The solution caters to various industries, including media, research, technology, education, financial services, retail, transport, and logistics. Slack provides public channels for members across organizations to start conversations. Private channels enable interaction within smaller teams, and direct channels help send messages directly to colleagues. Slack incorporates feeds from social media into the application and blends them with ongoing conversations in various channels. Files such as PDFs, images, documents, and spreadsheets can be shared via drag and drop. Slack archives messages, notifications, files (as well as the contents of files) and projects, all of which can be searched for later. Slack allows users to customize their notifications and reduce their scope. All changes are reflected in the native applications available for iOS and Android. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 24095 users.

However, it notifies you first. I also find I sometimes have trouble with the phone app. > > Many years in, and my team still uses Slack to communicate because it's efficient\! I use it daily and will continue to do so. ----- ### "Slack it to me\! My favorite team tool." — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *29 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Slack allows seamless group coordination and communication. Great to be able to break off conversations with the team and even separate projects with the accurate team members. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the attachments I try to send will not attach due to size. Not the biggest deal, but always nice to be seamless. > > Slack is my main form of communication at the office. It really helps me stay organized while handle multiple tasks. ----- ### "Slack is a valuable Comms Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Jamie** | *22 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease and speed of communication. It's quick and easy to share news, information and instructions on Slack, which makes progressing tasks efficient. > > **Cons**: I've always found notifications in Slack confusing and inefficient. Even when you have read the notification, Slack often suggests it's still unread which is annoying. > > Slack is a valuable communication tool for internal and external teams, and it makes comms quick and easy between team members. ----- ### "Slack review" — 3.0/5 > **Megan** | *1 May 2026* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What i liked the most about slack is i can chat with my classmates and teachers in one place with out a hassle > > **Cons**: What i didnt like about slack is that i was a lil confusing at first but then i figured it out how too work through the app ----- ### "A Great Alternative for Coworker Communication" — 5.0/5 > **Charlie** | *19 February 2026* | Motion Pictures & Film | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Slack allowed me to communicate with my team with the utmost ease. The chat features allow for an easy and lighthearted conversation flow. Many of my coworkers enjoyed the UI customization options that made each of their individual accounts unique. I think it is a fantastic value for the money. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, even when turned on, notifications would not pop up on mobile. This caused many team memebrs to miss things or respond to urgent maters later than needed. > > Overall, Slack has been great for my team. Whenever I'd talk to customer support, they would be very helpful, but honestly it wasn't that often that I needed help. My coworkers enjoy it, and it allows us to not have to just communicate by email, which can be pretty mundane. ----- Page: 1 / 965\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/154669/slack?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/154669/slack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
