- Zoom, GoToMeeting and Cisco Webex Meetings
Teams integrates well with all our use of Microsoft Office 365. It is easier to start out as a large meeting and break into smaller groups and easier to share collaborated documents and files than the other solutions that we tried. I feel that it has better support than the other solutions as well.

Microsoft Teams for Teams is A++
Alternatives Considered
We used Adium in the past for our direct department and HipChat company-wide. I didn't mind HipChat so much, but it didn't have nearly as many features as Teams offers. Adium was a big pain in my butt because it is used for not just the company, but everything else you are connected to. I don't like having people from my personal life on a chat on my computer. Teams has definitely been the best fit for us.
Alternatives Considered
- Slack and Google Hangouts
Unlike Slack and Google, Microsoft Teams is more complete and has more integrations possible, which in Turn makes it a more productive software. Slack does have more personalization, and the chat feature is better there, but Teams is an all-around software that can't be beaten in terms of the integration with Office 365.
Alternatives Considered
Teams is nice because of the Microsoft integration.

MS Teams a wonderful small business application
Alternatives Considered
I have not used any other meeting or chat software that is business-oriented.
Alternatives Considered
Microsoft Teams offers a wider variety of app integration, but Trello does a better job of organizing to do lists / check lists / tasks, etc. Because of this we use Trello within Microsoft Teams to organize various boards of work, which provides the best of both worlds. Other ways of organizing work such as with Excel spreadsheets / Google Drive just don't offer the same level of visibility and collaboration that Microsoft Teams does.

Microsoft Teams is the robust and integrated collaboration platform I have been waiting for.
Alternatives Considered
Microsoft Teams is a clear winner for robustness and for integration. It has the entire Office 365 toolkit in its corner and for an enterprise level solution, it doesn't have many peers, at least at that level of comprehensiveness. There are some peers that might compete well in the communications category, some in the collaborations category, some in the knowledge base category, but none in the overall integration with Office 365, which is what our platform is fully using.

Communicate quickly and efficiently.
Alternatives Considered
Slack, Zoom, GoToMeeting. We selected Teams for our current small 3 person organization because of easy of management and cost since it is included with our Office 365 subscription as a company.

Microsoft Teams works well for smaller, globally based teams
Alternatives Considered
I've used Slack briefly, I found it to be more of a chat tool, rather than a spot to post topics and have different channels, although, I do think it can do that. I do not believe Slack can be used for video chatting, but I may be wrong about that. I didn't feel like Slack was as secure as Teams and the notifications were lacking.
Alternatives Considered
Microsoft Teams houses Skype for Business, OneDrive and MS SharePoint all under one platform. It makes it convenient to use all three pieces of software under one app, plus access many more. However, as far as project management, Microsoft Teams, does not compare to Asana as far as how much more dynamic and functional Asana is. Microsoft Teams is very limited when it comes to project tracking and planning.
Alternatives Considered
We previously had Microsoft Sharepoint available to our team but never used it because we didn't find it convenient or user-friendly. We had to spend more time trying to figure out how to best use it, and we essentially gave up. I think that's because Sharepoint is mostly just for storage - and we needed a collaboration tool, which is precisely what we found with Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams - A lot to it!
Alternatives Considered
- MS SharePoint and Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Teams is an evolution and shift from Skype for Business. It has many of the same functions and allows for even more features and functionality in that communications based workstream. Teams continue to use SharePoint as the storage and file+content services backend, so this is also a bit of an evolution as opposed to a replacement. The difference Teams brings is, you can work with those files in ways that are often easier and more productive.
Alternatives Considered
I personally like Skype and have used it in all other places of business. I found it easy to use, it synced well with business practice, and was more counter-intuitive. Teams took awhile for our company to roll-out and communicate, but once people latched on, it's helped increase communication, engagement, and efficiencies. I think Teams have a lot of work to do in the audio & visual department - the calls drop and are often glitchy. I've preferred Skype to Teams in this arena.

Microsoft Teams - Can’t Live Without You
Alternatives Considered
I think Teams is ahead of the game. Its tight integration with the Microsoft suite has no rival. Having Azure as the backend provides a secure environment in the cloud with content accessible anytime anywhere. Microsoft is heavily investing in the product and constantly adding new features like the recently added private channels.

Collaboration and Communication Tool for All Teams
Alternatives Considered
We didn't really evaluate any platforms like Microsoft Teams. It was really replacing the multiple systems we were using prior to the Teams implementation including Skype for Business, OneNote, and manually sending documents back and forth. Microsoft Teams has cut down on the number of apps we now use and how we are able to communicate and collaborate now.

Teams, the natural progression from Skype for Business
Alternatives Considered
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Microsoft Teams is the natural progression from Skype, and you would notice the lack of features if you had to move back.
Alternatives Considered
A must try for all corporate IT professionals working across the world. Once you get familiar with the product, you will be able to utilize it properly. Microsoft designed and incorporated all essential features in Teams needed for IT business, keeping the existing basic functionalities of its previous product Skype for Business.

With Zoom we found some security vulnerabilities in the software and we choose Microsoft Teams.

The Right Fit for a Microsoft Heavy Workplace
Alternatives Considered
The main advantage of Microsoft Teams over these suites comes down to interfacility with other Microsoft Programs used ubiquitously in the office. Both of the other softwares have advantages in other respects for VoIP and group management, but Teams just fits in with the other software already in use.

Microsoft Teams needs a serious UI/UX overhaul, and for now there are better options out there
Alternatives Considered
I do not use Microsoft Teams if I can avoid it, because I can get the same type of work done in Slack, which has a much more intuitive user interface and is more modern in terms of functionality. I also use Skype for Business more regularly because it uses fewer computer resources than Teams, so it doesn't slow down my system as much.

Microsoft Teams is the future of business collaboration software.
Alternatives Considered
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
We briefly used Skype for Business, and it worked fine but Microsoft Teams was sort of taking over for Skype so we went ahead and moved that direction and haven't looked back. It has more features and is the future of business collaboration software.
Alternatives Considered
- Discord and Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Skype Business and Discord are both products that I have used. Skype worked well for chatting and sharing files between users, although it was a little more simplified. Discord was similar to Skype, except functioned more like a forum with groups that were able to chat and share files. Microsoft Teams is a combination of both of these programs, and does a good job at encompassing all the functionality that they possess.
