Slack is the top choice for teams to communicate. It provides a virtual workspace that helps teams maintain open communication in a business environment. With Slack, users can host voice and video calls with up to 15 participants and even screen share with a desktop app, empowering better user interaction. Slack also supports options for private and group sessions, and one of its best features is Slack Huddles–an informal meeting space that lets you directly talk to your channel where you can share screen side by side with your team. The platform integrates well with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Trello as well.

I love that they introduce voicenotes and huddles. That was not apart of the platform 3 years ago and it has now made life very easy. I also love that it has a bunch of integrations.
Currently, I do not have any complaints.
This is how my team and I communicate instantly since we work in a virtual environment. I love that it saves all my messages and I can scroll back to messages that I sent almost 3 years ago.
In my previous three organizations, I have been using slack for nearly a decade. Currently, through Slack Huddle, it is possible to enhance video conferencing.
I can't afford to despise Slack, with it's introduction of video conferencing it beats all the other BIM tools.
Instant messaging and chat is the main benefit that I have been enjoying all along before video conferencing was introduced.
I loved Slack to discuss important touchpoints and collaborate with team members and the best part is that we can use it on mobile as well and feels very friendly to use along with integrations like Workast which makes it easy to follow-up on tasks

It's a great way to break down silos of information across a company, as well as providing more ways of being social in a remote environment. I especially like the option features to organize channels into categories. This makes it much easier for me to track the most important information for my role.
It can be distracting, and requires extra effort to create norms and expectations for communication. New hires are not always comfortable with the tool and need help learning how to get the most out of it, without feeling overwhelmed.
As a great tool for internal communication, both 1:1 and in groups, it enables my email to be mostly focused on external clients. That really helps me "sort the noise" in my email and prioritize external communication easily.
Slack integrates with a wide range of third-party apps and services, including project management tools, file-sharing services, and productivity apps. This extensibility enhances workflow efficiency by centralizing information and actions. Slack makes it simple to share files, documents, images, and other media directly within conversations. Users can collaborate on files without leaving the platform, which streamlines workflows.
Slack's notifications can be frequent, potentially leading to interruptions and reduced productivity, especially if not managed effectively. While Slack has robust security features, organizations that deal with sensitive or confidential information may have concerns about data privacy, even though Slack offers enterprise-level security controls.
Many businesses use Slack integrations and apps to manage tasks and projects. It allows teams to set up channels dedicated to specific projects, share task lists, and integrate with project management tools like Asana, Trello, or Jira for streamlined project workflows. Slack can reduce email overload by providing a more efficient way to handle internal communication. Less time spent on managing emails can lead to improved productivity.
Slack allows you to create channels for different teams, projects, or topics. This organized structure makes it easy to find and track relevant conversations. Slack's powerful search feature allows users to quickly locate past messages, files, and conversations, which is especially valuable for retrieving information or referring to previous discussions.
Slack's pricing can be relatively high for larger teams and organizations, especially when using advanced features or integrations. This cost can be a concern for budget-conscious businesses.
Slack enhances communication and collaboration within teams and across departments. It provides a centralized platform where employees can easily exchange messages, share files, and collaborate on projects, reducing the need for lengthy email chains and promoting real-time communication.
Ever since high school, I have been using Slack when it didn't have video conferencing capabilities. I like that it makes it possible to create unlimited communication channels at no added cost.
Kudos to the vendor for incorporating video conferencing tools - It is now flawless.
I relish a lot with Slack, at workstation and from home. I like that it allows me to send large files online, improve team collaboration and in turn increase ROI. Video conferencing via Slack huddle is another thing that I gain.
Slack is the backbone of BIM in my organization. It help me send large files online. In addition, it makes it a breeze to carry out video conferencing.
Need I say something really, Slack accomplishes all my needs when it comes to instant messaging and chat.
Business instant messaging and chat. Cloud file sharing. Real-time video conferencing.
The surreal simplicity of the platform makes workspace communication practically effortless. Channel creation and management isn't hard to figure out and the platform aesthetics are visually appealing.
No major dislikes, just a few issues with the platform reloading on start up. That can be fixed in settings, other than that, the platform runs very smoothly with no problems.
Slack streamlines the work process by providing compact communication channels and video conferencing options that make efficiency easy to attain and workflow management easy to manage.
The instant messaging with my remote team
Call quality could be improved, but it's ok
It allows me to chat with my team, who work remotely and video conference quickly as needed. I also am part of several Development groups with my peers.
The collaborative nature is definitely the most likable feature in Slack.
Refresh rate can be a bit slow at times.
Remote teams face difficulties in maintaining a sense of connectivity and alignment due to geographical dispersion. Slack helps remote teams stay connected through real-time communication, video calls, and shared channels. This fosters a sense of collaboration and teamwork even when team members are not physically present in the same location.
Communications are already filtered and on subject. Integrates with the apps we use daily. Now if a app does npt integrate with Slack, we look for something else
Logging in can be a bit of a pain for non PC or Mac users
Not having to search emails to see what was said or agreed or having to remember to CC someone. Tempers have been reduced when working remote
clear and concise interface with tons of features to express ideas verbally.
convoluted interface and a lack to ease in joining.
I can share my ideas to large groups of people from my organizzation.
You can have channels, company and non-company people
Limitations of free versión and some features are so genZ
Comunícate with external providers with some projects
It's very user friendly, you can also find information and tutorials easily. The integrations, such as Lessonly is outstanding since employees can receive notifications from Lessonly without opening the platform.
It can be quite pricy to purchase. The free version has great features though. Also, sometimes the notifications via email don't work sometimes but everything else works fine.
Having clients from different parts of the world can be challening but Slack is an app that several people are familiar with and it's popular, meaning it's an app that we can use as part of our communication.
Its easily integratable and easy to communicate with staff
nothing i really like the platform and ease of use
SLack makes it easy to message with staff and plan
Gets the job done in terms of team collaboration, huddles and so on. Images shared on slack don't lose their quality and that's one of the major reasons why we use it at the company I work at.
When I copy paste text from another platform to Slack, the emojis get converted to text which I strongly dislike and find irritating
We use it for team meetings and collaborations. Slack is also a great place to create channels for particular teams like 'Sales', 'Marketing' etc where we can communicate things to the right people without disturbing everyone on the team.
Slack makes it easier to be intouch with my colleagues and to give and get updates from the things that we are working on. It is also a good platform whenever I need to get support from my colleagues.
Although it is easy to naviagte and use the platform, I need to be extra careful when using it because once I send something, I cannot edit it or undone it anymore.
Because of slack, I can easily report things to my colleagues whenever there is an issue that needs to be escalated at work. And since it is real time, I also get a response easily. It is also easy to track my messages and the replies to my messages because of the thread.
