Can't wait to see which Slack alternative wins after everyone jumps ship.

  Teams seems to be doing surprisingly well. Considering how many businesses have it "included" with their Office subscriptions, it just has to be good enough to avoid someone wanting to pay extra for an outside service. If Lync was half as good as Teams is now, companies like Slack never would've gotten off the ground.

    We still use Lync aka communicator aka skype. the killer feature is screenshare and exchange integration. its actually really hard to get some team members to join us on mattermost because they don’t see the point. :/ Looking forward to teams replacing mattermost and business skype going away.

      I always found Skype for Business/Lync got confused if you had the software installed but weren't part of the business' domain. My experiences with SfB were: 1. I'm an outside contributor to a company using my personal machine. And 2. My organization but whilst using another organization's hardware. In both cases, joining Skype for Business meetings was downright nightmarish.

    I am absolutely not going back to using Teams: it was a slower, buggier, poorly-designed and consistently weird application. Google isn't capable of putting together a useful chat and then keeping it alive for a meaningful amount of time to save their lives. Discord seems to be on a streak trying to re-invent their image as a competitor in the space, and having used it for enough gaming related things, I'd definitely consider it for work. Zulip seems to garner a lot of positive attention as well.

    Holy hell, Lync is one relic I haven't heard of in a long long time.
