Slack is great for communication across a lot of offices across different locations. Its more fun than the likes of google chats or Microsoft teams with custom emoji's and gifs.
The only drawback is that we just have too many avenues where we connect and so Slack just got lost with all the other programs and didn't become a priority. This is why we no longer use it.
It was motivated by the price, accessibility, ease of deployment, and great, impactfull features like threads in communications and bookmarks for file sharing.
The interface is very strange as is the fact that you have a separate email & password for every Slack channel you join. Feature for feature, Slack is just a worse version of Discord.
I liked the style, functionality, and availability of slack for everything and everyone. It is completely easy and fun to use and manage as well have many useful features.
People are not used to Slack as much as they are instant messaging or emails, so a lot of people have bad etiquette, which can make Slack a lot more annoying and bothersome than it should be.
This software is just amazing for collaborations. I think it's the user interface that makes it so good, but to be honest it just has this je ne sais qouis that makes it amazing.
I get lost on some of the channels - there are a lot of channels with different teams. I find that I get confused with which channel is for what.
It has a great clipper i can say that one of the best in the market. Great editor that you can use as the central for all your personal and business note-taking.
I was looking for an alternative to Evernote as Evernote has remained stagnant on improvements and their latest release was many steps backward (Evernote release 10 is bad, very bad).
Nimbus Note is a great app for taking notes. It has a good very good, very useful free version.
The import from Evernote is 50. Tough to blame them as their is no standard they can rely on.
Very reliable and stable, it has never crashed on my older MacBookPro and has great performance. Nimbus Capture and Clipper are great tools, and sharing data is easy and effective.
The web clipper sometimes completely fails in preserving a page format and that's annoying. Never happens with Evernote.
The customization is a nice touch – we can make it fit what we need. Also, it feels secure, which is important when we're handling client info.
It was really frustrating to find out the migration tool was not complete, and mobile was unusable from a business perspective.
Speaker 1: I'm Cam, senior director in our company, anywhere between 20 and 25 employees across the world at any given time. I couldn't go a day without Slack. That's five stars for me. Before Slack, we actually had to use two different software options. We used Sococo for our virtual meeting offices, and that served a purpose. It was good for a little bit, but then as we got bigger, we also had to use Skype. And so a natural progression was moving on from both of those into one that offered the same exact offerings, if not even more, and that was Slack. So previous to Slack, Sococo, Skype, and a couple other different instant messaging systems, all provided by Slack going forward. Everything from the pricing to the ease of deployment to how quickly we could get up and running, and just how generally available Slack is, whether it's desktop or the app, and from a mobile phone, you could have a web browser, anything you wanted to. You're never away from Slack, technically. And so, while that might not be a good thing for the work-life balance, it definitely made it much easier to deploy than anything else we researched, and we got forward. And now, it's just part of everyday life. The reason we chose Slack, one of them at least the biggest one was how quickly we could move everything from previous options or previous programs we used to deploy the day of. So I think that was on a scale of one to five, five being the easiest. It was a five. If not, even higher than that. It was as easy as possible to deploy Slack, get everything set up from our exec team, and then trickling it down. It took maybe a matter of a half hour to get everybody on board and inside of Slack, and it's still even faster now. So that was probably the biggest factor to getting us over to Slack in the initial phase. Recommending Slack, or if you're choosing between Slack and something else, just try the free version of Slack and understand that that is good enough to probably get you in the door and keep you in the door as well. The paid version and the other offerings from Slack make it even more integral to your business, so I would highly recommend giving it a shot. Just in general, the ease in which you could get started and the ease in which you could continue going forward without skipping a beat in your business needs, whatever your business needs might be, it's Slack and Slack going forward.
Neal: Hi, my name's Neal. I'm a website developer and a yoga teacher, and I use Nimbus Web regularly. And I give it a five star review. And for more information, click below. Before Nimbus, I was using a little Word app or Google Sheets or Google Docs to write notes about, for myself to remember. Sometimes I'd use a notepad on my phone or on my computer. And there was all these disparate notes all over the place, and it was hard to bring them all together. I also used Microsoft to do lists, but the features weren't really useful. So now that I've got Nimbus Web, I have all these features in a design that I really love, and it's becoming much more useful for me. Why I choose Nimbus Web and why I continue to choose Nimbus Web is because the design. I love the UI designer of the app. It makes it really simple for me to find the tasks that I want, to find the notes that I want, and to add those tasks. And I can do that either on my laptop, and I can do that really easily on my phone. So it's bringing all those things together and making it really useful for me to continue to do my work, and to keep on track with the tasks that I've got to keep on track of. To get started with Nimbus Web, it was the easiest of all the apps I probably ever have used. It was really clear that onboarding was simple, and it was very intuitive to use. And it has been, and that's one of the reasons why I really love it. I've tried other apps and other task managing apps, and they were just really complicated. And because of that reason, I didn't really get into it. Whereas with Nimbus Web, the design is really well thought out, and I actually really love using it. If you are considering Nimbus Web as an app that you might use, I highly recommend that you give it a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed in any way. It's simple, it's intuitive, but it's got lots of great features. The screen capture feature is really useful. The task features are really useful. The documents are already beautifully designed. Yeah, I highly, highly recommend it. I wouldn't do without it.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
