AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.

  • Reviewers mention that the search functionality in Twist is particularly strong, achieving a rating of 9.7, which allows users to quickly find past messages and files. Microsoft Teams, with a rating of 8.3, falls short in this area, making it less efficient for users who rely heavily on retrieving historical data.
  • G2 users highlight that Microsoft Teams provides robust audio and video conferencing features, with ratings of 9.0 and 8.9 respectively, which are essential for remote meetings.

  • Reviewers mention that Microsoft Teams shines in meeting coordination features, particularly with its scheduling and one-click join options, both rated at 9.0.

However, Microsoft Teams offers a more comprehensive set of features on mobile, which may enhance usability for users on the go.
