"Clean UI, Reliable Performance, and Powerful Integrations for Daily Work"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

I used Slack regularly for my daily official work, and it's become one of my favorite app for communication, collaborations and project execution.

It's UI/UX is very clean, making it easy for new members to get started without much training.

Performance is reliable and integrations with tools like Jira, Teams and other keeps workflows centralized.

Pricing is also good with much premium features.

AI-powered capabilities help spped up documentation and other work preparation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

It's although a good platform but there are a few areas where it could improve like searching older discussions sometimes requires precise keywords and also in free plan it has limitation of 90 days conversation view.

Also the free plan's limitations can also be very restrictive for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Channels, Search, and Easy Integrations Make Collaboration Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

Channels are the most useful part. We can keep different projects, discussions and updates separate without everything getting mixed together. Search is also useful when I need to find an old decision or a file someone shared weeks ago. Connecting tools like Google Drive, GitHub is so easy and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

First the UI is a bit confusing and, It can feel a little heavy when there are lots of channels and conversations open, but overall, performance hasn't been a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Slack: A Real-Time Communication Hub That Streamlines Work"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

The best part of Slack is its ability to replace endless email threads with real-time, organized communication via channels. The integrations and search capabilities make it an indispensable command center for my daily workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

The biggest downside for me is notification overload and the constant pressure to stay 'always on.' With multiple active channels and DMs, it's easy to get pulled into distracting side conversations that fragment deep work time. The search function, while powerful, often returns too many irrelevant results, making it tedious to pinpoint that one specific message from weeks ago. Additionally, threaded replies can sometimes bury critical updates, so if you miss a thread, you might completely lose the context of a decision. Lastly, the pricing scales steeply for larger teams, especially when you need unlimited message history, which feels restrictive for growing companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized Team Communication and Smooth Collaboration Every Day"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

What I like most is how it keeps team communication organized. Instead of getting stuck in long email chains, conversations stay in dedicated channels, which makes it much easier to track discussions tied to a specific project, release, or production issue. Even if I miss messages during the day, I can catch up quickly without having to ask everyone for updates.

I use it every day to coordinate with developers, testers, and product teams. Sharing screenshots, log files, code snippets, and links is straightforward, and the search feature helps me find older conversations when I need to revisit an issue or confirm a decision. That’s saved me a lot of time on more than one occasion.

It also integrates well with tools like Jira, GitHub, and Google Drive, so important notifications and updates land in one place instead of being scattered across different apps. The interface feels clean, notifications are easy to manage, and it’s available on both desktop and mobile, which makes staying connected really convenient.

Overall, it’s become one of those tools I keep open throughout the workday. It helps the team communicate faster, keeps discussions structured, and makes collaboration feel smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

There isn’t much I dislike, but there are a few areas that could be improved. In busy workspaces with lots of channels, it’s easy to miss important messages when several conversations are happening at the same time. I also think notifications need a bit of tuning when joining a new workspace; otherwise, they can quickly become overwhelming.

Search works well most of the time, but tracking down a specific message from months ago can sometimes take a few tries if I don’t remember the exact wording. I’ve also noticed that the free version limits message history, which can be inconvenient for smaller teams.

Aside from those minor points, it’s been reliable and easy to use. The advantages of faster communication and better collaboration still outweigh these small drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

""Slack Keeps Team Communication Fast and Organized""
4/5
What do you like best about Slack?

I use Slack daily to connect with my support team, team leads, quality team and agents. Few things I like most:

- Channels keep communication organized by team and topic, no information gets mixed up

- Sharing audit reports, score sheets and files instantly without switching to mail

- Tag specific people with @ mention for urgent issues, right person gets notified immediately

- Real time messaging makes resolving issues much faster than email

- Huddle feature allows quick voice calls without any extra setup during escalations

- Search helps find old messages, reports or files shared weeks ago in seconds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

No big dislikes, but notification overload can be a bit distracting during busy hours, better notification management options would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Communication, Excellent Integrations"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

I use Slack for internal communication in the studio and as the notification center for all apps. I appreciate how it gathers all messages and notifications in one place, providing a very centralized experience. I really like that it's easily connected to other apps and lets me use it as a notification hub. It's great that it takes a wide range of formats for sharing purposes. With Slack, I don't have to open Ayon to know I have a notification or someone mentioned me, and I can share files with my team easily. I also enjoy having the mobile app mirror everything, and I appreciate that it updates my status if I'm in a meeting on its own. The integration with tools like Miro, Ayon, Render Farm, and Google Calendar is very useful for me, and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

The search is weird, very strange; I need to be smarter when I search for someone's name. Also, the way it arranges the contacts on the left is very random. They should be arranged by frequently contacted person, or at least give the user the option to arrange chats the way they like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Fluid Messaging with Easy File Retrieval and Saved Links"
4/5
What do you like best about Slack?

Slack (like Microsoft Teams) works best when everyone uses the platform. Good for quick messaging and quick huddles, it is great at saving information to be used again. Quick saved links and easily retrievable files are standout features. It also integrates with Outlook to add-in extra features. The overall performance is fairly fluid and loads quickly- allowing the user to quickly pick up where they previously left off. AI integration is still limited to user input and doesn't always pick out the right information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

AI integration is still slow- data is sometimes pulled from all of Slack (using other metrics instead of building-specific). Finding chats (and subsequent information) with multiple people is difficult after the chat is off the recent list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"With "Slack: where team communication really happens""
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

What I value most about Slack is the centralization of communication in one place. The organization by channels and the use of threads keep discussions organized without cluttering the main flow, which makes a big difference in day-to-day service.

The interface is intuitive and fluid, with a low learning curve — within a few days I was already using the main features without formal training. The integration with other tools in the stack, like Google Workspace, works well and avoids constant switching between platforms.

The internal search was an unexpected benefit: retrieving messages and files from months ago is simple and fast. AI features, like channel summaries, also help keep up with conversations without having to scroll through hours of history.

Overall, Slack delivers a good return: it saves time, organizes communication, and increases team productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

One of the main areas for improvement is the system's resource consumption. Slack can become heavy with many channels and workspaces open simultaneously, which impacts the computer's performance, especially on machines with more modest configurations.

Notification management, although configurable, can still be smarter. On days with a high volume of messages, it's easy to get lost or end up muting important channels due to overload — a more refined prioritization system would help a lot.

Advanced search also has room to evolve. More precise filters by date, file type, or sender would make information retrieval even more efficient.

Finally, the message history limit on free plans is quite restrictive and can be frustrating for teams that rely on access to history for consultations and audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Slack for communication, and it's become one of my favorite productivity apps.

I like how quickly I can share files, search old messages, and join voice or video calls when needed. Notifications are reliable without feeling overwhelming, and the app runs smoothly on my phone. It helps me stay connected with teams and communities no matter where I am. Overall, Slack is a dependable, user-friendly app that makes collaboration simple, efficient, and enjoyable every day.

"Easy, Reliable Team Communication with Great Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Slack?

It’s the best app for communicating with coworkers, creating group chats, and scheduling meetings. The emojis are great as well. The app is easy to navigate and simple for new users to get integrated into, and it doesn’t crash. The support team is willing to assist when needed. Slack’s AI bot works fine, but it could still be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slack?

The only issue I’ve had so far is with the AI bot. Sometimes it doesn’t work as intended, but since it’s a new feature, that feels normal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
