Slack is eventually going to write native apps once they realize that productivity software shouldn't be developed like an ad product from Google. It will take Teams winning because it gets included in the Office 365 subscription for several quarters before they come to the realization that they need to compete on user experience.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoGoogle’s Ad product always had a desktop client called Adwords Editor.
- basch 7y agoan electron app (teams) beating them will lead them to the conclusion that they shouldnt use electron? I mean, I agree, losing mass marketshare SHOULD lead to a major shakeup on trajectory, and competing on desktop user experience would be a logical next step. But... back to the first sentence of this comment.
- Despegar 7y agoTeams is winning because it's being bundled with Office 365. The business model and distribution lets them compete effectively with an inferior product. Slack doesn't have that luxury.
- Guillaume86 7y agoTeams is so inferior I'm not sure they compete for the same market, when team chat become really important Teams is just not an acceptable option in my experience (we had to switch away from Teams last year because there was too many bugs/frustrating issues and basic features missing, like a actually usable search feature).
- basch 7y agoits about momentum though too. your point in time experience is quite different than the trajectory/velocity of the product, and its rate of change.
