"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"Nowadays, we don't need to visit an HR portal. Our marketing and human resources teams directly share details about birthdays, upcoming events, and important dates in Slack. Whether it's a training event, a company-wide gathering, or a social event, all the information is shared there. This keeps us all updated."
"The most valuable feature is that we can easily integrate different workloads and the alerts are reliable. Also because it allows us to use it as a monitoring tool sometimes."
"We use thread-based communication. So that if a new person comes to look into a problem for a particular task, they can easily go and look into the particular thread it is discussed in."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is communication between team members."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"The product is easy to use."
"The huddle feature is valuable to me."
"The huddle feature that allows you to get on a call with a colleague is one of the best features of Slack."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"There could be a read function so that when you send a message, instead of the other person having to add a reaction, you know that the message went through."
"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."
"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"The product crashes when I use it on the desktop."
"Integrating Slack with calendar functions would be advantageous, allowing for the seamless scheduling of meetings within the platform."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
