overall design feels polished and being able to run multiple workspaces at the same time is especially useful.

Cons

The paid plan feels overpriced and it doesn't really deliver enough extra value to make the upgrade feel worthwhile.

“BIM, live chat, video conferencing”

Pros

Having everything gathered in one platform really cuts down the need to rely on outside app integrations. BIM, live chat, video conferencing and file sharing are some of the standout features it offers and they work really well together.

Cons

After using it for more than 8 years, I've appreciated how consistently the vendor continues to roll out new features and improvements.

“Separate settings for each channel”

Pros

It has a clean, simple interface that makes it pleasant to use. The emoji and GIF options make conversations feel more lively and having separate settings for each channel especially notifications, is really useful.

Cons

Some direct messages seem to disappear and aren't always easy to access. The conversation history usually comes back if I start a new chat but I have to do that first just to see it again.
