In your particular organization. Slack is one of many instant messaging platforms. Tightly coupling your tool to Slack instead of making it platform agnostic immediately restricts where it can be used.
Other comment threads are already discussing the broader issues with using IM for this job, so I won't go into it here.
Regardless, well done for making something.
- aray07 2y agoThanks for the feedback. We want to get something out quickly and we had experience working with Slack so it made sense for us to start there. However, the design is pretty flexible and we don't want to tie ourselves to a single platform either.
- FooBarWidget 2y agoTry Netherlands. We're Microsoft land over here. Pretty much everyone is on Azure and Teams. It's mostly startups and hip small companies that use Slack.
- satyamkapoor 2y agoStartups, hip small companies, tech product based companies. Most non tech product based or enterprise banks in NL are on Teams
- Aeolun 2y agoI really feel like the world would be a better place if it was illegal to bundle Teams like this…
- darkstar_16 2y agoDenmark is the same. Only the smaller startups use Slack. Everyone one else is on Teams.
- october8140 2y agoAs Slack is not end to end encrypted we and I imagine many other companies cannot use it.
- progbits 2y agoSlack is also extremely unreliable with notification delivery.
