I think Cisco spark is a niche product that is going to be important to big enterprise, but solely as a communication tool, specifically to facilitate meetings and calls. Just my opinion, but I don't think it has much of a future has a 'hub' of all activity for a company.
Re:Slack vs. Microsoft Teams vs. Google Hangouts on Thursday March 09, 2017 @02:50PM (#13832741)
I think mattermost is an appealing alternative, but don't think it has the potential to dominate the enterprise market, but more develop as a successful niche player for the most security conscious companies. It's also something I imagine the other players will address at some point for some kind of a premium enterprise offering.
