- João Oliveira SimõesDesign Lead, 44 StudioPros:
Possibility to be logged on multiple teams, being available at all times on mobile and desktop, and easy to connect with other services.
Cons:I'm pretty happy with Slack, so no cons for now :)
As a remote designer, this is a must have. I'm always contactable and available. Super easy way to also have quick calls and communicate with other team members on different teams.
- Amrith ShanbhagCommunity at Product Hunt & FeathrdPros:
Easiest way to get everything under one roof.
Cons:Building active communities is really hard.
I'm a part of a ton of Slack communities but I'm active in only a handful.
Slack works to its fullest only when it is implemented in a team and everyone's supposed to use it for communication. Slack could/should improve on making the communities on it better by adding relevant features.
- Pros:
I collaborate with multiple organizations and seamlessly integrate apps into the chat function for domain name availability to trello cards.
Cons:Wish they had a better app market to integrate with Slack.
Overall this product works smoothly and the updates the developer releases are meaningful and truly addresses a lot of the bugs I generally see the week before a release. They true stay on top of the product and make a great interface for user interaction.
- Pros:
Easy to use, nice to collaborate with my team!
Cons:I am really satisfied, didn't find anything you could improve!
We use Slack at work! We are really satisfied with the tool - so we directly integrated eyeson in Slack ;) https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=eyeson+for+slack
Andreas Kroepfl has used this product for one year. - Vjatseslav GedrovitsSoftware Engineer @ MalwarebytesPros:
simple, usable, fast
Cons:sometimes slow code snippets
This is one of the bast conversation tools I've used personally.
Fast & simple with a different ways to express your thoughts.
Fancy code & snippet tools, but sometimes link preview feature can be hell :(
Vjatseslav Gedrovits has used this product for one year. - Adam S HurwitzAndroid DeveloperPros:
less email
Cons:managing multiple conversations could be easier
I love using emails less.
UX Improvement: Having conversation tabs similar to any modern web browser so important conversations don't get lost in the left menu drawer.
New Feature: Calendar. This would hopefully kill our company's horrific use of Microsoft Outlook once and for all :-)

Chat rooms, privacy, cat gifs
Cons:Consolidate threads
We use Slack at 99designs for all internal comms and have even implemented a Slack plugin for customers on our site to help manage their design contests. It's a great communication tool, offering the ability to create various chat rooms for different purposes (we have serious ones like #Announcements and silly ones like #dadjokes) and communicate across our international offices. We also recently started using Slack's video chat feature and definitely like it more than Google Hangouts - better connectivity for sure.

Intuitive, with a nice interface.

Cons:Ummm, no such cons so far:)
Saying that Slack will replace email communication channel, wouldn't be an overstatement :)
- Jay SinghEntrepreneur & Growth StrategyPros:
Great tool for team collaboration and most of 3rd party apps provide ready integration with Slack. I use Google Calendar, Freshdesk, Jira!

Slack is a great communication tool for teams. Especially when you're remote and want to get a message to your team faster than an email.
Cons:It can get a bit distracting just like a text message so I tend to shut off notifications when doing a specific task.
Overall great product!

It is easy to use
Cons:it is good
easy to handle
Live Poll has used this product for one month. - Jair SilvastoryrocketPros:
can coordinate different things with a single click clack is the best, and the integrated applications are the best
Cons:can be a little tedious at times when they are in a large community although sometimes it notifies me things I do not understand much
slack is ideal for me because I work remotely and I can co-ordinate with the design team and also with the development team
