Never used BlueJeans, Webex is ok, Teams is amazing.
Give Teams an honest try:
- works well and you know what you’re doing
- good audio/video quality (nothing like Skype)
- knows your organization so search results are sorted by hierarchy proximity
- unified experience cross-platform
- simple, OneDrive/Dropbox like, document sharing through sharepoint: like a network drive but with document versioning and same time editing through Office365
- many out-of-the box addons like tasks - basically same as Trello, so enough for most of my projects
- lastly, should you have any specific need, you can create custom apps with PowerApps and PowerFlow, directly from a web app and in less than an hour.

Teams is what Sharepoint should have always been and destroys any collaborative solution I have ever seen

Lots of Teams hate in the world, but I'm on board. It's to the point with addons that it can be most of my ecosystem to work in. Collaboration with o365 has improved so much in the last few years (although I never open a document in Teams itself).

For different projects I'm still stuck in Skype (horrible interface that doesnt work much of the time), Zoom (I like, but doesnt have as much prebuilt collaboration tools), and Slack.

Slack looks like a great tool, but I'm an old who havent given over to trying to replace emails with this as they advertise. Don't know if anyone does??. Good interface, but I dont know I give it any more props than Teams.

Teams hands down, first time I used something MS that seemingly works really well. So much better than Skype.

Agree. So frustrating when we have to swop back to Skype for Business when calling some of the offices that haven't switched to Teams yet.

WebEx takes forever to start a meeting for me and it doesn't do half of what Teams can do. Teams could improve some things, but overall it's pretty good.

I bought a ton of Microsoft stock after using teams and I haven't been happier.

I like Teams, it's got a ton of potential. But one of the earlier posts is right on about the interface. It's not terrible, but could be much better.

Honestly shocked at so much positivity about Teams. I was saddled with it for years before joining a company that used slack, and I started loving it within weeks. What makes Teams work for you?

WebEx was great until Teams offered all of the same functionality and more. No point in doing a new implementation of WebEx at the point, but there's not a huge push to get rid of it if your users are already used to it.

Teams is spreading like wildfire, and people will use it, but they might stick with whatever you have in place for a while, so don't force it. Same goes for Power BI and other stuff that might have more history and OC in your org.

Teams is my vote.

So before my current role, I worked internal communications/video conferencing.

My pick would be slack for things like IM and file sharing with Zoom as the VC option.

Yes, Teams combines it all, but not well unless you really have a good group managing it and, especially in Big 4, managing it the way it needs to be is just impossible. You'd have to lock down too much. Cisco WebEx has a lot of limitations. Bluejeans is good, but Zoom beats them hands down for VC quality.

For the best quality, ease of use, and flexibility, I'd go Slack and Zoom every time.

Teams for sure. Integrates easily with accounts. Sound quality is great. Recording works well and lots of good share options.

BlueJeans sounds a lot like farmers only. WebEx stole the teams name, but MS teams is... Skype.. Bad year for marketing.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.
