Chose Microsoft Teams
Teams is generally better and has a more professional "feel" than Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom. With Teams, access control is less easily managed than with Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom. Teams has better internal security than Zoom. I have never been "bombed" on Teams, whereas …
I prefer using Slack for text and quick video/audio calls. It is easy and has features like GIFs and other integrations built in. It's a nice one button way to communicate. We use Zoom for our more structured meetings and I use Zoom for my training sessions because I can plug …
We chose primarily because of the promised integration with the Microsoft Business Suite - which it mostly delivers on. That does give Teams an obvious advantage over competitors. IMHO Teams has a richer, more mature feature set, and the experience is more reliable and stable. …

The Office 365 suit contains everything needed for daily use such as document editing, spreadsheet, email client. The OneDrive is a great addition to that. Microsoft Teams allows the editing and access to files saved in OneDrive if ther are shared to you. Therefore, Microsoft …
Teams is the best of the company message tools that I have used so far because it integrates so many functionalities. Teams goes way beyond the instant messaging or video calls features with screen-sharing. It integrated with your calendar, enables you to do task tracking (e.g. …
Teams is lightweight as compared to all other applications. Screen sharing is flawless, filesharing is much more organized. Call scheduling is easier & integrated with emails. Video calls have an option of virtual background which is not there in other applications. Meetings are …
While we mostly use monday.com for our CRM needs, we still use Teams for our communication needs all day every day. We couldn't function as a team without Teams! The chat and meeting setup/scheduling function is so useful and easy to use. We have found that having meetings is …

The most noticeable thing that Microsoft Teams offers and Zoom lacks is providing the history of meeting chats. If you join a Zoom meeting late, you don't get any of the chat info (e.g. shared messages, files, contact info, weblinks) that were sent prior to you joining. With …

User experience is of a higher level and integrates well into Outlook. Using the tool to facilitate user testing with participants outside the company is a breeze too.
Microsoft Team is one of Microsoft's newest applications. Looking at the evolution of the Office suite, I can only imagine what Team will become with the next updates. It's a product that fills a need and has a lot of possibilities to evolve well. I would put it right in the …
I would say they’re the same, but Microsoft Teams is a more professional app & used more often in corporate environments. I’d use Microsoft Teams over Hangouts as I’m more accustomed to it now.

Microsoft Teams is just a nicer front end to SharePoint for file and document management but it also has a good communication network for internal and external parties. It's easy to use on mobile device as well. It also integrates well with Microsoft Power Platform etc, meaning …
Different teams can be created in Microsoft Teams. Communication can happen in the channels of these teams along with document sharing and collaboration with other members who have joined that team. It supports various file formats. Microsoft Teams integrates well with other …
MS Teams is the worst as compared to other tools in the market. Slack, Discord are way way better than MS Teams. I believe way more advanced than MS Team could ever achieve. I am really not sure how this trashy and buggy tool manage to get 8/10 on this platform. Shame.

Skype is now Microsoft Teams only. And the UI of teams is way more flexible and strong than Skype. Slack and Microsoft Teams have there own specific features, both are awesome to use.Slack is less costlier than Microsoft Teams

Zoom is not bad either but having a collaboration feature and file sharing, teams have the edge over Zoom.
Positive: The virtual workspace created for a work team within the same company, for the resemblance of information and communications in one place.Negative: The access for members of a non-profit organization who have external emails from the host but need the same access as an internal person since their volunteer work is part of the very core of the federation.
The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.
Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product
User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful. MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organizational communications. Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.
Using Microsoft Teams has resulted in much faster business communications with both co-workers and consultants. There has been little need for support with this software as the interface is very intuitive and the product is overall very well designed. We did encounter an issue with the built-in phone service, however, this was quickly resolved by the support team.
Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during meetings.
Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.
I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.
