Actually, in terms of number of users, the present is MS Teams. Both companies release their numbers and it's not even close.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoNot surprised there. Plenty of companies already in bed with Microsoft. This allows them to maintain a "familiar" setup to everything else they have. Still feel like competitors can do better though. Microsoft Teams looks nice but people still have issues with it. I only used it long enough to not see those issues.
- bachmeier 7y ago> This allows them to maintain a "familiar" setup to everything else they have. What's important is that when you log into your email account, you're logging into Teams, Planner, etc. I recently started using Planner, as awful as it is (seriously, you can't even drag cards!) because I can't expect others to adopt a new tool.
- sascha_sl 7y agoAre these real active users, or just "so many accounts in the attched AD" though?
- bachmeier 7y agoNot sure, but I really don't believe Slack's numbers either. I have a Slack account that only occasionally gets used, so they probably count me. Whatever the real numbers might be, Teams is very heavily used. My university has Office 365 and Teams comes with it for free. No need to pay for Slack. No need to expect others to use a new tool and a new app and a new login when Teams is right there.
- eikenberry 7y agoCompletely due to bundling. My last employer was using Slack until MS basically told them they could have Teams for free as part of the O365 subscription.
