Slack is the front runner in business communication. With their channel-based messaging platform, they are able to facilitate team communication and align on goals to drive businesses to success. No other messaging platform has the secure technology stack abilities to work at scale for large enterprises. With the option to connect multiple tools and services to the Slack platform, people can work most effectively within their organization.

Channels are one of Slack's main features. They provide people with the option to discuss specific topics and understand the common goal while staying on track. When you create a channel, you have the option to invite as many people as possible, give it a unique title, or make public or private to the rest of the company. Additionally, with those who decide to join the channel in the future they will have full access to previous conversations. In general, channels are there to alleviate the gaps in communication within an organization in a more productive manner.

Their Slack Connect feature provides a secure way to communicate with those who are not within your organization such as external partners, clients, and vendors giving you the option to replace the back and forth of email. With their enterprise-grade security, one can feel confident that their messages are secure during collaboration. Separately, the chances of email phishing and spam attacks are drastically reduced with the elimination of inboxes.

Other notable Slack features include Huddles and Clips which gives colleagues the option to connect quickly via audio with or without video depending on one's preferences. Overall, Slack is constantly working to become one of the most accessible messaging platforms in the world so that everyone can have the chance to use their features.
