We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Slack is a powerpack bundle of features that help small or large organizations to handle teams and their tasks. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams. Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there. It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages. Its integration with different apps is a great feature. | The initial setup was simple and straightforward. It's really easy to use the solution. The design of the solution is its most valuable feature. The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us. In fact, it has only become more valuable now that it has integration with Teams. Teams allows you to stream, so that's good. The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events. Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use. |
Cons | |
I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner. The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first. The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications. Notifications are not as good as they could be (especially for mobile). Slack could add additional and better integrations. | The product seems to just add to the complexity of using existing tools. We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient. Yammer should be able to integrate with Microsoft products, such as Outlook. The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it. This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications. I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer. Users need to be in the Acting Directory to exploit the features. |
