Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is the chat-based workspace in Office 365 that integrates all the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. Supports video meetings with up to 1,000 participants.

In the bewildering and somewhat existential landscape of modern workplace tools, two titans emerge: BeyondTrust Remote Support (formerly known as Bomgar, for those of you keeping score) and Microsoft Teams. They are like two particularly fussy dolphins—each with a very specific job, neither terribly interested in the other’s realm, but both critical for the great cosmic ballet of office life. BeyondTrust concerns itself with matters of utmost seriousness: remote support, privileged access management and the sort of security features that make IT departments breathe slightly less into paper bags. It’s all about secure tunnels, audit trails and making sure Gary from Accounting can’t accidentally take down the whole server by clicking the wrong thing.

Microsoft Teams, by contrast, is the glittery multitool in the Swiss Army knife of the Microsoft 365 universe. It thrives on a diet of incessant chat notifications, video calls that could have been emails and file-sharing options that seem designed to multiply exponentially with each passing moment. Teams invites you to seamlessly collaborate in real time, all while asking deep philosophical questions like, "Why is Karen’s microphone always muted when she speaks?"

Choosing between them is like deciding whether you need a meticulously encrypted fortress (BeyondTrust) or a collaborative disco ball of productivity (Teams). It all depends on whether your day involves preventing a catastrophic system failure or merely surviving yet another all-hands meeting with your sanity intact.
