Zoom

85/100

Zoom dominates for hybrid and remote organizations prioritizing frictionless video quality and broad device compatibility. Sales and customer success teams benefit from its stability and easy external guest access. However, engineering teams deeply embedded in Microsoft 365 or Slack-native workflows may find its persistent chat and document collaboration features less central than competitors.

Microsoft...

78/100

Microsoft Teams dominates in corporate environments already using Office 365 due to native integration with Outlook and SharePoint. IT and operations teams appreciate the centralized security and compliance controls. However, agencies and startups that collaborate frequently with external contractors often find the guest access experience cumbersome compared to Slack.
