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.

Salesforce Chatter
With Chatter, it’s easy to work together and know everything that’s happening in your company. Updates on people, groups, documents, and your application data come straight to you in real-time feeds. It's better than alternative solutions for Salesforce users.
Imagine, if you will, two colossal, highly evolved beings in the vast cosmos of corporate communication: one called Microsoft Teams, the other Salesforce Chatter. Teams, in its infinite wisdom, decided that all work-related conversations, from urgent video conferences to sharing the latest “very important” Excel file, must happen under its omnipresent banner. It joyfully cradles Word documents, PowerPoint slides and everything else that the venerable Microsoft Office suite can conjure, like a meticulous librarian insisting on categorizing every whispered conversation in the universe.

Meanwhile, Salesforce Chatter, a rather sociable and somewhat gossipy cousin of Teams, lounges comfortably within the Salesforce CRM, occasionally sipping tea and nudging sales teams to chat about their customers. Its purpose in life? To help people exchange ideas, share files and, most importantly, discuss anything that has to do with customer data. Chatter, ever the diplomat, keeps its focus firmly on customer records, knowing full well that its natural habitat is the bustling, spreadsheet-filled landscape of sales and marketing departments.

In the end, both creatures serve their respective domains, but Teams is the type that insists on knowing everything about everything, while Chatter prefers the more refined practice of sticking to what it knows best—customers, with a side of sales chatter. In short, one brings the coffee to your entire office and the other just to your sales team. Both crucial, depending on how you take your caffeine.
