Slack continues to grow at a fast clip despite strong competition from Microsoft and other large vendors.Slack effectively created the market for team-based chat tools when it debuted four years ago, and has since seen a slew of competitors launch rival products.
According to the latest user adoption stats released by the company, Slack now counts 8 million daily active users across more than 500,000 organizations.
That up from 6 million last September, when the company touted $200 million in annual recurring revenues.
