(4.6/5)
Slack is a cloud-based project collaboration and team interaction tool designed to make communication between organizations easier. The software is utilized in various industry verticals, such as media, technology, research, financial services, education, transport, retail, and logistics.
The platform also provides public channels for members across teams to start conversations. Private channels allow interaction among smaller groups, and direct channels enable users to send messages directly to their colleagues.
Not only messages, Slack archives files, notifications, and projects, all of which can be accessed later. Plus, a user can also customize their notifications and reduce their number. The app is available for iOS and Android users.
Pros and Cons
- Enhances team communication
- Intuitive and easy to use app
- A bit hard to learn
Summary
Slack is a feature-rich messaging app with many integrations that supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. You name it, and you’ll find the app for its dedicated platform.
With this app, you can not only send direct messages to your team members, but you can also form a communication channel for different subjects and topics. And in these channels, you can react to a message, send gifs, share files or even make a call. I really like this feature.
Sometimes I get bombarded with so many notifications that I forget why I opened the app in the first place.
