I understand that the old package (with Teams) is still available at the same price, and is still the default? So MS will still have about a very similar competitive advantage (IIRC Slack/Zoom cost way more than the extra €2).
- bastard_op 3y agoMost Slack users I think particularly pay the extra simply to NOT use anything Microsoft, and Teams in particular. Over the years I've had several customers with Teams I've had to participate in along side Slack, and it's a day and night difference, not only in the product, but levels of participation in each. With Slack orgs, people genuinely communicate casually and friendly, but in every Teams org, it's like people are afraid of saying anything like they're being monitored by the government. People seem to treat Teams like email, but more weird and dysfunctional as only Microsoft can make with something having to do with human interaction.
- Closi 3y agoThis does let Microsoft hammer home that Slack and Zoom are expensive, and also indicates that Microsoft's price is competitive.
