Determines productivity through a set of actions
Date: Apr 28 2021SummaryWe frequently use this software to feed our information repetitively and to be aware of what we have accomplished as a whole, thus giving the company a specific balance sheet of the daily activities being performed.

Direct communication for all kinds of discussions.
Date: Jan 30 2021SummaryMy overall experience with Slack was really positive, I performed very well when sending and receiving all kinds of messages. Also, Slack allowed me to quickly modify my communication environment, thanks to its commands, I was able to save manual work.

I should place the sign "#" + whatever I want to do, and instantly, it is done. Thanks to the command system I can make any modification of the chat channels or their elimination, in addition, I can also delete or add new members to the channels.

Great panel to communicate as a work team.
Date: Feb 14 2021SummaryI am satisfied with the services that Slack has provided me, communication in my company is a totally important factor and what helps us to grow and complete all kinds of business tasks. Slack has been a very good platform to communicate as a work team, this platform has allowed us to send and receive messages in just a few seconds, and so we can have conversations on any topic and we can also have discussions that helps us simplify the work of the company. Slack is a fast platform, its panel is very easy to use and the notification system is quite good.
PositiveOne of the most notable positive features of Slack is the section that is below the main panel, in this section all pending messages, mentions and reactions, specific threads of conversations and also saved messages are shown, this section helps me to be able to visualize specific messages and to be able to know when or in which communication channel they have mentioned me. Another feature that I like about Slack is that it also has the ability to communicate with anyone around the world, no matter where that person is, just simply integrate them into a chat channel and you can immediately have one direct communication. Slack messages are receive instantly, which helps make communication totally fast.
NegativeSlack's search system is not optimized at all, this search system offers the user the opportunity to search for a specific message or search for some conversations on specific days, however, I don't like it because it takes a long time to search the various results and when you find messages, not all your searches appear, only a part of what you have found or the most outstanding messages. I would like to have a more optimized message search system that allows me to find what I am looking for.

Slack is a diverse service for projects with different deadlines
Updated: Mar 21 2021SummarySlack is as varied as any other service oriented to the administrative management of projects, but the interesting thing is the ease with which we can create panels and organize them, eliminating the limit you have of the project data once they are placed within those panels. Slack is good for connecting to collaboration services, which would serve to synchronize the team.
PositiveBy using Slack after having used some other project management software, it is completely possible to import documentation from other projects without any problems with report formats, whose structure remains completely stable. With Slack it is possible to organize projects entirely from cell phones.
NegativeThe speed of deployment of Slack is not the same from the web version than from the installation version (for desktops), since the web version consumes much more bandwidth resources, which makes it difficult to work if you are doing operations outside the Slack platform. From Slack it is not possible to apply surveys to the project's team of employees.

I use this every day
Date: Jun 11 2021SummaryOverall, I would highly recommend Slack to anyone organization that is looking to improve their communication internally within teams, and across teams.
PositiveIt’s an amazing software to maintain contact and different discussions at work, particularly with so much happening remote these days. Helps me keep in touch with my team and communicate with other individuals and teams across the organization.
NegativeSometimes people can reply in a thread and out of a thread, so that can get confusing, but it’s more user error than a problem with the software.
