When to Choose Microsoft Teams
Microsoft 365 organizations that want deeply integrated collaboration with enterprise-grade security and AI
Microsoft Teams is the obvious choice for M365 organizations. The collaboration depth is unmatched — chat, files, meetings, and apps all live in one place. Copilot AI is powerful but expensive as an add-on. For non-Microsoft shops, the value proposition weakens significantly.
Strengths
- Deepest Microsoft 365 integration — seamless with Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Office apps
- Copilot AI provides meeting recaps, action items, and intelligent search across all Teams content
- Exceptional enterprise security with HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and data residency controls
- Free tier includes 100 participants and 60-minute group meetings
Limitations
- Copilot requires separate $30/user/mo add-on — not included in base plans
- Interface can feel complex and overwhelming for non-Microsoft shops
- Performance can be resource-heavy on older hardware
When to Choose Dialpad Meetings
AI-first teams that want the most advanced real-time transcription and conversation intelligence built into every meeting
Dialpad Meetings punches above its weight with AI features. The transcription accuracy (trained on 3B+ minutes) is genuinely best-in-class, and AI Recap on all plans is generous. Collaboration tools need work to compete with Zoom or Teams, but for AI-powered meeting intelligence, Dialpad is a standout.
Strengths
- Best-in-class AI transcription trained on 3B+ minutes — custom vocabulary support for industry jargon
- AI Recap with action items included on all plans, not just premium tiers
- Live AI Coach Cards surface real-time conversation tips during calls
- Moment detection and CSAT scoring for customer-facing teams
Limitations
- Collaboration tools (whiteboard, breakout rooms) lag behind Zoom and Teams
- Free tier limited to 10 participants
- Smaller integration marketplace than the Big 3 (Zoom, Teams, Meet)
