While I was aware of the MS product, I never took it seriously (I mean, it's from the same company that rebranded Lync to Skype for business).
Now that Slack has posted this, I intend to give this a look and a trial (hopefully it does not require an O365 subscription) as it just tells me that Slack is either annoyed or scared of Skype teams (either one being a good enough reason for consumers to check it out)
- greenhatman 10y agoI think they're scared that Microsoft Teams will take part of the enterprise market segment. The part that already uses a lot of other Microsoft products. So Slack will likely lose out on that now. People who don't use anything Microsoft will likely not take a second look at Microsoft Teams. I'd personally probably rather look at something open source and self hosted, if I was going to move away from Slack. The only real thing that I image Microsoft Teams would be able to do that Slack can't, is integrate with MS tools better and easier.
