Review Slack?

"Reviewers largely see Slack as the default hub for team communication: fast, clean, easy to adopt, and especially strong for channels, threads, file sharing, search, and broad integrations. Many say it replaces internal email and works especially well for remote, async, and startup teams. The main complaint is noise: too many channels, notifications, and buried threads can make it overwhelming without strong team discipline. Some also mention shaky huddles or video, occasional lag, search gaps, onboarding complexity, and limits or cost that sting smaller teams."

What's great

user-friendly interface (35)

Slack is just simple to use. The interface stays clean even with a lot going on, and it's easy to jump in without a learning curve.

What needs improvement

video call quality (3)

Huddles are the weak point for me. My internet is stable and every other call app works fine, but Huddles specifically keep having connection issues.

We've been using it for a while, but it's a bit more complex than Slack.

Slack is useful because it keeps team communication fast without turning every small update into a meeting.

I use it for project discussions, async updates, quick decisions, file sharing, and keeping different workstreams separated by channels. Threads are especially helpful when the team uses them properly. It works best when the workspace has clear channels and people are disciplined about notifications. Otherwise, it can get noisy quickly.

What needs improvement

notification fatigue (28)channel bloat (14)

Slack can become overwhelming when there are too many channels, unclear notification rules, or too many half-finished conversations. The product works best when the team has communication discipline. Better defaults for reducing noise, cleaning up inactive channels, and surfacing important updates would help a lot.

Slack feels better for work communication because channels, threads, integrations, and search are built around team workflows.

integration with productivity tools (89)channel organization (60)remote team collaboration (100)

We're a small startup team and Slack is where everything happens - product discussions, QA runs posting into channels, canvases for docs that need to outlive a thread. Most of our tooling reports into Slack now, so it's less a chat app and more the place where the state of the company is visible. It's the first thing I check every morning, before email.
