João Almeida PhD Student in Engineering at University of Aveiro (Telecommunications, 501-1000 employees) Chose SharePoint There are other tools out there that do a small portion of what SharePoint does, and in some cases, it still makes sense to use some of those, if the requirements are there.

Christopher Sawyer Web Developer in Information Technology at TCDRS (Investment Management, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint Atlassian Confluence isn't as robust with document storage but it does provide a good way to share detailed information in article or Wiki format.

Chris Carpenter Staff Project Manager, Awesomizer, Fixer, Maker, Collaboration Enabler in Research & Development at Beckman Coulter, Inc (Biotechnology, 10,001+ employees) Chose Microsoft Teams Microsoft Teams is a clear winner for robustness and for integration.

Brandon Macapelit, CISA IT Auditor in Corporate at Unilab, Inc. (Pharmaceuticals, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Teams The greatest strength MS Teams has against others is that it greatly complements other Microsoft online services.
