Question 1

How do I migrate from Slack to Microsoft Teams?

Accepted Answer

To migrate from Slack to Microsoft Teams, you need to connect both your Slack workspace and your Microsoft 365 tenant to a migration tool, map users, select the channels and direct messages to migrate, and run the migration.

Question 2

Can Microsoft’s free Slack migration tool migrate direct messages?

Accepted Answer

No. Microsoft’s native Slack to Teams migration tool only migrates channel content, including public and private channels, channel messages, and channel files. To migrate Slack direct messages, group direct messages, and rich metadata and context, organizations need to use the third-party migration tool like CloudFuze that has API-level access to direct messages and the ability to map them to Teams personal chats.

Question 3

How Much Does It Cost to Migrate from Slack to Teams?

Accepted Answer

The cost to manage Slack to Teams depends on the number of users, the volume of data (messages and files), the level of metadata preservation required, and whether you want to use Microsoft’s free native tool or a third-party platform. Microsoft’s admin center tool is free but limited to channels. CloudFuze pricing is scoped based on user count and data volume.

Question 4

How long does a Slack to Teams migration take?

Accepted Answer

Migration time depends on data volume, the number of users, and the number of messages and files. Small migrations (under 500 users with monitored data) typically complete within a week. Large enterprise migrations can take several weeks and months, particularly when data migration and validation phases are included.

Does CloudFuze migrate direct messages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudFuze migrates Slack direct messages to Microsoft Teams along with message history, timestamps, attachments, replies, reactions, user mentions, pinned messages, and more.

Question 6

Does CloudFuze migrate timestamps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CloudFuze migrates timestamps of public/private channels and direct messages between users. Timestamps for groups can also be migrated.

Question 7

Does CloudFuze migrate Slack files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudFuze migrates all files from Slack channels and direct messages to Microsoft Teams. Channel files land in the associated SharePoint library. Files with names containing special characters that are unsupported by Microsoft 365 are automatically renamed using an underscore or hyphen to ensure a clean transfer.
