Slack Benefits

Basically, the fact that we moved to one platform and away from emails has helped us. Everybody can see what everybody else is saying, so we don't have to plow through tons of emails. The fact that there is a history already there for somebody to see, at least since the time they became a member of a group or a team, is the biggest time saver.
We can always scroll back and look at the history to see what happened and react based on the context of the conversation or discussion. For me, that would be the biggest advantage of moving away from emails.

Slack has helped to increase the productivity of my teams and organization. We have been able to cut down on subscription costs, reduce client delivery time, troubleshoot more effectively, and achieve positive results more easily. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams.
View full review »Slack has made communication much easier in our company. I can text someone in the company or send a message. I can also have an audio call with a couple of team members on the go without needing to start setting up calls on Zoom or Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. I can have that voice or video call right away on Slack.

The product makes communication seamless. There are around 200 employees in my organization. If the HR personnel want to reach us, they use the channels to put up messages, posters, and banners for workplace events or blood donation drives. They use the channels whenever they want to spread information about anything.

- Increased productivity avoiding email "chat" and creating space for focused conversations which are topic or action oriented
- Increased visibility and "situational awareness" of people in the team at their own pace (asynchronous), avoiding interruptions
- Increased serendipitous communication and shared thoughts on general channels.

View full review »I was the president of a college event planning organization. Being able to have a conversation with my executives separately from the organization members was very convenient.
With multiple events happening and multiple conversations going on, I was able to divide the conversations into their respective groups and create channels for focus groups. This increased our productivity and efficiency by more than 80%.

The quick line of communication, most certainly improves the functionality of our organization. Discussions can happen at the drop of a hat, in a Slack channel and a critical decision can be agreed upon to take further action. Triage of customer issues can happen at the moment of crisis and this is of huge assistance as to how we can get our product back up and running, when needed.

Earlier, while we used to communicate through email, it was good but it became difficult to keep track of all the projects and keep ourselves updated with the latest changes. Since we started using Slack, we have been able to solve each other's problems and identify all of the loopholes within a reasonable timeline.

Previously, we were using Skype and HipChat, but the issue was we had bad notifications systems, so that's why we shifted to Slack.

- Onboarding new users is easy thanks to Slack's great UI.
Slack kept several remote employees working cohesively and seamlessly together, allowing us to more easily synchronize our efforts and work collaboratively rather than "islands unto ourselves," so to speak. Coding, writing, editing, etc. was all done in an effective manner, as a result.
