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 Google Meet
Google Workspace organizations and teams that prioritize simplicity and browser-based meetings
Google Meet delivers the cleanest, most frictionless meeting experience. Gemini AI integration is genuinely useful for note-taking and summaries, and the browser-based approach means zero installation headaches. It lacks some power features, but for Google Workspace users, it's the natural choice.
Strengths
- Gemini AI integration with "Take notes for me" feature and automatic meeting summaries
- Seamless Google Workspace integration — Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Gmail
- No download needed — fully browser-based with excellent mobile apps
- Adaptive audio reduces echo when multiple laptops are in the same room
Limitations
- Fewer advanced features than Zoom or Teams — no built-in whiteboard in meetings
- AI features require Workspace Business Standard or higher plans
- Limited breakout room controls compared to Zoom
