My employer buys no Microsoft SaaS service, since we're mostly on Google services, so a stand-alone like Slack works quite well. And nobody uses Google Chat.
And besides that, the UX of Teams is miles behind Slack.

- quickthrower2 3y agoSlack is not good UX in my opinion. It is often hard to see what generated a message notification - so yeah someone called me out, but who? where?. It shows me latest thread as being from last month when I know there have been more recent ones. It doesn't collapse those threads, so 100 reply incident threads dominate that view. Slack doesn't scale well (UX-wise) above say 30 people.
- snoman 3y agoOpinions are valid, for sure. I can tell you that I’m a happy slack user at a company of just over a hundred thousand. I haven’t regularly used teams in about a year, but I would legitimately consider passing on a job offer where they used it. In a thread where many folks are talking about using the best tools for a job, teams is never the best tool for any form of digital communication.
