Our customers range from two-person startups to Fortune 100 corporations. In fact, 77% of the Fortune 100 uses Slack.
From small businesses working from home, to large corporations providing IT support to employees, we have a solution to suit the needs of any business.
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 feels very streamline and functions exactly as you want remote software to function. The ability to save sessions is also a nice feature and it works well across our network.
This is rated as highly dangerous software for its lack of security. For that reason, it is usually blocked by default by most firewalls worth their salt.
This is a perfect powerful tool for instantly remote access, in the company i work we use a lot of Thin Clients in shop floor and the most easy way to remote control them is using VNC.
The only pain is that I must leave my work computers on at all times to make sure they will connect. There may be something to remotely turn on my computer but nothing with VNC connect.
Another part that I really like about this product is the large number of multiple connections that it allows me to make, ensuring thus a better performance when giving remote support.
There is no catalouge of services. You either buy a licence or not.
VNC Connect is a reliable way to access your computer remotely. While the program is solid in it's own right, we were drawn to this product because of its affordability compared to TeamViewer.
There is no options just to buy remote access licence permanently which i find anoying.
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.
Josh: Hi, I'm Josh. I'm a web designer. I would give VNC Connect a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Our company was trying to find a way during COVID to have some of our employees work from home. This was at another company I had worked for, and we just found that through our own server and trying to connect straight to the computer through a couple different ways, just didn't work. We were going to use Windows option, and it was not working well. This was recommended to us, and it worked extremely well and was a great buy for the price. We could actually use it all the time to connect to our computers from our home computers. We had a couple reasons why we chose VNC Connect. The first reason was that it was recommended to us by our person who works on our server. Then, the second reason was the price. It was a great price for the year. Then, the third reason it seemed to do everything we needed to. We could easily connect more than one computer to the account and all our employees could get onto their correct computer without being able to get onto other computers, except for the admin was able to do that. So, it checked all the boxes we needed. The ease of use for VNC Connect and getting it set up was amazingly easy. I had used it with that company I was with and when I was no longer with that company, I still use it with the other company or my own company that I do web design with. It's extremely easy to get connected, and it rarely ever fails unless the computer's off or something like that. I can always get onto my computer and get right going as soon as I need it from even my phone or my different computer. Even if you're not a business owner or something, it's amazing to be able to have something for such a good deal for a yearly price that can get you connected to your computer from offsite, somewhere else. Even for just you're getting to it from your phone, you can print from it from different computers. It's super nice to have the ability to see stuff on your computer, whether that's different files you needed to look at or something that's strictly on your computer without terrible lag. But, you can still get to it and be able to see anything you need and work on your computer just as if it's right in front of you, even on your phone, which makes it amazing. I, at this point, wouldn't use anything else.
