At my last job they were originally using ZOOM - which also allows video conferencing. Then, they moved to a new office w/new phones & then started using Cisco Jabber - which was tied to the phone system. I kinda liked Zoom better!

[image: MailTag] Slack - they have both free and paid versions. The real limit that we have seen is that the free version doesn't keep as much history but for most, it works just fine. You can setup multiple accounts and manage the communications from within a single client.
