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 24110 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. ----- ### "Great experience with Slack." — 5.0/5 > **Patricia** | *26 March 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the most user friendly messaging experience I ever experienced. It made our team meeting more productive since it was quicker than meeting face to face. All my colleagues were happy with it. > > **Cons**: Nothing, I don’t remember anything being bad.Everyone picked up on learning this messaging system quickly. > > My overall experience using Slack messaging was a positive experience. It made our team meetings memorable by sharing GIF’s, videos and important company information. ----- ### "The Best Communication Platform" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *11 May 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I most like about Slack are the video call feature (Huddle) and screen-recording feature (which also allows you to record audio and camera with it). > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything significant that I don't like about Slack as a product. If anything, being owned by a smaller company rather than Salesforce would be preferred. And maybe having a different product name than "Slack" since it helps your teams get more done\! > > Slack is a superb communication platform. It's easy, organized, fun, and effective. Of the many communication tools out there, like Discord and Telegram, Slack stands out with more capability and yet more simplicity. ----- Page: 1 / 966\ 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
