Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Almost NOTHING. ... {My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A03s & they switched us over to Google Messages (G~ M~) without giving us a choice. Whoever did the switching at least made sure that when they switched us over to G~ M~, they at least didn't delete our historical texts, but it might be Samsung who should get credit for that, not Google.}
  • Absolutely NOTHING!! Especially being given no damn choice in the switch after being a loyal Samsung customer since 2010.
  • nothing about this application works for me, it sends random text messages to people that I did not enter
  • I have not found anything I like or to recommend to others to encourage anyone to use this app. This app needs significant amount of work as far as I am concerned.
  • Security feature are good and i do like the spam blocker. That is all I can come up with right now. The bad outweighs the good.

Cons

  • I DO NOT LIKE that once a text is typed & sent with Google Messages (G~M~), I have Not then been able to forward it to others! I used to be able to do that before they switched us to G~M~. I DO NOT want to use group chat or group text. I DO NOT LIKE that with G~M~ I have Not been able to delete a single text within a text thread by itself! I usually do NOT want to delete entire histories of texts w/ someone. I DON'T like the font. I also DO NOT like how ugly Google makes the emojis look once I press the emoji I want to use! Emojis wind up looking different from how they looked before I pressed them. I also DO NOT like the colors of circles next to each text thread in the list of threads when I first open text messages & then at the top when I press a new text to open it or to open a historical thread! I'm an adult, & Google's primary colors in the text/message area are childish & annoying & ugly & unsophisticated compared to the ones that had been in use before they switched us to G~M~. I DON'T like the fact, after I touch the text conversation-balloon icon on my phone's desktop, I have to go through another step of pressing something else to open the message area & I also don't like that the 2nd step involves pressing Google's advertisement for itself in the form of a button that says "Open Google Messages." ETC.
  • I don't like ANYTHING about the crappy Google messages. I absolutely hate it and if given the choice I definitely wouldn't have it on my phone and as stated before if my Samsung phone wasn't new I'd switch brands as I'm now planning to do with my next phone purchase. Loyalty means nothing to big companies anymore. All you all want is max your profits while producing cheaper crap for your consumers.🤬
  • messages not sent, random messages sent, application is worthless
  • Opening display, deleting process, when viewing an attached video, it changed the view to a long picture, total different view. Do not like display, deleting process or what it does to videos.
  • The texting is awful. Once you start typing in you message the screen remains still. It doesn't scroll down as you type so you can see what you are typing. You have to exit the keyboard to read your message and make sure the cursor is at the end so you can start typing again. Also the auto correct doesn't make sense. It pulls up misspelled word or word that don't even pertain to what is being typed. This app is the worst I have felt with. You can't like photos and only sometimes you can like a text during a conversation. The other text app options for this phone are a joke. I am about ready to switch my phone entirely. With all the new technology this is awful.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Slack is like a virtual office space where you can interact with all company members. You can add apps to it, you can create your own apps, you can link it to right about any software out there.
  • Slack is very user friendly and keeps all team communication in one place. I liked how easy it is to find messages, share files, and stay connected with coworkers.
  • Channels are impeccable for keeping conversations organized. Terrific for instant files and documents sharing. Great notification to keep us updated all the time.
  • I like how it boost team collaboration through messaging,video conferencing and live chat. I also like how it saves time while joining chats. Amazing customer support.
  • I found Slack as a perfect tool for collaborating and integrating other project tools. The interface is clean and the best part is it's available on cross platforms. The setup process was straightforward and it allowed me to create a custom channel to share files, discuss and track progress related to my project with assigned groups.

Cons

  • It takes some time getting used to its environment. Too many channels and notifications can sometimes feel overwhelming.
  • When there are many channels and active conversations, Slack can feel cluttered and hard to keep up with.
  • Effective with notification for quick updates on changes.
  • I have nothing to dislike at the moment since Slack is absolutely amazing with it’s work.
  • I had a great experience with Slack, no major cons.
