When initiating a new project or launching a company, do you automatically opt for Slack or Teams?

I go for Slack as it's more intuitive and approachable for startups. Teams seems too enterprisey for me, though that might just be a brand perception of Microsoft!

Slack for a multitude of reasons - Like @supademo_joe said its more intuitive and approachable for startups but it also scales with your business to the point where nearly every Enterprise level org uses it for daily internal comms.

Slack is the answer! P.S - I have also launched my product SayData today. Would appreciate you trying it out (currently #1 for the day) and providing your reviews and support for the product

I use Discord since my collaborators tend to be teens or in their 20s (who tend to use Discord not Slack) ... but if someone told me sign up for AOL Instant Messenger or any other obscure platform, I would oblige because they are contributing to my cause, why shouldn't I accommodate?

Slack for sure, its way more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, most people are already familiar with slack and the learning curve is way less.

I have the impression that most technical teams use Slack, and other teams use Teams. If need to interact with users of product, I choose Discord.

Slack 100%. I've used both at previous jobs and they are just not comparable. Teams made me wanna kill myself every day I had to use it. Nobody deserves to be forced to use that.

Not necessarily. In fact, until there's a need for a better communication platform, we can use free ones that work the best for us.

Opting for Slack is like joining a vibrant digital party! It's sleek, user-friendly, and has a gazillion integrations. Plus, the emojis are like confetti for your conversations! 🥳🥳

Teams isn't convenient if you need to work on several project: you can have only one team space open in the app. Slack allow you to manage several spaces from the same app.

Definitely Slack, out of habit.

I use Slack, out of habit. But I'm considering a slow move toward Discord since the calling features are pretty neat there.

Slack as most people I know are already familiar with it

Actually using Google spaces #notansweringtheq (mainly because it's included in Google Workspace). It's not as good as Slack or Teams tbh but it's nice to have one fewer platform to use!

Slack! Because you can automate so much things on it :)

Slack or Teams? Depends on what you need. Slack's good for quick chats, Teams integrates well with Microsoft stuff.

Neither. We chose Discord. For a company with 120+ employees, the free version is enough for full operation. Discord was like a breath of fresh air after using Slack. Everyone started communicating with everyone

I've never used Teams—hopefully it stays that way lol. Slack is great, and I've heard good things about Discord, too!

slack, usually!
