Microsoft Teams vs GoBrunch: Which is a better fit?

Rick: My name is Rick. I'm the executive director of Marketing and Technology for Chapel Hill Academy. I give Microsoft Teams a rating of 5 out of 5. Before Microsoft Teams, we didn't really have any sort of management software. We would just do things manually over email using on-device storage and using the phone to call people. We didn't really have an instant chat way to communicate with people instantly, or unified file storage or project management option. We chose Microsoft Teams because of its compatibility with the whole Microsoft ecosystem. We had been using Microsoft tools and apps previously, the Office Suite, OneDrive, or SkyDrive even before that, Outlook, et cetera. So it just seemed nice to have a unified experience and not have too many different systems that ended up being siloed, but something that's a unifying platform. Overall, it was a good experience getting started with Microsoft Teams. I will say as we continue to onboard new staff from time to time, it is a little bit of a learning curve, but Microsoft does provide some phenomenal resources to help get people started through their Microsoft Learn program and also through online videos that guide people to getting familiar with how to use Microsoft Teams. I would recommend for anyone considering Microsoft Teams, first of all, it's great. Definitely do it. But I think the key is just when you get started and onboarding, is to make sure you equip yourself with the proper training and understanding and organization of the platform, and then also carry that on to your team or staff so that everyone has a pleasant experience as they continue to grow and learn how to leverage and maximize teams to be more efficient.

Frank P.: Hey, I'm Frank and I'm a lead pastor and I give GoBrunch a five star review. And for more information on that, just click below. Well, before I started using GoBrunch, I experimented with a number of different softwares. I used the easiest at the time, was Facebook live. We were doing live broadcasting, but I did find that it wasn't really adequate for what I wanted. The first thing that attracted me to GoBrunch were positive reviews, online reviews, and the price, which was free. And the second thing that attracted me to GoBrunch was that I would be able to harvest emails as I set up webinars and people needed to register. This was what was lacking in some of the other programs that I had used. Getting started with GoBrunch was really, really simple. And within a matter of minutes, I had a webinar set up and we went into these webinars immediately. And this was back when the pandemic first hit and we moved all of our activities totally online, so we had no in-person activities. And we did not miss a day, we did not miss a week, we just immediately went online. I would highly recommend that people try the GoBrunch webinar format. One of the main things about it also is that at there's a community. I had no idea about that when I first started with GoBrunch. But there's a worldwide community, there are people that I know in many, many countries because of GoBrunch. And during the pandemic, we were meeting once every two weeks online for live seminars or webinars, trying to help one another to present even better webinars, better formatting. And anytime new features were introduced, they would be introduced in these webinars. And the GoBrunch platform continues to introduce new features. There's some that are just getting ready to come out that I'm really looking forward to having, it's going to really help. I don't see any time in the future that we're not going to be using GoBrunch.
