Slack Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

As a System Administrator at Carlton One, Slack’s channel-based system keeps our 12-person team aligned across 3 time zones. Integrations like Google Drive and Trello automate daily updates, cutting our morning sync meetings by 50%. Saved message threads and @mentions help resolve client delivery delays 30% faster than email chains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brief outages during peak hours (e.g., Q4 holiday rush) occasionally disrupt communication with external partners. Notification overload from 10+ active channels forces manual muting, which led to a missed deadline once. A “priority alerts” feature for urgent messages would help.

I like Slack because it allows me to communicate and collaborate with my team members easily. It is very easy to use and makes it easy to stay organized through the different channels and direct messages that I get. I like that the search feature is easy to use and it's super helpful in finding previous conversations. I use slack every single day and honestly it's my favorite platform to use to communicate with teammates on. Overall, Slack helps me stay connected to my teammates.

The thing I dislike most about Slack is the large volume of notifications that I receive. It can be overwhelming at times, although I could probably adjust my settings to make that better for me. I also feel like the channels can get messy and sometimes it is hard to find past conversations because they will become buried in newer ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best aspects of Slack are its intuitive communication channels, which enable organized collaboration within our teams. Features like thread discussions, file sharing, and integration with tools like Google Drive, Trello, and Zoom make workflows seamless. Slack's search functionality and customizable notifications ensure users stay on top of tasks without being overwhelmed. The platform’s flexibility for remote work and team coordination is a significant advantage, fostering efficient communication in both small and large organizations.

What we dislike about Slack :

1. Cost for Larger Teams: Slack can become expensive as team size grows, especially for organizations requiring advanced features

2. Notification Overload: Without proper configuration, frequent messages across multiple channels can lead to distraction.

3. Learning Curve for New Users: First-time users may find it overwhelming due to its many features.

4. Limited File Storage: Free plans have restricted storage capacity for shared files.

5. Dependency on Internet: Slack's functionality heavily relies on a stable internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that it's good for communication. I have been working with it for years. It's like Skype on steroids. I use Slack every day for my job with Open English. I have not had any reason to talk to customer support because it has been great. There are a lot of other features that I have used and so easy to use. If you want to transfer everything over the integration process is very easy. I never had any issues with Slack and the ease of implementation has always been 5 stars for me.
