Slack Migration ToolFAQ
Why should I choose Roam over Slack?
Roam is a full HQ environment that includes a company visualization, presence, drop-in meetings, different kinds of rooms, group chats, video conferencing, screenshare & much more. Slack provides Group Chat, but does not have an HQ environment.For what kinds of companies is Roam superior to Slack?
Companies that have a distributed or global center of gravity greatly benefit from utilizing a virtual HQ environment like Roam instead of a chat system like Slack. This includes startups, AI technology companies, crypto companies, outsourcing firms, robotics companies, financial services companies like Mortgage brokerages or Accounting firms, professional services like law firms or consultants, and any other company with a distributed HQ.Can Roam work with Slack?
Yes, many of our customers run Roam side-by-side with Slack. There’s even a Roam/Slack integration that lets companies start a Roam meeting from a Slack channel by typing /roam.| Roam | Slack | |

Why Roam Over Slack?
Slack does NOT present a visualization of your entire company
- Slack does NOT show who is talking to who.
- Slack does NOT include video conferencing, screensharing & meeting transcripts.
- Slack does NOT include AI Meeting Summaries.
- Slack is owned by Salesforce & charges more as you get bigger, requiring pre-paid annual subscriptions.
- Slack provides a poor All Hands Experience.
- Slack’s UX hasn’t changed since 2014.
Awesome experience using Roam – recommend trying it out if you want to level up from slack / teams / zoom to a virtual office space!
Bartu KaleagasiTech Founder & VCWe have been using Roam since last year (and replaced Slack + Zoom). Of course it's different (if it weren't...it wouldn't be much of an innovation 😎 ), but for us it's been great. It's way more collaborative and it helps us be more connected with each other. Would recommend you trying!
Ramiro RoballosCo-Founder & CEOReally stoked on what the Roam team are building! I started my career working in an office, funny enough at a company (Yext) founded by Howard Lerman who is leading the Roam team. I strongly believe I benefited from being in an office environment early on in my career. I've been remote since 2018, and had never found anything that replicated the feel of being in an office. This is a game changer. A few of us at Global Lingo have been trying out our virtual office for a few weeks now and I'm hooked. If you have a distributed team and Teams, Slack, or Zoom aren't cutting it, I highly recommend giving Roam a try.
Kienan HanrahanSales DirectorBefore, when we were in Slack, we were having all of these conversations and going back-and-forth and back-and-forth, and it was just taking too long. Now, with Roam, when we want to solve a problem, we just hop into each other’s offices and just knock things out really quickly. I love that.
