As a cost savings measure my employer recently moved our entire organization from Slack to Microsoft Teams. I used to assume both products were similar, but I have much more appreciation for Slack as a product now.
Managing notifications for monitors/alarms is much more painful in Teams. You can’t organize channels how you wish, they always have to be part of a parent team. The performance of Microsoft Teams seems much more laggy when opening or searching for conversations. Built-in Slack features like Slackbot reminders are nonexistent in Teams. I am interested to see how our development organization adapts to this transition.

Slack may be less than ideal but it is so much better than Teams. But its not organizational memory, its really for basically ephemeral comms. Yes, you can dig back for stuff but its not great for that, and finding things is horrible.
