Sales and Revenue do not always equate to quality and user experience. All these companies when they get to this size start to lean on M&A vs build it yourself. Look at the history of Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and you'll see the same pattern.
Slack is the new Sharepoint, everyone uses it but no one really wants to and it doesn't really fit the bill but everyone else is doing it so companies adopt it.
- quickthrower2 6y agoSlack's value is in selling the idea of async chat to managers and making it mainstream. I don't feel as nauseous using it as Sharepoint, but it does seem to be buggy and crashy in places.
- Rillen 6y agoFor me slack is a very simple deal: Microsoft Teams Chat UI is garbage. It uses a lot of space, i can't just have a list of channels, no i need groups etc. It even doesn't matter to me if its slack or hipchat or matrix or whatever. I don't know why we migrated to slack. I don't get why Teams doesn't provide a lightweight chat typical UI. I would just switch to Teams. After all video calls are much better on Teams and more stable. But then Slack integrated Teams and Zoom. They clearly don't want to compete in this area and i also don't get why.
