Slack may seem like WhatsApp, but it’s far more professional. It can be described as a chat room for the whole company, as it allows you to organize discussions with teammates and of course exchange private messages.

Moreover, it tracks who is online and offline. Lastly, it’s a business tool, which means you won’t pile up your work discussions on your personal WhatsApp.
