If you have no existing messaging solution, Twist is a viable option. I can't find any reason to recommend it ahead of Slack, Spaces, Teams, Discord, etc. This is one more solution with team messaging functionality, and file sharing, and message archiving/searching. If budget is an issue, Twist can be replaced with a free solution like Discord.

Does not stand out at all. I can't think of any reason to select Twist over more popular choices like Slack, Teams, Discord, or Spaces. We use Twist because it forced on us by a specific scenario. Otherwise, we would just use an existing platform (ex: Slack) to handle this communication
