MS Teams is primarily designed for communication. It requires additional tools from the Microsoft suite for task and project planning, which work separately from each other. All relevant project management tools are already integrated in Stackfield. Communication and project management are developed in harmony with all other features, which significantly enhances user-friendliness.
Both tools offer the usual communication channels, including team chats and video conferences. However, Teams separates communication from other tools, which means that information is fragmented. Stackfield combines all functions for project teams. The team chat shows all news, messages and comments on other elements, e. g. tasks. This keeps the subject matter clear and concise.
Additional tools are required for the entire collaboration in MS Teams. This creates a challenge for new users, who need to familiarize themselves with several interfaces. Although Stackfield offers many functions, it still feels simple and easy to use. Teams can put together the toolset individually and only need to familiarize themselves with one platform.
