Employees communicate well

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

It's a simple communication tool that everyone may utilize. It is hardly an exaggeration to claim that a company can no longer be performed without slack, as email communication with employees is tough. It provides a significant contribution to improving employee communication. An email could take up to ten minutes to compose, but it should not take longer than five minutes. As a result, quick communication is feasible, and overall corporate efficiency is increased. It also features a workflow function, which allows you to create recurring progress reports in the same manner without wasting time. This is actually quite beneficial.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

So far, it is the "ideal option" for internal communication. It is handy since it can be viewed from both a PC and a smartphone, and it can be adjusted project by project. It is especially simple to use as a communication tool from outside the firm because it may be launched directly from a smartphone (quick start-up). Furthermore, if you share the URL of the normal MTG meeting (zoom), you will be able to attend in Zoom via Slack, which is quite useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can attach data, however previous dates and times will be removed, thus I'd need the data to be kept for a longer length of time.I'd want to have the data stored for a longer period of time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The following issues have nearly been resolved with the advent of "Slack": 1: "Quick startup time." 2: "Easy to use, even on a smartphone" (Easy to view while on the go). 3: "It's simple to contact several folks." 4: "Easy to search time-series data for each case," This helps to save time for internal interaction. (This helps to shorten the time.) Installing Slack on your smartphone allows you to access it from outside the organization. (You are not required to restart your computer on a regular basis.)

Magnificent tool for instant messaging

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

The mobile app is fully functional and I still downloaded it straight to my desktop. Slack channels for each client that includes all the co-workers who are involved with that client project. Collaboration with someone is in real-time and responses are immediate.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's easy to share something funny or off-topic with other customer service team members. It has great security so data in Slack is always protected.

What do you dislike most about this product?

File storage can be frustrating because we get as much storage space as we choose to pay as a company so when files are sent through Slack we have to move them another platform to create space in Slack.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Slack is simple for new users to jump, without too much setup time and its the best instant messaging platform for remote companies to keep everyone in the loop. It is a must-have for collaborative, digital workspace organization.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
