| Saying you and your wife find Slack superior is a bit lie preaching to the choir on these forums, no? Let me give a different anecdote. When I open up teams, I have one account, I log in and have access to all other things in the account. Basic software behavior we're all used to. When I open up Slack, it does or does not want me to login again based on if I've been on this server before. It may or may not want me to make a new account depending on if I've made one on this server before. I try all of my emails with all of my potential passwords to see if login works, if not new account time I guess? Instead of Discord were you can see all of your servers, Slack separates this all out that makes the entire user experience (at least for me) completely abysmal. Then don't even get me started with a lack of usernames and having intentionally hard-to-find ID. Again, why not do what Discord does and do Username#6789? Instead I have to search my friend 'John Doe' and hope it's the John I'm thinking of and not some random other John that I just invited to see all my business's internal discussions. To sum up my 2 cents: Teams is about the same as Zoom with some text-based chat functionality thrown in and some neat Outlook calendar integration. Slack is just Discord that is way, way worse. Comparing the two doesn't even make sense, but at least Teams does better in it's respective category. |
Slack I have one account and it logs in through SSO. sidebar, message window, thread. It seems pretty cohesive, and mostly customizable.
Teams I have the kitchen sink navigation experience, full of dark patterns and mediocrity.
One thing I will say for teams - since they were competing with other meeting software, they did add a good direct link from calendar to teams meeting.
