Having spent two decades in online meetings and conf calls with many partner companies, both SME's and Corporates, in my experience the only thing that 'just works' right of the bat under all circumstances is GoToMeeting [1].
For in-company meetings you can of course use whatever you feel comfortable with, but when it comes to large meetings with many external parties, some of which will phone in, many of which are very restricted in what they are allowed on their computer, nothing beats GoToMeeting (no affiliation), and I have tried or been forced to try a lot of different solutions.
For email we use O365/Outlook. Although I use GMail for personal/family stuff, I find the Outlook client still beats everything else out there for business matters, and O365 mail has been pretty solid the last few years.
As for planning, notes, follow up, tracking etc. We use Tasks in a Box [2] (full disclosure, I am affiliated with an investor in this company). It integrates very well with Outlook and has been pain free and solid since the 2018 release.
I don't like Slack, nor Teams. Skype used to be fine for persisted chats but they ruined it. I'd love Discord for business. I use it with colleagues and some like-minded companies, but as of now it is not acceptable for many businesses.
