Uptime This Week

Notion delivered perfect availability at 100% uptime, while Teams achieved 99.87% uptime during the monitoring period. The 0.13% difference in Teams reflects minimal real-world impact, equating to less than 2 minutes of potential unavailability over a seven-day window. Both platforms comfortably exceeded typical SLA thresholds for enterprise collaboration tools.

Response Time

Teams responded significantly faster, averaging 207ms compared to Notion's 644ms—a difference of 437ms per request. While both response times fall within acceptable ranges for web-based tools, Teams' lower latency provides a noticeable speed advantage for real-time collaboration features like messaging and document co-editing.

Incidents & Downtime

Neither platform reported incidents during this monitoring window, with both recording zero minutes of unplanned downtime. This absence of disruptions reflects stable infrastructure for both providers during the measured period, though longer monitoring intervals are needed to assess typical incident frequency.

Historical Context

Collaboration tools have increasingly converged around 99.9%+ uptime standards as enterprises demand mission-critical availability. Sustained performance at these levels requires robust redundancy and geographic distribution, which both major platforms have invested in heavily.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose Notion for applications where background latency is acceptable and maximum availability is the priority. Choose Teams for workflows requiring low-latency responsiveness, particularly for synchronous communication and real-time co-authoring. Both are suitable for enterprise deployment based on this week's performance.
