General Consultant Discussion

I'm wondering how many of you use Slack? I saw they were going to go public soon and now this just came across my feed.

@Wayne Schulz - did you say you had used it, or are still using it?

Someone could scoop up Slack before it IPOs

Good for connecting groups quickly, especially when many are outside your company.
Bad at threaded messages (very clunky) and nagware (you run out of free space quickly and the nag never stops)

We use it all day.  Strictly internally in our case. I think it's an incredible tool, but, like text, gets misused / overused. For all the great things it can do, one starts to ignore it when it overwhelms.  We have:

• A Sage 100 support channel (we have no case/ticketing system at all
• I have a trello channel because I am using trello
• A general channel where we might say we're using remote access for customer A or there are cookies in the break room.
• A calendar channel because no one looks at our calendar or can use statuses when they are away :-P
• A social channel for pics of the kids
• All our DM channels

We were using Slack internally and I loved it. Since then we've switched to Teams. I was reluctant at first because I liked Slack so much but I now LOVE Teams. Can't stress enough how much I enjoy using Teams. I still use Slack to communicate with others outside of our organization. Not sure if Teams allows you to do that or not. So I still enjoy Slack but I honestly would probably be happier if everyone (including people outside our org) would embrace the (omg I can't believe I'm saying this) Microsoft solution.
