Slack

Pros: The best advantage of using Slack as a communication tool is its availability, it is available on mobile, web and PC. The sign-up process is seamless and quick. It offers way more features than a generic communication tool, like creating and joining multiple workspaces at the same times. Sharing resources among colleagues is fast and any type of media including links can be shared in the chat.
The sidebar features all the main navigation options, which makes the navigation from one workspace to another quick.

Cons: All in all it is a great application, but if I have to nitpick I would say that the user interface can be improved in terms of simplicity.

Overall: Slack is overall one of the best communication tool for professional communications and chatting, the feather on the cap is the availability and abundance of features in the application.

Pros: The most positively striking features about Slack were:

- Slack sends me notifications about everything that happens in my work network or when I am mentioned in a specific network. I receive notifications from Slack on my cell phone, email and via SMS. These notifications are instant, so I can know the exact moment when they mention me in a message or when they need me to participate in a discussion.

- The chat rooms are quite organized, the messages in each chat room are received instantly, there are no delays in sending or receiving messages.

- Each labor sector of my company has a chat room, so it is easy to separate each sector, so that each one has a chat room with their colleagues from the same sector. It is a fairly easy mechanism to be organized and for the sectors to maintain a more integrated communication.

- The interface design is quite attractive, it has a very colorful interface, easy to use, easy to understand and above all, easy to configure.

Cons: - The word search system is one of the things I didn't like at all about Slack. The keyword search system is functional, but not 100%, currently, when we search for a word, it does not show the oldest results, but until an exact date, there is no way to find older results. Old results are obscured by the search system, and shouldn't be, it should display all of them.

- It has a terrible integration with the MailChimp system, currently, the export of Marketing reports to the Slack platform to share this matter with my colleagues, takes a long time to be carried out successfully, the information takes a long time to be shared through this network.

Overall: I consider that my general experience with Slack has been good, there have been various problems such as the previously mentioned search system, which does not search for keywords showing old results, but there are some flaws that can be improved by the Slack team to give us a better experience. The Slack system has behaved wonderfully, I have been able to have fluid conversations at all times both with my colleagues within my sector, as well as with other colleagues from the Finance and Projects sectors. We're a pretty big company, and Slack has been really helpful, it keeps us all connected at all times, I can send direct messages to my bosses and co-workers. The notification system has been very good, with notifications without delays. Slack needs to improve the integration it has with MailChimp, since currently in our company we use MailChimp to handle sales and advertising, so it would be great if these two platforms (Slack and MailChimp) have a good integration, with faster report export . This bad integration doesn't change my opinion about Slack, I still consider it to be a pretty good software, it keeps communication constant in my company and that is worth a lot, so I hope they can improve the few flaws they have.

Pros: We utilize Slack for internal communication with one of the nonprofits that we serve as an outsourced finance officer for and it works great! The best feature is the ability to create shared, private, group chats.

Cons: One thing I don’t like is the inability to receive notifications unless you’re tagged in the message.
