> Microsoft is having success with aggressively pushing Teams because most enterprise IT is too small-minded to explore anything else.

Or alternatively, no other solution offers similar price/performance - They are having success because for most corporate subscriptions it is free. Also it's the most commonly used solution for business in the UK, so I have less problems with people joining teams calls than any other provider.

I don't think it's small mindedness - what other solution should they offer?

* Zoom - Awful internal messaging capability. A full office 365 subscription costs almost the same as a standalone zoom licence.

* Slack - No support for external conference calling without integration to another service.

* Google Meet - Makes sense if you use google suite, but not really if you use 365. Other than that not too bad.

* Webex - Awful client requires downloading which causes people to have issues half the time.
