My team uses https://www.donut.com/ and https://officevibe.com/ but I'm pretty sure we're on the free tier for both.
Do you work in a team that pays monthly for any cool Slack apps or integrations? Which ones? If you're not the one paying, do you find it useful - or annoying?
Cheers!
My team is slowly leaving Slack. We are transitioning to Mattermost. So far so good.
No. I see more and more dependencies against Slack (e.g., platform tools to create Jira issues, or request permissions, etc.) I think it's a dangerous path: Slack will die (sooner rather than later I believe) and suddenly we'll face a bunch of workflows that do not work anymore.

I would suppose their pricing model is not competitive.
I cannot imagine that any medium company would invest the time and money necessary to quit slack. Especially when you have bots everywhere.
It’s not that it’s undoable but you have to replace it with something reeeeaaaally awesome to justify the pain.
Today Slack is pretty meh, there may be better alternatives considering your use case but nothing so awesome that you would do it.

Yes but however, due to all the integrations everywhere, their retention rate must be incredible. I cannot imagine that any medium company would invest the time and money necessary to quit slack.

In my experience Teams is winning, but not because anyone wants to use it.

You would be surprised at the "cost savings" companies will do to make their most expensive assets waste time.

I think Slack is mostly getting squeezed by Microsoft Teams. Mattermost is good, but Teams is killing Slack in most enterprises and it is just going to get worse.
