Slack Scalability
Slack's scalability is massive, and there are companies out there with hundreds of thousands of users. If you're talking about the free version, it is limited in its capabilities. But the enterprise edition of Slack can scale absolutely massively.

It is a highly scalable solution, given that over ten thousand daily users rely on it for their work. As the user base grows, managing channels can become overwhelming, and maintaining them can be a significant challenge in such cases. It may require a minimum team size of around thirty to forty people or more to manage it effectively.

For my use case, I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. Other than the limited issue of searching for files, I didn't find too many issues. But overall, it was highly scalable and served its purpose well.
Our organization was small. It was about 25 people. So everyone was using it, and we had clients and partners as well. So we had around 30 to 35 people using Slack across our organization and external contacts.

This is a scalable solution.
View full review »We did have scalability issues. If you are on the free plan, you are only allowed 10,000 messages before everything is archived. This is a big problem for an alumni group which I am a member of that uses Slack.
Our messages are archived every two weeks, which makes it challenging to search for former conversations.
The price of using Slack would be $30,000/year for that community, which I think is quite steep.
