Similar teams meeting management software with totally different functionality. It was used briefly in a one-off trial but was never implemented due to the dominance of Teams and Zoom. It's essential to use software that most people can access, or at least quickly obtain, for …
Chose Teams Manager
As skype for business was getting outdated so we prefer Microsoft Teams over Skype.
Chose Teams Manager
Our general contractor for the build-out selected MT over Zoom. It was not our choice. Zoom has a bit more movement with background screen images and vid quality but it's all fairly close.
Chose Teams Manager
We still use it for our one-off situations, but mostly stick to Teams as it is much more user-friendly and allows better sharing capabilities through virtual meetings. Skype is not as easily customized, so it's a no-brainer to use Microsoft Teams and Team Manager for all of our …
Chose Teams Manager
As I mentioned before, we switched to Teams from Skype because it was more reliable. We did not experience interruptions in service especially for those departments working remote.

The final contenders were CA and Oracle - Oracle was tedious to implement and maintain while on the other hand CA was easy to implement and maintain and came at a much lower price.

For different projects in a big organization different teams can be formed and thus their internal tasks assignments can be done there. It is easy to manage, assign tasks to people in a particular project. People or team leads in multiple projects can share different channels thus maintaining different projects. Users should be refrained of creating new teams just for fun purpose etc. to avoid to much chaos.

Usability
It is a well-designed and polished application on Teams. Most of its issues stem from Teams UI and UX, which could be improved further. However, if you can fit the team manager to your needs, it can become a very powerful tool to manage data flow.
