Slack

What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

It greatly reduces the number of emails and allows integration across all form factors (phone, tablet, laptop) and across all OSs (Android, Windows, iOS). It has integration with many of the other productivity tools (Trello, G Drive, Dropbox, RSS, etc.) in order to manage and interact across your product suite, but I think Asana has this as well so that's likely the same.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to incorporate Slack into other systems is the feature I find most useful. It's useful for both hybrid and fully remote workplaces since it functions as chat software in real-time and asynchronous. I also like the ability to set a reminder to return to a particular subject or ping a specific person later. Slack's plethora of add-ons, features, and integrations have made it possible for me and my coworkers to work collaboratively from anywhere in the world while maintaining clear and compelling lines of communication. It's terrific that you have a secure means of communicating with colleagues from different companies.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Slack is our primary method of internal and external communication at my company. We can discuss technical issues and, as necessary, offer screenshots or videos to illustrate our points. If you have tried various IM options but are still having trouble with email, you should give Slack a go, there are many features to explore.
