I like this app and was first introduced to it when I joined a technical support team. It is fast and reliable and has a nice interface which is easy to navigate.

I liked it because it has this great feature of integration with other software like google drive.

Love that it's user friendly and was very easy to set up. It is real easy to communicate with other team members.

Slack is refined, clean, and very user friendly. It integrates with many other tools in our stack and always offers a great experience.

The different channels help to keep conversations organized. The fun features make this instant messaging fun and add flair.

When te connection is down, the messages stay grey and after some minutes, they fail, so sometimes the internet connection come back and those failed messages are sent after the previous ones.

Overall, I'd say that once a company is used to the mechanisms and abilities of slack, it has the potential to do a lot of good. Once comfortable with it, it is quite efficient and enjoyable.

The best thing about Slack is the ease of use and the ability to communicate quickly and effectively across multiple teams/projects.

I love the feature that allows you to pin links to the header of a channel making it easy for others to access certain documents. In addition,  The Slackbot is a great help tool.

It's really useful, practical and easy to use. Great way to communicate and even fun because you can add your own emogi and use giphy.

It is super user friendly and able to navigate through the platform with ease. It has been money well spent and has helped our business flourish.

I recommend it to everyone I know. More people should use it! perhaps invest more on marketing so that it is more popular among crowds.

The best thing about this software is its easy to use and very useful functions. I love being able to select groups to notify or send announcements easy, essentially getting rid of email.

The only thing that I dislike is that I can easily get distracted by the notifications.

What is nice about slack is that you can have multiple channels based on what the communities interests are and that tagging people in messaging is really helpful.

After working in companies that used popular but non ideal instant messaging apps, having a solution as Slack for messaging the team is a lifesaver.

This software is the best source of communication because here are chatting opportunity is always free and reliable.

Allows superb enterprise-level communication. Integrates with other software seamlessly and allows productivity to be maximized.

It has been a great experience, and customer service is helpful and friendly. It is the perfect software to keep in touch given the difficulties of 2020.

Overall it's good, fast and very user friendly once you start using it you will love this app.

Webhooks are incredibly useful. Custom emojis are great for teams to develop a fun atmosphere.

From keeping message history to other basic necessities, Slack charged for a lot of it. Comparing it to Discord, it cannot compete.

Super light and easy to use interface. Integration services with Google apps (Calendar, Sheets, etc) are excellent and seamlessly integrated into the conversations.

I love the look and how it is comfortable in the eyes. Functional in all aspects especially the integration with other apps that we use like Time Doctor and Asana.

You can easily confuse groups your in and comment something to the wrong team ( I've done it on many occasions) and confused the heck out of some coworkers.

My employees love the notifications they get in the app about when they are scheduled.

Scheduling and messaging staff is so much easier now. It is all on one platform that is easy to navigate.

The UX could be better : some of the features are difficult to find and the UI is a bit dull compared to other platforms in the same category.

The app is very responsive and has a clean, easy to use interface. When filling in my weekly timesheet, I am able to look back at all of the hours I have worked and use that as a reference.

I didn't know such an awesome scheduling solution existed and is perfect for small or large businesses. Everybody with a team should be using Sling.

Ability to organize events for a medium sized group and share documents between participants.

Customer service is readily available and even friendly in emails.

My over all experience is that it’s easy to use and it helps me keep up with what I need it to which is the best part.

There is no way no monitor these messages. Unless a screen shot was taken there is no proof, because if the either of the user deletes the message it is gone.

I like sling because of all the different customization options they give you. You can group people by position and schedule them easily.

Generally excellent tool to organize and coordinate shifts. Daily use, easy to follow and manage,  flexibility and many options.

It also is nice to see when there are shifts that are available to pick up.

This way I could post my department meetings to those that missed the meeting and have them look over the slides.

I have used sling at my previous hospital (Mountains Community Hospital) for the last two years and it saved me hours of work.

Being able to use the integrated time clock is also a great feature. There are just so many feature and customizations that it would be an asset for any type of business at any size.

We will stick with sling for a long time. And to enjoy all the channels for cheap prices and affordable.

Sling is a great scheduling software that's easy to use.

I feel as though Sling is missing a lot of features for companies such as mine.

It's a good straightforward software for scheduling.

Easy to quickly see schedule, Digital sharing among employees, Adjustments are quick and immediately seen, User friendly, High quality app.

The app is great so that you can see who is working when. Because I use the free version, it fits our tight budget as well.

I love that employees can ask for time off and put unavailability right on the schedule. The time clock feature is also very easy to use.

I love the payroll and the time sheet the best and the fact that it is easy to use it’s a great platform.

My company uses the free version of Sling, and for something that is cost free it's really wonderful.

Benefit is that most of my business requirements are all in one place, and can be managed anywhere.

This software gives me limited issues. Although, I sometimes forget how to find the time sheet space, etc.

I like the productivity I like the simple instructions the easy use and the benefits it offers me.

Sling offers 3 hallmark channels that i never knew was on market. So being on a budget this was good buy and reasonable.

It's a cost effective scheduling dashboard, that I can personally recommend despite the occasional bug.

I love the filter fields which help me view specific schedules with ease. I also love the newsfeed feature.

Love the app for scheduling all my staffing needs. Thanks for your efforts.

I also get a little overwhelmed when the schedule has a lot of people scheduled in one day, it's a little crazy looking on the screen.

This is a good app because you cant watch it on any device and stream live tv shows online. I like it user friendly.

Overall, Sling has been a great app. We have used other apps and this one has been the easiest to use and the most helpful.

Amazingly easy to use shift scheduler and perfectly integrated chat/announcement functions.

So for us, a dynamic system is a must. The Sling support staff is also very responsive and open to suggestions and ideas.

Sling seemed to have constant problems loading, or randomly needing to reload, and then having troubles doing so.
