Pros

Pros

“I have used it in small research groups around five people to coordinate joint writing and programming projects, in university courses I teach with a larger number of students, and in a large research community with thousands of members.”
MG

Malvin G.

Assistant professor

“We also wanted something that would allow for voice and video calling and file sharing, and the ability to post your status so that each user can see at a glance who is available.”

Karin B.

Operations Manager

“There's a wealth of options for private and public channels, types of notifications and their behavior, and robust permissions.”

Cons

Not enoughreviews yet

Cons

“The biggest negative feedback we receive using the product is that it is up to the user to manually update a custom status, and custom statuses cannot be saved as a preset.”
KB

Operations Manager

“if you have a lot of channels & topics it can take a while to scroll through relevant ones or sometimes it's hard to find what I'm looking for, especially when it auto-collapses between DM and channels”
JC

Jen C.

Chief of Staff

“Teams crashed, wouldn't open properly and had to manually boot up the "old" version for it to work, it would randomly close in the middle of the work day or fail to show a notification so messages were missed.”
