Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is the chat-based workspace in Office 365 that integrates all the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. Supports video meetings with up to 1,000 participants.

Both Conceptboard and Microsoft Teams, in their own peculiar ways, are designed to let people communicate and collaborate in real-time, even when they’re separated by vast distances—or, in some cases, the entire galaxy. They both offer the timeless joys of file sharing, virtual whiteboards and the sort of instant messaging that’s far more satisfying than a 10-minute phone call. And if you’ve ever wished you could brainstorm without worrying about geography, these tools are happy to oblige.

But then, Conceptboard, with all the grace of an artist and a little bit of a flair for the dramatic, focuses on the visual aspects of collaboration. Born in Germany back in 2012, it’s a tool for people who find joy in the delicate art of putting sticky notes on virtual walls and it allows for exporting said walls as images or PDFs—because who doesn’t want a nice PDF of their brainstorming session? It’s perfect for design-minded teams who want their creative processes to be as visually engaging as possible.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Teams, emerging from the deep and mysterious reaches of the United States in 2017, has a slightly different vibe. It's a Swiss Army knife for team collaboration: integrating with Office 365, enabling video calls and offering messaging and file sharing with a slight air of "I've got everything you need right here." It might not let you doodle on a virtual whiteboard in the same way, but it can plug in with third-party apps and make it all feel like one big happy ecosystem. It’s the tool for those who prefer efficiency and universal communication, without the need for any unnecessary frills.
