Is MS Teams channels really so bad that we’d pay $16/mo per user for something else?
4 comments

Yes. It'd be worth paying $16/mo to opt out of MS Teams.

Although, it's as much about the culture of the companies that use MS Teams as it is about the software itself.

No, and you also shouldn't hire people that think that a company's culture is dictated by which chat app they use. Very stupid.
“Dictated” no, “highly influenced by,” yes. It’s insane someone could think otherwise.

If your organization communicated by carrier pigeon, it’d make some types of organizations and cultures and solutions possible while precluding others.

Obviously communication methods influence organizations :|

We switched to Campsite and our mode of thinking changed immediately. Suddenly we were able to have long-lived, complex conversations. Which is important to us as a company that has to solve complex problems over long periods of time.

Tell me you've never used Teams without telling me you've never used Teams.
I use Teams on the daily, and think it is a legit question.

On the one hand, the app crashes at least once a day. On the other, haven't seen this issue of distracting notifications or important discussions being drowned out by chatter. Those are constantly brought up with Slack.

I use Teams, Google Meet and Zoom on a daily basis in my current projects.

For me Google Meet is superior, then Zoom 2nd and Teams 3rd.

BUT, all of them are fine. You won't catch me complaining about any.

I use Teams on a daily basis and it's fine. That said I've never really used any other chat software for a similar purpose so have nothing to compare it to.
yes
