Perhaps Basecamp is a viable alternative? https://basecamp.com https://basecamp.com At many of my projects I do have to use Slack, and for really big companies, it might be a good thing to have several announcement and talk-by-the-water-cooler channels. But once you get to several hundred channels and you subscribe to like 20 or 30 of them, you kind of lose track what you need to know and what now. Maybe a Slack-type chat isn't the most productive. I like Basecamp because there's a talk-by-the-water-cooler tool (campfire), announcement and idea feedback tool (message board), some basic planning (to-dos). Though for detailed planning and coordination I use something else.
