Teams exist because corporations are too cheap to purchase Zoom licenses.

Oh please…All Collaboration tools have the same number of issues, just different ones.

Have you actually tried Teams? It stands above all the rest for number of issues
IWW4@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
Yes…
I have used it daily for at least six years.
Overlayed on that is I have used WebEx for about 15 years, hell maybe 20 years.
I agree that it has UI has issues, so does Webex, so does Zoom… hell Skype had its issues as well.
There is a lot about teams I don’t like, but that is every collaboration tool I have ever used.
Truth be had the only collaboration tool I have ever been satiated with is the tool my university used back in 2000, but that probably had more to do with not having to drive to class.

Maybe the real issue is the idea of a “collaboration tool”. You could argue the only such ambitious tools I’ve tried are lotus notes and Microsoft Teams, and both were horrible: lots of services but in an ugly ui with poor usability. Teams and unreliable phone and notes didn’t have it at all.
It’s much better dealing with a set of tools containing better implementations of the feature you want. Maybe it’s just not useful trying to cram that much functionality into one tool.
And yes I’ll name names, I currently get much better results from

Have you ever used Zoom and then be forced to switch to Teams?
It’s like enjoying a warm baguette and then being forced to give it up and eat stale Sara Lee.

I have been forced to switch to different collaboration tools and platforms a number of times and it always just sucks…
For me that pain began back when I was forced to stop using AIM ( America Online Instant Messenger).

You sound older than me here. I was only using AIM during college in the early 00’s.
