Chat platforms are a way of life for businesses and consumers alike. But maybe even more so for businesses as they need the ability to communicate between employees, departments, and other companies. Two programs worth exploring are Slack and Sendbird for your communication needs.
Slack and Sendbird are both chat programs that allow users to chat with others in a group or separately. Employees can chat via messaging, video, and audio. Both systems work on multiple devices, so you can stay connected wherever you go. These systems help improve communication and help keep your team organized.
Slack and Sendbird allow employees to remain focused and on task instead of getting distracted by waiting for a phone call or email or getting up and leaving their office/cubical. You will find that a communication program helps your team complete tasks and projects more efficiently.
Slack is a chat system specifically designed for companies. Users can chat through messaging, audio, and video chat.
Chats are organized in two different ways. The first is by project so everyone can see what's going on with the project. The second is individual, direct messaging. Employees can send files over the platform or search for them in the system.
Slack offers multiple plans starting at $6.67/user/month, with an Enterprise plan perfect for large firms.
Sendbird is a chat platform where employees can send chats via messaging, audio, and video. Users can use the platform on almost any device, making it user-friendly.
Technically, Sendbird was actually designed for general, public use. The platform wasn’t explicitly intended as a company chat system. However, the technical support for the program is exceptionally knowledgeable about the product if you run into any issues.
Sendbird provides their plans on an annual basis starting at $399/month; they also have an Enterprise plan for large firms.
