Looks like gmail (as part of Google suite) is getting a major update next week which will make slack obsolete. Hunch is most companies using slack already use Google suite for email, cloud storage, etc. If that’s the case, why would any company still pay for slack? Poll to check what combination is used in your company. If your answer is slack and something else, pls comment what that something is. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/07/15/google-bundles-video-calls-and-chat-into-gmail-for-business-users.html
Yep. Big move. messaging and video chat /conference etc.
Microsoft teams and Office 365 Tbh, teams seems much better than Slack. But discord is the best. So Discord > Teams > Slack
Teams better than slack ?🙄
For video calling, yes. For chatting, Slack wins.
It’s not gonna happen. The next chat app by google isn’t going to be more successful than the last 20. Not to mention there will be pushback from other company employees—if you’ve been at a startup using MSFT Teams instead of Slack you’ll know the conversation. Companies using Office 365 still get pressure to use Slack instead of Teams, G Suite will have the same result.
Lmao another app that'll be added to Google graveyard of failed products. I was rooting for Google to expand into this space for so many years but they've proven inept at every chance they got.
Eh, most people that pay for Slack pay for integrations and back end customizations that your average user doesn't interact with. Most of the value of Slack isn't in using it for a chat tool.
The question is... can you integrate Giphy with Suite? It’s a half joke. You would be surprised how people can get stuck with habits and small details. That’s why messaging apps that were created 10 years ago are still there alive despite all the innovations in the ecosystem. I’m genuinely excited but was also excited about Buzz, Duo or Spaces, which were ignored by the public. So we’ll see 🤷🏻♂️
Google owns tenor so maybe that
Slack is leaps and bounds ahead. It may sound easy but it's not easy to steer organization on new tool . Google has tried and failed successfully on so many attempts so not trusting Google for anything. Teams is a shitty product compared to Slack and MS is better in corporate tools.
Google keeps making products only to dump them later ... And we already know how bad google meets is ....
This sounds like an odd variant of what we already use internally. It's not a slack killer, but likely a good alternative for companies cutting cost I guess.
Office sucks
Go g-suite and you’ll think office was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
G suite is better than office 365. Microsoft cant make cloud products
