    There really are few viable alternatives to Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Organizations can either use Google, Microsoft 365, or an amalgamation of Slack, Zoom, and Google/\Microsoft. For organizations that already use Microsoft, it's convenient to upgrade rather than …

    The wider adoption of Slack by users is hard to compete with. Slack is integrated into far more services and apps than Teams and that makes it a better service. Teams would be a better product if its API was used by more third-party services and Microsoft did not force users …

    Chose Microsoft 365 Business Premium
    Against the most common competitor/peer of the Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote suite, Microsoft 365 absolutely demolishes. It's hardly a fair fight considering the ease of use Microsoft products enjoy on Apple hardware despite the companies being direct competitors. Apple knows …

    Microsoft BI is another great tool but has a more specific purpose it serves. They can't really be compared against one another, but they do compliment each other as they both offer different things and different tools. Microsoft BI is used a bit, but probably not to its full …

    It was not my decision to move to Office 365 for Business. We have used Google for Business in the past, as well. Both are good and it's mainly more of user-preference that sets them apart.

    I actually use both Google Drive's Tools and Microsoft 365 Business. Both have their strengthens and weaknesses. I choose Microsoft 365 Business because I already have a long time history with the products provided by Microsoft and I use Excel every day. I use Google Drive for …

    The integration tools within Slack are easy to use and can quickly be added. I find that sharing documents, videos, and other resources is really easy. I don't have to do any special customization in order to use all the features in Slack, it just lets me add apps, or join …

    You can have multiple teams for a single user account. Most of times will use only one team, though, with multiple channels within it for further discussion levels. Slack permits a lot of third-party service integration.
