Our customers range from two-person startups to Fortune 100 corporations. In fact, 77% of the Fortune 100 uses Slack.
Media professionals and creatives working with video that need to transfer large volumes of data (20GB+) Anyone who is sending very large files or folder structures on time-critical deadlines.
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.
Best reliability I have encountered to date, and the interface is beautifully clear and simple.
Masv Rush is not something I use regularly enough to complain about features.
Low Cost, Price, friendly, easy to use, the best way to move your files, the software is very nice, because with only a few minutes you can Learn a ABOUT IT.
The billing practice of charging by download is very sneaky. Almost all other companies charge by upload.
The design is clean and understandible, with fast, good-looking custom branding options.
You pay more when there are multiple recipients. Not knowing ahead of time, whether a sent file will travel to the selected destination.
A premium service at an excellent cost and support from a dedicated team.
It's no possible to retain a partial upload and download.
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.
