We're a team of five people all remote and in different time zones. We use Slack, and its been great, but we also use Office 365. Teams with its wide integration with all the different MS products is really cool. What I see missing here is mobile apps, and 3rd party integration. Once those are available we'll have no reason to pay the extra $300 a year for Slack.
- mingyeow 10y agowhy office 365 vs google docs?
- Yabood 10y agoThere are many reasons really, but the most important one is that we're a .NET shop, and run our stack on top of Azure. Office 365 integrates well with Azure and everything MS. AD and Exchange management, SSO, MSDN, etc.. It all just works.
- devopsproject 10y agonot op but office365 includes desktop versions of word, excel, outlook, etc and they are faster and have more features.
- enraged_camel 10y agoNot all license types include the desktop apps. Lower-tier licenses are web-only.
- shmed 10y agoPretty sure Web only became totally free a couple years ago. All paid version include desktop version too.
- hisyam 10y agoExcel is still superior to Google Sheets.
- shostack 10y agoIn many ways comically so, even over the Mac version of excel which is arguably worse than the Windows version.
- Eridrus 10y agoThis does have mobile apps: https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads That would have been a huge omission.
- crandycodes 10y agoFYI - click on a channel's "..." and click on "connectors". Tons of 3rd party integrations + custom webhooks. (Disclosure: I work for MSFT, but on Azure, not on Teams/Office/etc.)
