Coming

from the hugely successful Microsoft 365 product family , Microsoft Teams is a communication platform that provides businesses with a comprehensive hub for team collaboration .

Ever since Teams was first announced , Microsoft has been directly competing with Slack for the greater share of the market . In fact , the rivalry even predates the Teams launch , with many reports stating that Microsoft initially planned to acquire Slack for US $ 8bn .

Currently , though , Microsoft Teams dominates the market , with its 270 million users ( as of 2022 ) far surpassing the 20 million of Slack .

Teams offers an extensive stack of tools , including workspace instant messaging and video conferencing , plus integration with a variety of other applications . Users can also utilise cloud storage and sharing tools , including Dropbox and Google Drive .
