We tried Slack, but we're cheap, so we tried Ryver (free alternative). Ryver sucked in many ways. We'd been using TeamWork projects for a while, so when they released a beta Chat program, we tried it out. Then Ryver became a paid service, and it was obvious TWChat was the replacement.
Now our business basically functions around TW Chat and Projects.
The browser app is amazing. It does notifications, drag-and-drop file uploads, even copy/paste of screenshots right into the chat box. They have native apps, but you really don't need them. The browser app is that good.
Their customer service team is also super friendly, knows the product inside and out, and response time is better than average.
Pros:FREE!!!, Fast, Great mobile app, integrates with TeamWork, browser-app does everything desktop apps do
Cons:Mobile app could handle spotty cell service better (but it's still great!)

We're a team of 15+ and have been using Teamwork Chat for well over a year now (having switched from using Slack). Overall we are very happy with it and love the fact it stores our entire chat history.
Pros:- stores unlimited chat history
- native iOS and Android apps work really well
- free!
- can add task directly into Teamwork Projects
Cons:- doesn't have nearly as much integration with other tools as Slack does

Great product and very easy to use and to educate others on using. Simple and sweet. Very clean and has some great features that enhance the projects module like channels for a specific project.
Pros:Very simple and integrates nicely with projects. Replaces text at work and seperates work conversations from personal chats.
Cons:None that I have found so far.

Great for keeping the finger on the pulse of the company

Email integration for those who still rely on it is nice to help with changing habits.
Pros:simple and great Teamwork projects integration
Cons:getting others to drop email is still the cost of change

It's a great tool to add to your Teamwork Project account.

I love paste functionality.
Needs volume control for notifications, and a lot more settings for notifications and other things too.
Need to be able to create a new message faster.
Need to be able to filter/choose a message and start typing faster, preferably all while on the keyboard.
The next things are more minor, but I think important down the road.
Need more options on the message bar to make features obvious.
Maybe add ability to type out code (copy paste works great).
Need a link to a feature list or tutorial for new users to explain all the possible things you can do.
This may be just a personal opinion, but in the UI, a channel and a conversation are too similar. Given that their features are very similar as well, if they serve different purposes then I think it would be best to somehow highlight their differences by not having them filtered and sorted in the exact same way just in a different tab. In general, I'm not sure about the 3 tab system - or maybe I just need it to be better explained. I spend 99% of my time in the conversations tab.
Pros:chat features are great
Cons:lack of many settings, can't create a new message fast enough

I love this app and the whole TeamWork. We cannot imagine our work without these two!
Pros:incredibly clear chat for the whole team, both mobile app and PC program, interconnected with Teamwork tasks, totally free!, amazing support
Cons:can't name a group conversation, can't use emotions in the desktop app (only on smart phone)

Slack runs the risk of getting bloated like Evernote did.
If you use it as research base, integrate the key features, leave the rest out and find out the one or other magic sauce for teamwork chat specificall you will be more competitive and resource efficient. Please don't try to be heros or bloat this up. The 20/80 Copycats for Free and add some valuable stuff on your own and that's all one can wish for.
Pros:- Free
- Integrates with Teamwork Projects
Cons:- Lack of integrations with other tools
