Sorry but if you think large-scale companies are going to use a platform designed for gaming as their main support channel - no.

We've had one "Enterprise" supplier move from Slack to Discord. Their community manager in this case did not understand my argument of why this is a bad thing and kept pushing it. For example when I said there is no SSO, they said there is (of course not realising WE have to pick up the bill to set that up - also puts the work on CISOs to investigate the tool for larger use).

Now they are on Discord and I will not share any NDA-related material there - nor would our Security and Data Privacy team like us to.

At least they agreed to keep the Slack Connect in this case.



Last I checked there was zero security on embedded images/docs. If you had the URL, you could view the content. That was a big no-no for our team and why discord lasted all of one month for us.
