Microsoft Teams vs. Nuclino

Positive: The virtual workspace created for a work team within the same company, for the resemblance of information and communications in one place.Negative: The access for members of a non-profit organization who have external emails from the host but need the same access as an internal person since their volunteer work is part of the very core of the federation.

Nuclino is great for internal documentation, project documentation and to maintain "living" documents due to the speed, intuitive UI and ease of editing. I have personally found it great for meeting notes. Nuclino is less appropriate for scenarios that require external collaboration. We have found it lacking in functionality for sharing content securely outside the organization, and we use other software for that. Nuclino is best used as an internal knowledge hub where everyone is encouraged to contribute to building on the documentation.

Incentivized

• Virtual meetings - ease of set up and execution
• File sharing! We build channels for projects, and being able to invite only project members is huge!
• Peer-to-peer communications - being able to "ping" one of my colleagues, either text, video or call-only, on-demand, is what runs our business.

Incentivized

• Nuclino is very easy to write and edit on - the text editor functions are simple yet effective
• Nuclino is very simple to understand - there aren't pages and pages of menus and endless functions. It cuts down a knowledge base to what is required
• Nuclino is reasonably priced
• The graph view is a great piece of design

Incentivized

• The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
• It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
• It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.

Incentivized

• switching overe workspaces is bit tedious at the moment
• more granular control over what users can edit inside workspace -> specific items or any item under a specific collection
• currently its not clear who edited an item last -> footer that updates each time item has been edited and by whom
• support for smartsheets. only because we use them ;)
• on prem version? (easier to sell this to my boss)

Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product

User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful. MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organizational communications. Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.

Sometimes about once a week I get a message that says "Sorry, there seems to be something wrong". But it goes away in a few minutes.

Using Microsoft Teams has resulted in much faster business communications with both co-workers and consultants. There has been little need for support with this software as the interface is very intuitive and the product is overall very well designed. We did encounter an issue with the built-in phone service, however, this was quickly resolved by the support team.

My team has an individual dedicated to content management and Nuclino is one of her job descriptions. It's nice knowing she is able to handle any issues that arise before we even realize they exist. We haven't had any technical issues since implementation so that's been a very pleasant experience.

I find everything I need for my day-to-day work.

Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during meetings.

Nuclino is the clear winner when it comes to ease of use for both the administrator and user. Less setup time and less "training" time. The streamlined interface is quick and intuitive to learn and is not cluttered as compared to Confluence. Every tool you need to use to create a page or administer the workspace is available immediately on screen or by right-clicking. In contrast, Confluence buries many tools in administrative interfaces and only allows use of some features once you make several clicks to include a "macro" or "plug-in". We use both tools and I get complaints constantly from my team about how complicated Confluence can get just to author a quick page.

Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.

It does not appear to have a limit to how many teams and employees we can have using it

I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.

• I'm not sure I can point to a specific ROI, but it has improved our ability to communicate and work more effectively together.
• It's also nice to have records of every interaction, photo, and document that has been shared. Less chance of something completely disappearing.

Incentivized

• We're able to more quickly develop processes and try things out
• Our internal how-to guides are a real time saver, especially when paired with AI search
• It's easier to collaborate on lightweight documents
• Software architectures are easier to find and document
