Comment on Slack vs. Microsoft Teams vs. Google Hangoutsparent

Comments

Feels old, clunky, and not fun to use compared to Slack. The hosted solution has also had major reliability problems over the past 6-12 months (may not apply if you use the on-prem offering). The mobile apps are very outdated and tend to botch notifications and message delivery/syncing.

On the bright side, the desktop client uses very little RAM compared to Slack.

i don't understand how slack is as heavy as it is.

It's an Electron app, so it's basically running an entire second copy of Chrom{e|ium}.

UPDATE: Err, or first copy, if you don't use Chrome as your primary browser.
