@bobkevin I don't think Microsoft's goal here is to get existing Slack users to switch to Microsoft Teams. They are probably going after large enterprises that just won't use Slack because of their strict security restrictions. These companies are already existing Office 365 customers so it would be a great addition to the stuff that they are already paying for. Why should a large company pay for Slack when they can get this free with their existing Office 365 subscription? Plus, it has all the normal Microsoft security you would expect, crazy integration with OneDrive for business etc. It appeals to a certain kind of customer that isn't already using Slack but would like something similar. There are a lot of companies that fit this description that are already Microsoft customers. It just makes sense that Microsoft released Teams.

@palavalli @bobkevin I agree. There is still a huge market out there for team collaboration within large organizations – Slack works well for small to medium size teams only. I agree, offering this as a bonus to existing Office 365 is huge! This product seems to have a lot of potential to move into a space with very few competitors (even FB's Workplace isn't really the same).

Looks like this thing I use at work called "Slack" but not as good.

Review Microsoft Teams?

Reviewers broadly see Microsoft Teams as a dependable hub for work and study, praised for bringing chat, meetings, channels, calendars, and file sharing into one place, especially alongside Microsoft 365 tools like Outlook, Office, and SharePoint. They often call it easy to use and useful for remote or hybrid teamwork, with mobile access and meeting setup standing out. The main complaints are familiar: a cluttered interface, too many notifications, laggy calls, heavy memory use, and occasional sync or update issues.
