Microsoft also had MindAlign, which was an excellent no-nonsense group chat originally spun off from UBS (!) and widely liked by its users at various big firms, mostly banks- basically it was like IRC with management tools and record keeping added to meet compliance and audit needs. Bits got folded into Lync/ Skype for Business but those were never as good and certain customers are still using the original product.
- xmcqdpt2 4y agoI work at a bank and we currently (but for how long??) use Symphony which is "Slack but for finance" https://symphony.com/ https://symphony.com/ It's way better than teams in core features, although integrations are missing, and it doesn't have call functionality.
