Why Microsoft Teams Has Been Overtaking Slack
Let’s breakdown the statistics and reasons why
Don’t get me wrong.
I am a major fan of Slack since it was released back in 2014. Having used the application extensively, the UI and UX make the product seamless, especially the little to no onboarding needed to set up the tool.
Slack makes it known that it has many more integrations than Microsoft Teams, with over 800 third party connections while Microsoft Teams has less than 200. This is especially useful for techies looking for specific integrations that Slack might have that Teams doesn’t.
Butterfield has said himself that he doesn’t see Teams as a competitor.
“What we’ve seen over the past couple of months is that Teams is not a competitor to Slack,” said Butterfield in an interview with CNBC
That being said, it is quite evident that although this statement was made, looking at the data and market share, Slack is, for the most part, competing with Teams.
