Excellent design and very good panel for team communication.
Date: Feb 09 2021SummaryFrom 1 to 5, I would give Slack a 4, because it is a platform that has helped us to be able to communicate in our work area and to be able to maintain an interaction despite the distance we are. In these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Slack has been very useful because it has provided us with an online communication with all my work colleagues, and has kept us connected for all kinds of discussions and to talk about any specific topic. Slack is very easy to use, the general design of the panel that it offers to users is very attractive.
Despite the problems that Slack presents to be able to search for words, its general system is very good, communication is always persistent and it helps to share information much more frequently.PositiveTeam Collaboration is quite an important issue for all of us, because this allows all activities to be accomplished and teamwork can be consistently performed. Slack is an incredible platform to develop teamwork and to keep all areas of a company communicated, the most salient positive characteristics that I noticed are:
1.- It has an excellent notification system for all types of devices, and warns at the exact moment when messages are sent in each of the chat channels.
2.- In the main section of the panel, when you log in, a small box appears where all the unread messages appear and the mentions that have occurred while you were not online are also displayed.
3.- The conversations of all communication channels work in real time and allow very simultaneous messaging to be had.Negative1.- I don't like that Slack conversations cannot be regulated, because on some occasions, conversation topics or group discussions get out of control and this creates a disaster in the chat channels. I would like to have system that regulates messages and can prevent spam.

2.- The word search engine that Slack offers is a bit slow, and it is slower when there have been many messages within a communication channel. As the time-line of each chat channel grows, the word search process will take even longer. -

A good platform for communication
Date: May 25 2020SummaryOverall, it is a great app to use for group communication especially right now when COVID-19 is keeping us from reaching out to our friends or fellow workers but still, it doesn't offer much in a unique perspective if compared to the other available platforms.
PositiveSlack is one of those applications which can be useful for group communications. Be it for school or for professional use, Slack offers a lot of features for people to use. You can communicate with others freely as well as send pictures and attachments.
NegativeWhat I didn't like about Slack is that there are much better alternatives out there. It is just the same platform if you compare it to other communication platforms. It doesn't stand out in the vast array of alternatives available to the public.
