Review Slack?

Reviewers largely see Slack as the default hub for team communication: fast, organized, searchable, and especially strong for remote work, quick coordination, file sharing, and replacing internal email. Channels, threads, huddles, reminders, and broad integrations with tools like Google Drive, GitHub, Jira, Zoom, and Trello are repeated strengths. Founders from Krisp and Trupeer also praise how it keeps teams aligned and productive. The common complaints are just as consistent: notification overload, channel sprawl, buried thread replies, some interface clutter, and limits or cost concerns as teams grow.

What's great

workflow automation (12)file sharing (21)channel organization (56)remote team collaboration (96)

Slack remains one of the golden standards for remote team collaboration; my favorite part of the tool is the integrations it carries natively. Channels also help a lot for teams that wear many hats.

What needs improvement

mobile app performance (10)free version limitations (7)notification fatigue (27)video call quality (2)

Free version limits remain a blocker. However, many competitor tools have also lowered their free version limits so not the biggest flaw. I do think the mobile version can be further improved though!

vs Alternatives

Discord

Mattermost Webex

Microsoft Teams Lark

Lark

I still use the other products but vary a lot of the situation. Lark is more of a super app that also includes gmeet/zoom and notion - used a lot more in Chinese companies. Teams is still heavily used in consulting / f500 companies. Discord is used more for gaming / community management for crypto and ai startups. Webex and Mattermost are more niches now.
