Executive Director
5.0

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.

Philip Quintas V
Owner
5.0

Philip: Hi, I'm Philip and I'm a videographer, and I would rate ScreenFlow as a five out of five. Before I used ScreenFlow, I was using QuickTime to record the screen, and the problem I was having is I couldn't record the computer audio with the screen, and that was really important to me when I was doing demos and tutorials. So I switched from QuickTime to ScreenFlow to record my screen because of a recommendation of somebody that I trusted very much. Getting ScreenFlow into the business was really easy. It's a super simple interface. I mean, I've learned a lot of software over my lifetime, but this was really, really easy. I mean, I think the same day I got it, within an hour, I was using it for exactly what I wanted to use it for. The advice I would give somebody who is interested in recording their screen is definitely try ScreenFlow. And the reason is it works really well and it allows you to export the movie at any resolution you want, and you can record the sound from your computer along with the video that you're capturing on your screen, which is super great. So if you're ever making any tutorials and you want to grab the screen, that's good. Plus you can plug in an external camera or an iPhone or any kind of other device into it, and it will record that too, even at the same time. You can record more than one video source simultaneously, which is great if you're recording your face and the screen at the same time and you want to get the sound. So yeah, I would totally recommend it. My advice would be check it out. I think it's a great value.
