Better yet- has anyone switched from Slack?

I haven’t heard of anyone using Microsoft Teams at all. They surely must, I see the numbers. But of my friends that work at basically every app company you’d have on your phone, they’re only growing their Slack usage and paying more. So is it just huge corporate things that are too deep in Microsoft to switch?

    Our 5000+ employee corporate conglomerate uses it. Mostly coz it’s part of office 365.

    Also fun fact, I interviewed at Amazon a few months ago and none of my interviewers knew what slack was.

    It must be included in some office 365 bs and that’s where they get their numbers. Never met anyone that’s used it.

  • If you already have office 365 for your company why would you pay for slack?

    Beating Slack in quality and user experience? No. Will never happen.

    Beating Slack in pricing? Absolutely. They practically give Teams away.

    Beating Slack in total volume of users? Sure. If everyone from (Lync, Skype, and whatever else MS had) is force migrated into Teams, they will have tens of millions of users more than Slack.

    None of this means Slack goes away.

      What do you think about discord vs slack in pure user experience POV?

  • My previous company of 15000+ migrated to teams from slack. Many tech companies go for slack, but the buck does not end there. There are tons of industries outside tech that Microsoft teams have great deal of dominance.
