Why were these 2 colors chosen when you had access to so many?
Is this a troll chart? Lol

if microsoft sold teams as an individual product, and didn’t package it for free into MS 365, the chart would look very different — distribution is what’s allowing Teams to win on DAUs but MS is likely taking a hit on it
adoption likely large multi-thousand employee enterprises
Am always skeptical of this comparison as doesn't Microsoft count any Office 365 user as a Teams user rather than just use of the Slack like tool.
Except Teams is better than Slack in every single subjective and objective metric, with the one exception of emojis.
Teams included with msft office FOR FREE helped that number. Show me a real chart like Dropbox vs box.
THIS is why live streaming should be part of your Product Marketing strategy.
At Restream.io, adoption of a silently launched feature took off with ONLY a live stream. No emails, or notifications.
The best way to launch is in real-time with your users in chat.
Comparing (bundled products like Teams/Office) to a stand alone product like Slack is exemplified w Shohei Ohtani being picked up by the Dodgers versus playing for the Angels. With the right “Team” you win championships. Stand alone rock star software products rarely can win

everyone can’t have Microsoft distribution and Slack (like many smaller SaaS) don’t always want to conquer the world
Why doesn’t salesforce just give away Slack as a loss leader? No one will buy it, but once they’re hooked into the ecosystem, they’ll never move away from it. It’s a very sticky horizontal integration hook for their main offering.
DAU is a weird metric for this category though.
# of b2b customers would give a more clear picture.
This switch happened because Teams is better…in the context of a bureaucratic institution that legally or reputationally needs confidentiality. Many businesses might like the slack UX, but can’t be sharing all their comms with basically the entire slack team and world. (I

you should use two significantly different colors on the chart instead of purple and kinda purple. maybe people would understand you better!

slack tried to charge like 15-20x what teams charges and you think this is saying something
I saw the slack hype, I tried to figure out why anyone was hyping it... I moved on.
Later, collaborators on a project wanted to use it, I said "sure, maybe I'll figure out the hype by using it, as I couldn't by looking/reading from the outside.."
Then I figured it out!!

Come on, man. Let's be honest. The "better" communication apps have only superficial innovations or features over the rest. In our tech world we've just gotten too used to believing our own PR nonsense. Slack is a mediocre app
This is why I’m worried about perplexity and AI in general.
Good enough + existing reach will kill most product as a feature. (Perplexity is search/research feature, but they all will have that)
AI in general is a horizontal product with wide feature sets.
I imagine search will play out the same way with google continue to dominate companies with better products.
Great example. My employer forced us to switch from Slack to Teams. I hate it, but Microsoft made Teams appealing to leadership.
Would be interesting to see Teams growth overlayed with updated windows that includes teams
Slack oddly becomes essential. Teams is generally useful

If I’m going to staple a chart to my shirt, it’s going to be a chart with 2 distinct different colors. Not light purple and dark purple.
Hmmn. Good chart for DAUs. But DAUs don’t always represent “winning”. There is typically room for more than 1 winner. It’s a rising tides lift all boats concept.
Slack was acquired by Salesforce for ~$27 billion. I’ll take that as a win.
I don't think Microsoft Teams is a bad product, I'm wondering how many people on X actually use it
I know at my work, Teams is the essential communicative channel. Everyone in my department is working remotely. Anecdata, I'll grant you, but it is what it is.

In 2019 had to convince people one by one to use teams in places zoom appears to be better option 
this is like a race to figure out if rolling around in cacti is better than wrestling them
Eek - slack is a disaster for productivity in a large organization.. maybe for teams of 5-25..
100+ it is a major, major net negative
Every company I've worked at in the last 10 years used Slack, all had Teams installed, about half actually actively used Teams but when they did it was always in addition to Slack and always in addition to Zoom or Google Meet or Discord too

Unfortunately this is reality. The best product doesn’t have to win and often doesn’t win.
Except teams is embedded into a deeply entrenched microsoft office suite to which literally every office in the world is already onboarded
Hardly an apples to apples comparison
it’s became a textbook example for the power of distribution and bundling but -- it's not a magic trick that always works. Microsoft itself tried it before and failed with: SharePoint Neesfeed (Twitter clone), Yammer (Facebook clone), Kaizala (WhatsApp clone) just to name a few
Teams is usable but mainly popular because it’s part of office. That’s a huge inside track.

This is true across most industries. The best products rarely win.
Monopoly leveraging (or misusing the power of ) their product bundle … I think this bad practice of companies like MS is bad for innovation. It should not be tolerated.
Where do you get this data? I am also curious about zoom and google meet.
I know teams is alot used in goverment institution and companies, which i was surprised at first to know. And the outlook integration with onedrive makes it ideal.
Slack is used more on the side

This is purely a result of pricing and packaging bundling by Microsoft. They bundle everything and don’t allow pure plays to compete. Whether it is UCC, MDM or Security. Where are the government bodies who are supposed to protect against monopolistic pricing practices? Office

This is due to monopoly market power and entrenched customers. That said slack is gorgeous and easy to use but overpriced and holds your data hostage. We prefer open sourced Raven
Teams improved the last 4 years. Slack didn’t and I love slack. But now teams just better experience. Slack still has the “cool” factor I guess
The problem is slack is only slightly better.
See, product is the most important thing, but if your competition’s product is *almost* as good as yours and their product is pre installed, good luck
Teams being "free" makes a huge difference especially in businesses.
Slack also lost its way after it was bought.

A lot has to do that is just too expensive outside of the US; It’s using US pricing in non US markets. knows how to adjust its pricing
IMO People use Microsoft Teams because they're forced to not because they want to.
