We tried it at work, I wanted to like it but it was often slow, some features only sort of work due to the way they are integrated with office 365 and lastly, too much conversation emphasis. Now, at our workplace, for dev related items, basically 'I'm the guy'. I have been in IT for ~ 30 years and try to keep up on most areas. That being said, I have to say I really don't find the conversation thread communication style all that helpful on technical projects. So, teams, slack etc don't seem as handy to me as perhaps others find them. Getting back to teams, one of the primary failings was that the schedule and tasks integration looks ok on the surface, but once you try to use it you quickly run into serious roadblocks. Can't combine project schedules into a global view. Navigation of multiple lanes is tedious as every lane scrolls independantly and the scroll bars helpfully disappear on you etc etc. I filed numerous helpful suggestions but never saw much progress on things that seemed basic requirements. In the end we have put it aside and are using other tools now. Maybe your mileage will be better though.
