    Slack limits itself to specific workspaces of teams. If you want to communicate between organizations or teams, shared channels are hard to setup and manage. AirSend doesn't have those issues.

    I think the combination of communication and task/file management makes Airsend an excellent tool. They are always including new features. Best of all it is Free.

    Slack is a communication/chat tool. Basecamp is project management.

    It is completely free for education users, and allows deeper integration with files and documents, allowing chat to be just that: chat. It also allows for several levels of organization and just about everything is customizable.

    One of the best Slack alternatives. It's more private due to being hosted in Germany (and therefore under German law), and even more so because unlike Slack it offers end-to-end encrypted messaging, which means what you say to your colleagues cannot be intercepted by the host company or given away to the NSA.
