For me Slack has one of the worst messaging interfaces ever. I'm a casual user forced to use it because one of my software suppliers uses it for support. It's just so non intuitive. I cant find the ch... See more

Good for team collaboration

Slack allows teams to communicate and collaborate in real-time, whether they are in the same office or working remotely. It provides a central hub for all communication and file sharing, making it easier to organize work and find important information. Additionally, Slack integrates seamlessly with a wide range of other tools and apps, making it a versatile solution for any team.

One potential downside of Slack is that it can be overwhelming and distracting if not used properly. With constant notifications and messages, it's easy to get sidetracked and lose focus on important tasks. Additionally, while Slack is a great tool for team collaboration, it may not be suitable for more complex project management tasks. However, these limitations can be overcome by using Slack in conjunction with other tools and by setting clear communication guidelines within the team.

Resource hog.

Slack is built on Electron and is a huge resource hog. Wonder why you're machine is running slow? It's probably Slack. It really needn't be this resource intensive.

Also, replying to messages is just annoying in/out of thread. Code highlighting is the only thing I find useful above other apps.

Spack

My experience with slack is a bad one, bare with me here.
I haven't used the software itself, but my reasoning is legit. advertising. It's terrible.

You've prevented me from even looking into your company as an option, the ads I hear are utterly awful, and being part of your business model gives me grounds to review.

I'd rather use anything else, MICROSOFT TEAMS, because they don't need to skull rag their potential base with bad ads.

I won't even buy shares because your ads make you seem desperate and soon your ideas will be outsourced.

Simple but lacking in advanced features

I have been using Slack for my team's communication and collaboration needs for the past few months and overall, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I love how simple and easy it is to use. The interface is clean and intuitive, and it is easy for everyone on the team to get up to speed on how to use it.

However, I do have some issues with Slack's limitations. It feels like the platform is stuck in the past in some ways and doesn't offer as many features as some of its competitors. For example, there is no built-in video conferencing or screen sharing, which can be frustrating when trying to collaborate remotely, while I appreciate Slack's simplicity, I do wish it offered more advanced features. If you are looking for a straightforward communication tool, it might be a good fit. But if you need something more robust, you may want to consider looking elsewhere.

Slack with huddle is a piece of garbadge.

huddle. I hate it so much. The most useless feature.
I don't like its general look
I don't like how its call notifiction works
I don't like that its somewhere in the corner
I don't like that it makes webcam window small and squared
And particullary I hate that it eats so much of my laptops resources that I can't do anything beside looking at slacks window. Screen sharing is a lagshow.

At this point, I could switch to ms teams or google chats. (which I do for all external calls)

Anything is better. And I haven't heared anything positiv from my friends/collgues either. (Except a couple of developers and PMs, but those guys are masochists anyway, so that doesn't count)
