Eh people will be salty about the Salesforce name but honestly their acquisition of Heroku hasn't caused me any pains regarding our experience with that platform. I'm as skeptical as anyone else, and I think there's more risk in a tighter "integration" making it a miserable experience. Might be a good time in the market for a new Slack competitor!
- dzhiurgis 6y agoWonder what's going to happen to free tier. Some integration into core Salesforce might make sense for reps / teams. Another useful product might be live chats based on Slack tech. Seems good fit, but I do wonder how well they are going to integrate.
- natchy 6y agomaybe free tier was never sustainable and was only a tactic to increase user volume and thus increase Heroku valuation towards an acquisition.

- easterncalculus 6y agoJudging from Salesforce's past acquisitions I'd bet (and hope) that we won't see a lot of changes being forced on Slack users in the future. Salesforce will probably use it internally and include Salesforce product integrations, and likely start to use it instead of Chatter.
- nitwit005 6y agoI don't believe Salesforce got much value out of Heroku however. Their main app isn't built on top of it, and they were shopping around for cloud providers to expand to places like Australia.
- ryanSrich 6y agoThey bought heroku for around $200m if I remember correctly. That’s a rounding error to Salesforce.
