Many Microsoft 365 users only scratch the surface of its capabilities and end up investing in other technologies to bridge perceived gaps they don’t actually have, because Microsoft 365 already includes the functionality. An example of this is Microsoft 365’s Teams, which provides a more powerful and secure collaboration platform than competing products like Slack or Zoom.
