Here are some of the more impressive Slack statistics I’ve been able to dig up recently. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
The team messaging app Slack has only been around for about a year, but it has certainly created quite a stir among influencers in its short existence. While it only has a few million daily users currently (a relatively small user tally these days), those who use Slack rave about the product and its user engagement stats are very impressive.
Slack stands poised to grow and become a real player in the enterprise group collaboration and chat market in 2018, so I wanted to take a quick look at some of their early numbers.
