What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

One of the advantages that often differentiates Slack is that it works well for collaborating in real time and when fast and direct action is needed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Slack serves to streamline tasks and focus especially on delivering quality products, since through Slack they can integrate the applications they usually use such as GitHub, Jenkins, Jira and hundreds of other applications. In my case, I link Trello with Slack in this way I will have access to the information that I have uploaded in the boards of my Trello account with all the tasks that I have added and see them directly in the Slack chat.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Slack is a tremendous tool for team communication because it is entertaining

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The best way to ensure the development of a project among all the members of a team is to use a simple, complete tool and, above all, that can be integrated and automated with the rest of the components of the ecosystem of tools for application development. Without a doubt, Slack, today, is the ideal tool to achieve this end.

  • Helps Innovate
