One challenge of communicating with people online is the ability — or lack thereof — to centralize messages. That’s why businesses are as interested in online team communication software as kids are to sugary treats. Such software keeps communication in one place so that employees can log in with their account, find the information they need, and stay connected with others. Managers can track their employees’ work and progress more easily. And many apps have live audio and video meetings integrated into them.

You may have heard about some of these apps: Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Basecamp have all been in the media. You may also know names like Telegram, Trello, and ClickUp. Many of them have mobile apps, too, so people can stay connected wherever they go.

If you’re in the market for team communication software for your business, where do you start? We suggest the Capterra website (www.capterra.com/team-communication-software) which you can use to search for team communication software.

You may get googly-eyed when you see that the number of apps in the list as of this writing is 297, but that’s why we recommend Capterra as a good place to start. The idea is not to panic. You can click on the View the Capterra Shortlist option in each product entry in the list to view a grid with the top 25 products to see how they compare.
