What is Slack?
Who uses Slack?
Slack Integrations
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Slack in their tech stack.
We are a small bank and we have 5 VMware ESXi servers with mainly Windows Server VMs with numerous windows services installed and most of these servers have Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft IIS installed. Also we have some applications that have application logs (mainly in a db table) and we have a few Hangfire instances and one MQ Series server.
Now the management gave me the task of site reliability (I'm fairly new to this) which means all Windows Services must run 24/7 so I have to know if a service fails to start. All databases must run properly so I have to know locks, Query performance, and any SQL Agent job failures. The same goes for IIS websites/services must be up and running all the time.
In addition to these, I must collect all the Hangfire job failures(which are a lot) as well as general server metrics like CPU, RAM, I/O Disk, Disk sizes, etc.
On top of all these, I must setup alerts via Slack/sms or mail. Now the question which tool or a stack of tools can achieve all that?
So our web application also has native applications for Windows and macOS so we browser test can be done using any framework but we have 1-2 test cases that require validation from native application which will be opening after a user choose to switch from web part to native part using protocol handler, for e.g our website will prompt whether you want to open thin in application just like teams and Slack and open a native application on window or mac, which we are thinking of doing by integrating shell scripting and take screenshots, so I have a confusion with these two frameworks. or what other framework I can use to get my work done.
I have a website for publishing content, and we are around 10 people working on the website. So which task management or system will be best for us to handle the task, and manage the employee?
monday.com? Slack? Jell? Asana?
Which one will be best for our team?
Is it possible to integrate Trello with Slack? I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish this. Please suggest
I've used Slack for team communication but I'm looking for a new collaboration tool that allows advanced permissions.
- Enable/disable DMs.
- Private room, where only allowed members can communicate but still can't send DMs if it's disabled.
I'm considering Mattermost or RocketChat. Does anyone have experience with them? Otherwise, any recommendations?
Looking to replace Slack and Jira with something simpler, cost-effective, and easy on the eyes (makes management easier visually).
JIRA is great but not fun to use visually and hard to report with. Not easy just to look at quickly and go, "Okay, I know where we are."
Slack is fantastic for chat/comms but useless when it comes to threads and making to-do lists, and knowing where we are in that list.
