DD uses Slack; or rather, to clarify, DD studio uses paid Slack, DD consulting uses the ghost town that used to be the combined free DD Slack

Deloitte lets you use Slack? That's cool....Blocked here....

like

It's not for Deloitte, not sure if they use it internally

I'm just saying it's blocked on the PwC VPN and the app is blocked; I have to turn off VPN and access through a browser for my client. Submitted an exception request and no one responded.

DD is retiring slack in most studios. Check in for the latest app

Is there an alternative that's better than slack?

Slack seems to go down frequently these days

@DD2: Not in the US, they aren't...

Our team uses WhatsApp

You can use Asana; the new task manager app by Microsoft (its web based and pretty slick)

@AC1 Asana was founded by ex-Facebook (including the former CTO), not Microsoft (although Microsoft released their own competitor last year), but yeah I've found it pretty useful and you can integrate it with Slack if you like
