School districts will almost certainly hate everything they were forced to start using over the last few months because their entire workflow has changed dramatically. From top to bottom and they’re having to invent new things on the fly. They will almost certainly get stuff wrong.
Normally, such a radical change would have involved months if not years of planning, followed by months of trials, before even being deployed in 1 class for 1 subject.
It's a better app than Google Whatever (Hangouts? Meet? Duo???) and Cisco WebEx, though Zoom is much easier to use for larger meetings.
My org uses Teams and I’m now a member of probably 30 teams with lots of channels each. I ignore them all as there’s too many.
Slack is different because I just join specific communities.
Also text search is bad right now in Teams, but is handy in Slack.
But that does not mean Teams itself is not excellent software. It just means Slack is slightly more excellent.
And once you throw in how rapidly Teams has been improving, I think it’s a matter of months before Teams surpasses slack in almost every way.
We have 2 cloud communication companies with radically different stock results (Slack vs Twilio).
Slack, who has ~50% revenue growth and haven't turned a profit and their stock is ~0% flat YTD [1].
Then you have Twilio, they too are having 50%+ growth and have never turned a profit, yet their stock is up ~130% YTD. [2]
The stock market is a funny beast.
