Seems like a shame that it is bundled with the overhead of Office 365. Makes Slack feel like a lighter-weight option.

- deanclatworthy 10y agoWhat overhead? If you don't want the other stuff don't use it.
- addicted 10y agoYeah I don't get it. Even if you completely ignore the non-Teams aspect of it, you are still paying less money than for Slack. Unless by overhead you mean whatever is the exact opposite of overhead.
- gtirloni 10y agoWould it be much cheaper and easier to activate if it wasn't bundled with Office 365? I think that's where aarpmcgee was getting at. In any case, this looks like a much better value proposition than Slack. However, I can test Slack in a second by going to their website. If I want to test MS Teams, I need to think about Office 365, sign up, find where to enable it, etc. Right now signing up for Slack is friction-less.
- douche 10y agoI believe that they are offering the tier of Office 365 that includes this (along with all kinds of other stuff) for less than Slack costs per month.
- brynjolf 10y agoIt takes nearly 2 seconds to switch from Teams to direct messages, that is inexcusable.
- basch 10y agoTeams is a webapp or a 68mb download. All of the other heavy lifting looks like sharepoint online in the background (onenote notebook, shared files.)
- KayL 10y agoYeah. And missing a free plan that couldn't enlarge the user base. You have to pay for every short-term contractor. It's not a good deal.
