Slack is a messaging service where you can communicate with your colleagues, attend online meetings, share file, and more. Integration of web apps makes Slack smarter as it centralizes all your notifications, from sales to tech support, social media and more, into one searchable place where your team can discuss and take action on each.

Slack allows you to create departmental groups, and converse with your team members/ vendors to collaborate on projects together. Slack allows for a real-time conversation on tasks/ project progress.

The free plan in Slack is extremely comprehensive, as it allows for unlimited users and messages to be sent across the platform. It also gives you up to 10,000 searchable messages.

Overall Slack is very different from your regular task management tools as it focuses most on communications. One of the primary reasons for inefficiencies in tasks is the lack of communication, so this platform is great for companies/ teams that need to work collaboratively on projects/ tasks regularly.
