A great team communication tool
Slack is honestly the best tool for team collaboration. You can communicate via voice or text with your coworker or friends from the browser, desktop or phone and it's reliable a lot. The messages are there and so are the files shared. Also same with the chat rooms.
PROSI like Slack. I have been using it for aprox 4 years now. It's simple and it get's the job done. You can add extensions like JIRA, Google Drive, DropBox and so on. Basically slack you can have different rooms for different teams (you can manage the members per room or invite) and you can also have private chat conversations with other people. It's basically a chat server for your company or organization. The mobile app is awesome, the desktop app is fine and you can also use Slack on the browser. The free tier is good if you have a small team, now if you message a lot there's like a 10,000 message limit for the history so if you want to get the best deal, you'll need to pay. Same for the file sharing, there's a limit but it works super good.
CONSHonestly Slack is great, but with the time, it's become stagnant. A lot of other platforms are providing features that are more robust and free. For instance, Discord, even if it is for gaming, it does everything Slack does and better. Even the desktop sharing is better. I wish Slack just kind of moved out of the stagnant position they are right now and innovate a bit more or refresh their app, but hopefully they don't break it, because it works fine as well.
Reason for choosing Slack
I initially started with it, before Discord even got better, the thing is, we are so integrated with Slack at the moment, we wish Discord could just add extensions but they have bots. so they're almost there.

Slack Review
Slack has been a go-to team meeting and chat platform at different positions and also during communal club spaces for organizations, such as the graphic design organization AIGA, which I frequent within my local design community. I haven't had any major issues with it thus far ans can easily recommend it. Being a business-focused chat space it also does not have silly loading messages like Discord which I've also used and which also worked well, but felt a bit unprofessional at times.
PROSSlack is an easy to navigate, light on hardware platform to facilitate teamwork. You won't need a top of the line computer to run it so even in remote work conditions you will reliably have it available. There are not excessive features to get lost in or particular issues finding your team meetings constantly, a code to the overall Slack channel is sufficent. As opposed to other productsused for video conferences such as Zoom, everything is built in on Slack for "one stop shopping" using the program. It allows for image uploads and other useful tools such as split channels for specific tasks like designating a set of crew members to a task in a server,
CONSThe user interface is readable but slightly bland with the entire white color scheme. It's not strictly necessary but it can be difficult to only look at that color scheme for when you use it, other programs like Discord have variability.
Reasons for switching to Slack
Time went on and companies have adapted to using other software like Slack instead of ones like Skype, as an example, in my experience.

I enjoy the customization of the application in terms of notification sounds, themes etc.4. I like the ease of use of the application.5. I like the dark theme as it's a lot easier on the eyes.6. I like how you can attach various forms of media and send them to colleagues.7. The capability of making channels private.8. I like how you can schedule messages that automatically get sent a bit later.9. I enjoy how close it makes colleagues feel even in a work-from-home setup.
CONS1. The pricing is a bit steep2. I wish it had better huddle and video conferencing capabilities. 3. I wish they could be rolling out updates and new features more often.4. I hate how when choosing an emoji the emoji tab disappears and you need to click again to bring it up. 5. I hate the display picture feature whereby a picture can come up as all messed up when uploaded.

Communicate and Collaborate in real time
It enhances the process of collaboration with in teams that is real-time. It also allows a lot of apps to get integrated such as Google Drive, Trello and Salesforce.
CONSIt can be slow at times and for the first time use, it can be overwhelming for a user. It is also an expensive tool and should be thoroughly analysed before finalising.
