It's very interesting how different people's experiences are. I worked for a company that used both Slack and Teams, and Teams always caused issues, was unstable, and had many video problems. Slack worked much more reliably for us. Perhaps it's a platform issue? Nobody in our workplace used Windows, everyone was either Linux or OSX.
- version_five 4y agoI've found teams > slack for video and stability on OSX, but slack has a better UI. Both have been mostly unusable for me on linux though I think it may also be machine dependent (I had an XPS13). I've never tried them with windows
- ethbr0 4y agoThe biggest problem with Teams is everything outside of chat/video that it tries to do. Did you know Teams had apps? Inside of it?! 90% of the problems I encounter with Teams (bad UX, crashing, freezing, corrupted sessions) would be removed if they deleted every feature outside of chat/video and more loosely coupled themselves to Office365/Exchange.
- progman32 4y agoI think the Linux thing is machine dependent. I used a Dell Latitude something-or-other (7490? idk) for about 3 years, but it was the version that shipped with Ubuntu. Rock solid on Slack, and Teams mostly just had company-wide issues for us. But my colleague with the same model laptop and same Ubuntu version had no end to trouble with both Slack and Teams - turns out, the Windows version of the laptop had different internals and it struggled mightily. It was mostly GPU issues. Just thought that was interesting, mine is probably not a useful anecdote.
- superfrank 4y agoI'm with you, man. I went Skype -> Hipchat -> Slack -> Hipchat -> Teams -> Slack and feel Slack is the superior tool.
- _vbnz 4y agoYeah, Hipchat and Flowdock were reasonable Slack alternatives but Teams is a complete nightmare.
