Unfortunately, my company uses Outlook and Teams. Both are the worst piece of software I've ever used. They're just trash.

The UX is so bad. Things don't work as expected. Even basic things like composing an email, copy and pasting, formatting text are always a chore.

Try setting up a Teams integration vs a Slack integration. Gmail is absolutely light years ahead in UX. I really miss working at a company that uses Slack + Google Suites.

I'm not a huge fan of Team, but I do have to give them credit for making the experience better over the years- a few years ago, search didn't even work!

- Terrible experience setting up bots/integrations with Teams

- Super poor formatting when trying to do more complex posts such as headings and bullet points in replies

- Copy and pasting images often don't work

- When you upload a video, sometimes the last 1-2 seconds get cut for no reason at all

- Keyboard shortcuts are suboptimal. For example, cmd+ shift + v which should clear formatting does simply does not work on Teams/Outlook.

- Grouping chats is far less intuitive than Teams channels
