For Teams Paying $22/User and Still Missing Half the Tools

Microsoft 365 Does Email Great. Everything Else? Not So Much.

You're paying $22/user for M365. Then $16/user for Monday. Then $8/user for Slack. Then wondering why your tools don't talk to each other.

WaymakerOS Commander: $19/user. Email, calendar, video, chat, project management, databases, automations, AI. Everything. One platform.

Straight From M365 Users

The Microsoft 365 Reality

These aren't our words. They're from Microsoft's own community forums, Trustpilot reviews, and enterprise analysts.

"Teams is entirely horrible, cluttered, unintuitive, resource intensive, and incredibly frustrating to use."

— Microsoft Q&A Forums, 2024

"Having used Slack in other company using Teams is like going back to the middle ages with this software. Absolutely unbearable."

— Enterprise user comparison

"When I installed it on my Mac the whole laptop got incredibly slow. Basically whenever I click or move my mouse it takes at least 10-20 seconds to respond."

— Mac user, Microsoft Community

"Teams never seems to fail at failing to provide a consistent, reliable experience. There are two types of Teams calls: those that are glitching and those that are about to glitch."

— Enterprise analyst

10,000+ SKUs

Ecosystem Lock-In
