Best choice for Microsoft 365 organizations
We migrated from Slack to Teams two years ago as part of a broader Microsoft 365 standardization. The decision was primarily cost-driven – Teams is included in our E3 licenses, saving us $85,000 annually in Slack subscriptions.
The integration with Office apps is seamless. Co-authoring Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in real-time during meetings has transformed our collaboration. No more version control issues or email attachments – everything lives in SharePoint with proper versioning.
Video conferencing capabilities exceed our previous Zoom subscription. Live events for company-wide town halls support our 900+ employees, breakout rooms facilitate training sessions, and the Teams phone system replaced our legacy PBX entirely.
Security and compliance were critical factors in our decision. Teams provides the audit logging, retention policies, and eDiscovery capabilities our financial services firm requires. Data Loss Prevention policies prevent sensitive information from being shared inappropriately.

Included in Microsoft 365 - significant cost savings
Seamless Office app integration

Overpriced and underdelivers
The sales process was great, but the actual product fell short. Features that were promised weren't available, and the ones that worked were clunky. Save your money and look at…Samuel
