Microsoft Teams

and

Slack

I need help taking a look at this solution for my company, which is looking into consolidating communications into a single platform. We want broad use across other companies and need the solution to have clear video-sharing and whiteboarding capabilities. While I understand that Microsoft Teams is bundled into my Microsoft subscription I have also heard that usability is questionable for agile organizations such as ours.
