  • Unlimited searchable message archives:
    currently we have reached a point where we can't access old discussions

  • Custom User Groups to reach a team or department:
    this might allow for bringing non-developers (like trial partners) in closer coordination with developers

  • Group voice and video calls, Screen sharing:
    currently we are improvising with whatever we have available (skype, hangouts, gotomeeting) for breakout sessions between team members, it could prove useful to consolidate those in a single technology

  • Unlimited apps and service integrations
    We currently use a minimal set of apps/integrations, one reason is that we can't, as the limit is only 10.
  • 10GB file storage per team member

  • Slack for non-profits / education: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204368833206646877-Slack-for-Education


Cons

  • Pricing: according to Benjamin Wulff: there are currently 42 users signed up - cheapest option on Slack is 6.25 eur per month per user thus 42 x 6.25 = *262.5 per month*, *3150,- per year* (because if you choose to charge by month it goes up to 7.50 per person per month) this does not include the discounts for non-profits/educational organisationseducation
