Frequently asked questions

Which collaboration tool is best for a remote company with 50 employees?

Microsoft Teams or Slack both scale well to 50 employees. Teams excels if your company uses Office 365; Slack offers broader integrations. Combine either with Asana or Monday.com for project management, and Zoom for video conferencing not included in Teams.

What is the typical total cost to implement a full collaboration stack for a team of 20?

A basic stack (Slack at £8/user + Zoom Pro at £15.99 + Asana Premium at £10.99/user) costs roughly £480/month. Teams users deploying Microsoft 365 pay around £330/month for comparable functionality, whilst Notion-based stacks start at £160/month.

Can I replace all these tools with a single platform?

Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace combine messaging, video, and document collaboration in one platform. However, specialised tools like Asana and Jira offer superior project management. Most teams use 2-3 integrated platforms rather than one, balancing simplicity against capability needs.
