Missive vs. Teams Manager for Microsoft Teams

It fills the gap between large commercial softwares for large companies, and for small companies. Most email hosts are just basic until you start bringing in video calls, chat, etc. Missive has that and more, and I think is the #1 email choice for small companies.

For different projects in a big organization different teams can be formed and thus their internal tasks assignments can be done there. It is easy to manage, assign tasks to people in a particular project. People or team leads in multiple projects can share different channels thus maintaining different projects. Users should be refrained of creating new teams just for fun purpose etc. to avoid to much chaos.

• Collaborative emails/drafts.
• Media sharing is streamlined.
• Highly flexible to external software/services.

• easy to manage team sites along with members and guest users
• helps managers to track the usage of apps and work done remotely

• Search functionality needs some work.

• I feel like the Shifts app could be more advanced to sync with Microsoft Outlook. It would be great to receive notifications in Outlook for Shifts and be able to approve/deny requests and schedule changes there while it's synced with the Outlook calendar.
• It would be nice if the interface allowed further customization such as assigning colors to the separate channels. Some channels within team sites are rather lengthy and it would be great to group them into color groups.
• Another nice feature would be the option to log in as one of your teammates so you can properly set up their Team account before they log in for the first time.

I can only compare to free services or to Outlook. I cannot go back to Outlook... Truly. Outlook hits all the right marks for a business, and Missive exceeds those marks and sets new standards. I joined a company that had already chosen Missive. I not only was able to pick it up intuitively, but I felt proficient at it within a couple of weeks and already felt my workflow and communication skyrocket.

As I mentioned before, we switched to Teams from Skype because it was more reliable. We did not experience interruptions in service especially for those departments working remote.

• Overall efficiency in our communication has probably tripled. We can draw a collaborative conclusion, in-office or remote, desktop or remote, within minutes assuming we are all available.
• We realize we are still "under-utilizing" this app. It can be a powerhouse if mastered.

• A centralized platform for the Operation Manager to handle and see the progress of different projects
• This makes it easy to handle everyone at one place thus reducing time in contacting individuals and taking the feedback on progress
• Knowing of any hurdles or bottlenecks in any project by just clicking on any channel and seeing their discussion. Thus guiding them then and there only.
