However, there are suggestions for improving notifications, scalability, and integration with other tools. The pricing is generally seen as expensive, but the customer service and support are rated positively.
In conclusion, Microsoft Teams is favored for its user-friendliness and integration capabilities, especially being part of Microsoft 365, while Slack is valued for its communication features.

"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"Slack provides very fast communication."
"I think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple."
"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"If you talk about the tool's disadvantages, it consists of losing connection. It's also a problem that it only stores information for up to 40 days. The aforementioned areas can be considered for improvement."
"Whiteboard should be standard rather than an app."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time."
"The solution's security features could be improved."
"I think they can improve the all those segments for channel bulking. Also, some functionalities which migrated from Skype for Business to Teams, is not supported by Teams. We had used them in Skype for Business."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
"Slack feels clustered and hence it should improve its design and UI."
"I would like the in-meeting content sharing facility to be improved."
"Slack should add a feature to schedule meetings."
"For me, the only thing I can say is that every time somebody sent me an attachment, the attachment was listed somewhere, and then I had to open the conversation and go to the individual to open it. So there is no handy repository or an easy way to quickly look at attachments. For me, that was a bit difficult."
"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
"It would be better if Slack had a 'select all' option to delete all the files."
