Pros & Cons
Slack
Pros
- The app ecosystem is very large, and tools such as ClickUp, Notion, HubSpot and Clockify can post updates into channels.
- Slack Connect lets teams work in shared channels with up to 250 outside organizations on paid plans.
- Compliance coverage is broad, including ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA configurability.
- Lists add table and board layouts with assignees, due dates and subtasks, without leaving chat.
- Workflow Builder automates routine requests and approvals without code.
Cons
- There are no native Gantt charts, dependencies, time tracking or portfolio reporting, so Slack doesn't replace a dedicated PM tool.
- Frequent notifications and busy channels can interrupt focus, a common complaint in reviews.
- The free plan keeps only 90 days of message history and allows 10 apps.
- Advanced AI features require Business+ or above, and per-user costs add up as teams grow.
- Reviewers report that finding older messages through search can be difficult.
Teamhood
Pros
- One plan includes every feature: Gantt, capacity planning, timesheets, automation and the API
- Kanban boards and Gantt timelines run on the same task data, with dependencies that reschedule automatically
- Hosting can be EU-based SaaS, dedicated, hybrid or on-premise, which helps teams with strict data residency rules
- Reviewers consistently praise how quickly teams adopt it, and it holds a 4.7 rating on G2
Cons
- There are no native iOS or Android apps
- The integration library is smaller than Jira's or ClickUp's, and less common apps need Zapier or the API
- The 3-user minimum, with guests counted as paid licenses, raises costs for small teams and for client access
- Some users report occasional time-tracking inaccuracies and few reminder email options
