Slack Reviews & Product Details

The ease of use and set up. We've been able to integrate it with Gmail, Asana, and Canva and it's fantastic. We use it all day, every day and at this point, couldn't function without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far! We love the entire program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Slack is its impressive ecosystem of integrations. It really feels like a true “single workspace” because it connects the tools I rely on every day, from Google Drive. Being able to manage tasks and get real-time updates without leaving the app cuts down on context switching in a meaningful way. On top of that, Slack Connect has been a game-changer, letting us collaborate securely with external partners and vendors as smoothly as if they were part of our internal team.

The biggest challenge I’ve had with Slack is keeping up with the constant stream of notifications. In a fast-paced team, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by “notification fatigue,” where important updates end up buried under casual chatter. Threads do help, but the search functionality—even with recent AI improvements—can still struggle to surface specific historical decisions in very active channels. As a result, it takes a lot of manual effort and strict “channel hygiene” to keep the workspace organized and prevent it from becoming chaotic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company uses Slack every day. Slack offers several different ways to communicate. The main thing that I like about Slack is that they are constantly adding or improving features. With Slack, you can communicate over text, calls, or video calls, all in one place. Slack has also introduced AI into its platform that is helpful for searching and recaps. Slack is easy to use, easy to implement, and offers an expansive list of integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that is sometimes a little hit or miss, is the call feature. There are times when the call feature does not work correctly. The call will start, but you can't hear the person on the other end. A refresh usually fixes the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Slack daily for work, mostly for quick syncs, async updates, and keeping project threads organized, which really helps cut through email chaos. I find Threads extremely useful for keeping chats clean and preventing main channel chaos. The Search feature is fantastic for finding anything fast, eliminating those 'where’d we decide that?' moments. I'm impressed by the integrations with tools like Figma, Jira, and Google Docs, which allow me to work seamlessly without switching tabs or losing context. I appreciate the custom notifications and Do Not Disturb settings that let me control when I'm interrupted. Having all my tools like Figma comments, Jira tickets, and Google Drive built right into Slack makes my workflow smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slack’s got problems that actually matter when you use it every day. Notifications still flood you even with Do Not Disturb on. Threads disappear if you’re not watching them and good luck finding that one message you need later. The mobile app especially on Android feels slow and sometimes just stops working mid-conversation. The free plan gives you 90 days of history which is not enough for real work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slack makes team communication much easier and faster than relying on email. I especially like how conversations are organized into channels, which helps keep different topics separate and easy to follow. The search feature is also really useful when I need to track down older messages or locate shared files. Overall, it keeps work discussions in one place and makes collaboration smoother.

Sometimes Slack sends too many notifications, especially when I’m part of a lot of channels. During busy hours, it can start to feel pretty overwhelming and distracting. On top of that, the free version limits message history, which makes it harder to look back and access older conversations when I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Slack for internal communications and file sharing in the company I work for, and also to communicate with clients. I appreciate how it streamlines communications in real time and facilitates data and information sharing. I really like the UI for its fresh look and ease of use. The workflows and integrations, such as with Jira, are particularly noteworthy. The initial setup was very easy with no blockers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The summarize feature using AI for a channel does not cover the whole history of the chat, so it is something to improve. If there is a way to make available some plug and play solutions to connect to Jira database for any IT project, and at the same time connect to Google Workspace data so I can use like an AI agent in Slack to ask anything about a certain project and generate insights, reports and dashboards, it would be nice.

Users consistently highlight Slack’s ability to streamline communication by replacing cluttered email threads with organized, searchable channels. They point to key benefits such as seamless integration with tools like Google Drive and Trello, real-time collaboration that keeps teams aligned, and a user-friendly interface. Many also note that productivity improves thanks to practical features like pinned messages and customizable notifications, which help important updates stay easy to find and manage.

Common complaints about Slack include overwhelming notification overload, a “culture of immediacy” that can stifle deep work, and the challenge of searching for past messages—either struggling to find them or losing track of them over time. Users also frequently point to a chaotic interface, weak or confusing threading, and high system resource usage (RAM) as major pain points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Slack is how it keeps all team communication organized in one place through channels, making collaboration much easier. It also integrates smoothly with many tools, which helps streamline workflows. Overall, it reduces email clutter and makes quick communication with teams very efficient.

One thing I dislike about Slack is that too many notifications and channels can sometimes feel overwhelming. It can also be easy to miss important messages when conversations move quickly. Additionally, the search and message history can be limited depending on the plan. Also there is no option to change the Email on an existing profile.

Slack’s AI is really helpful. I can go through huddles and transcripts, and the AI automatically takes notes during huddles and summarises them. If I miss something in a channel, the AI can summarise everything and give me an instant recap of the discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had to manage the notifications on my own because, during work hours, channel mentions kept bothering me and I was constantly getting interrupted. It would be better if it were easier to understand the notification settings and manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slack is a simple team communication app. It keeps all my communication with my organization very organized and simple. We can create channels with only the people that we need in them. It has threads within a message, where it keeps all the communication very structured. Also, it has many features like Huddle for a quick call, screen share while on call, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that has come across my experience with Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
