"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."
"It offers customization options for various applications, including integrations with Zoom for video calls and a wide range of other integration plugins."
"Slack provides very fast communication."

"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."

"I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time."

"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
