The giphy integration is the perfect way to get folks engaged. I love the search function and the auto-response feature the best.
I get lost on some of the channels - there are a lot of channels with different teams. I find that I get confused with which channel is for what.

Best Software, Easy to use
Comments: I am using Slack from last few years for professional use. Cost per User is low, easily you can connect with team members. Good for instant messaging, file sharing etc.very easy to use. Full speed working.
Pros:
I like most Slack instant chat option. Slack Hurdle for instance meeting. Easily copy paste snip, excel sheet etc. easy to use.
Cons:
I like this software there is nothing wrong I feel about it.
Alternatives Considered:
The default tool for tech companies for a reason
Pros:
It's now the default for most tech companies. User experience is smoother than all similar tools.
Cons:
The search function doesn't quite live up to expectations. Exacerbates bad communication practices.
No longer worth it
Comments: Good for a while but the product only really got worse with time. The massive price increase meant we could no longer trust them with our money or data so we left and we don't regret it at all.
Pros:
A lot of products integrate easily with Slack. As a replacement for Skype it was quite good.
Cons:
Rug-pull price increase forced us to migrate. We found Zulip which ended up being better in practically every way.
A solid option to centralize communications
Comments: I have been using Slack since around 2016 or 2017. It's been long enough that I don't remember exactly when.
Pros:
Communication is seamless. Even though it is an instant messaging product, it lends itself surprisingly well to transactional communication as well, effectively replacing email for most use cases.
Cons:
Search is painful. Notifications with channel membership takes some work to get right.
Slack - Necessary Work From Home Tool!
Comments: My team has been using Slack for a long time (well over 5 years by now) and has never explored an alternative because of the ease of use, reliability and integrations available.
Pros:
It allows easy contact for work from home teams to stay in sync. It also has a lot of integrations so it can be used as a way to monitor software outages, etc.
Cons:
It can be a little disruptive if you have a job that requires focus, but that is an issue with any form of communication.
Alternatives Considered:
Everyone Should Use Slack
Comments: Overall exprerience is fantastic. We never have issues with the product. It's never down or not functioning the way that it should.
Pros:
It's always evolving. There are new features each quarter that make the tool a one stop shop for internal communication.
Cons:
Nothing. I like everything about Slack. There isn't one thing that they could do to improve.
One of the best chat applications for small or big teams.
Comments: Overall I had a great experience. Although, a few times I had some issues with the notifications on Android. I was receiving messages but the notifications were missing.
Pros:
It's a great chat application for teams. What I like the most is the ability to create channels for different topics.
Cons:
I tried to use the Slack API to create some automated personal notifications but I found it a little bit difficult to setup.
Slack Review- 2025
Comments: Started using Slack about 8 years ago and i'll never go back. If you are part of a remote team and want an employee engagement platform to help with company communication, Slack is your best bet!
Pros:
Incredibly easy to communicate across multiple channels and departments. Easy to create sub groups for project management efficiency.
Cons:
The free version has a ton of limitation and almost requires you to pay for the upgraded version.
Slack, a wonderful employee tool
Comments: Excellent interface and use friendly. Slack helps employees communicate with each other in smooth and efficient ways without having to sift through emails and with the option of turning on and off notifications.
Pros:
Slack is a wonderful tool for employee communications.
Cons:
Slack is a wonderful app, I have no complaints about it.

A good messaging app, except for the language barrier and messages older than 90 days
Comments: It is a good application for messaging, but I think it is not sufficient for general use and general evaluation.
Pros:
A nice application with a simple user interface and the ability to create multiple channels and assign people to channels.
Cons:
The workspace is displayed to all users in the language it was created in. For example, I have to use German Slack for a project we are working on together with the Germans, but I have to use English Slack for the workspace I created for my own team. Instead, it should be opened in the language of each user. It is also very illogical to ask for a subscription to be able to see messages older than 90 days. Why is there a free version if I can't see my conversations older than 90 days?
Great for Team Communication, But Room for Improvement
Comments: Slack has been useful for my team's asynchronous communication needs, but definitely lacks some of the functionality we need for maximum confidence in our communication.
Pros:
I love that it has a free version and allows video, audio, text, and pictures for communicating with my colleagues. It's a good way for our remote team to stay connected.
Cons:
I do not like the inconsistent notifications and the way threads work. My team has missed important communications way more often than we have with other similar apps.
Slack for the everyday user
Comments: Slack is wonderful—it’s never a question of its usefulness. It gives our team the opportunity to grow, connect, and collaborate effortlessly. Slack is easy to train on and lets you show off your personality. It also has many hacks and tricks that most people don’t know about, like setting reminders, sharing a GIF instantly, and mentioning individuals, only those online, or an entire channel. It’s a smart system that I love using.
Pros:
The ease of communication between teams, colleagues, and even adding a second or third company is so easy. I also love how easy it is to start a 'video call' huddle with anyone in your organization. With one click, you’re chatting over video, sharing your screen, and connecting with someone on the other side of the world. It also integrates very well with Zapier, Google, Asana, Calendly and many more.
Cons:
I'm not sure if this is a Slack issue or a user issue. I’m an Apple product fanatic; however, when my Slack is buzzing with notifications from all the workflows and channels I’m in, my phone, laptop, and watch all go off simultaneously, which can be overstimulating. Although I’ve turned off notifications on my watch (for my sanity), there are times I wish only certain channels would communicate to it.
Cool way to work and chat.
Comments: My experience with Slack has been really positive. It’s incredibly user-friendly, with all the tools for both quick, casual chats and more structured team collaboration. I love how easy it is to send files like spreadsheets and data right in the chat, so we don’t have to jump between different platforms. The fun features, like GIFs, stickers, and video clips, add a nice touch of personality, making remote work feel more connected and personal.
Pros:
I love how Slack makes our virtual office feel more alive! It's easy to use, and I’m all about the fun features like stickers and videos that let me add some personality. Plus, I can send all kinds of work stuff—like sheets and data—which is super useful. It definitely makes work chats feel more efficient and way more enjoyable!
Cons:
I honestly can’t think of anything I dislike about Slack.
A.Onyiba Slack Filled Insight (Experience Based on 7+ Years)
Comments: Business instant messaging, live chat and video conferencing are among the benefits which I gain from Slack.
Pros:
Slack is used across all business units in my organization. I like that it makes it super easy to share large files online, conduct corporate meetings, send and receive DMs from one single spot.
Cons:
I crown 👑 the vendor since they keep updating Slack to meet our needs so we may never lag behind - it is flawless at the moment.
Slack: Comprehensive BIM Tool of All Times
Pros:
Slack boost team collaboration in my organization through instant messaging, live chat and video conferencing.
Cons:
Never have I experienced any flaw while using Slack.
Great for communication, worked better when I delegated it for just the team
Comments: Easy to use, flexible for our small (8-10) team, and eminently adaptable for those who wanted to stay in touch with others. For me, I found I enjoyed not being on-call and gave the space over to the team
Pros:
It enabled my team to communicate quickly on details, maintain a sense of togetherness, and even allowed for random brainstorming.
Cons:
I am not comfortable with the idea that I could get interrupted at any time. What began as "my focus times" in two 2-hour windows became an all-day thing when I realized my team worked well or even better without me
Easy way to communicate.Try Slack you will never be disappointed.
Comments: Slack has enhanced collaboration, productivity and efficiency.Having all conversations in one place makes it so much easier to stay on top of tasks without missing anything.
Pros:
The ability to create custom channels for projects,along with with features like message threading,file sharing and video/audio which helps keep everyone on the loop, also communication across all of our departments is a breeze without overwhelming our inboxes.
Cons:
Slack doesn't give the option to go back to a conversation with deactivated member,that can impact the business if there are some crucial information on the chat.
Slack as an excellent work team manager
Comments: My overall experience with Slack was very good and I would recommend using it. Having had the chance to use both the free version and the paid version, I think that by making the small changes regarding the access to the history of old messages it would be the definitive platform for companies and team management. On the other hand, with full access through payment, you have full control of everything and no complaints at all.
Pros:
For me, the best thing about Slack is the possibility of highlighting important messages, being able to make notifications such as wake-up calls and being able to gather important files for a work team within the same chat as a team. In addition to this, as an employee I appreciate the possibility of rotating between the status of “available, absent and unavailable” even while inside the platform.
Cons:
The worst of Slack or rather its areas of improvement are in the limitations of the free experience, such as the search for files and messages that have limitations to be no more than 6 months old (I think there should not be limitations on the search for messages but perhaps keep it in the archives unless they are super important files marked by the team leader as indispensable).

I do not have any drawback which I face when using Slack to enhance team collaboration.

BIM, Live Chat and File Sharing in One Place with Slack
Comments: Business instant messaging and large file sharing.
Pros:
Slack enhances real-time team collaboration which boost productivity in my organization. It offers audio and video conferencing capabilities which enables me to handle online meetings.
Cons:
Slack has never failed to accomplish my needs and I use it on a daily basis.
Strong points but staying behind supporting fun/direct interactions
Comments: It is reliable, consistent but not so "fun", the company I worked for has started to use Gather to make our home office interactions feel more personal. As you need to move to another person's desk and interact with them or see if they are talking to someone else. In slack you can see they are in a huddle or busy with a Google Meet but when off you can chat with them but need to wait for that person to read you and answer instead of just being able to talk to to them without "ringing".
Pros:
I can set up channels that will remain fixed instead of chats that get lost in between all the chats. I like that I can star chats and channels to reach them easily.
Cons:
When I start a huddle, the call window gets lost or is small, and when I make it wider, it doesn't pop up immediately in the front and I have to look for it between all my open windows. Also, I didn't get the lists feature , I have no idea what is the value of it for me as a product manager that uses Jira.

My time with Slack
Comments: My overall experience with slack was beneficial when communicating with other team members during the process. When you take the time to figure out the organization process, and receive instruction on how to use the software than things seemed to run smoothly.
Pros:
When using slack to communicate with former employers and coworkers in training I noticed it's efficient communication tools. One example of this is that you can operate the program by creating different channels. Operating in different channels is key to organization when you want to transition from different communication sources between individuals. Another important feature that slack offers is file sharing. File sharing allows you to share with others, and you also have the choice to file share with another privately. The program seemed to operate smoothly without any glitches. Slack is a great way to communicate and is suggested for Employer's new hires.
Cons:
The only disadvantage I have had by using Slack were minor annoyances when finding some of my former conversations. I also feel that many icons made my scrolling around the program disorganized.
