A group collaboration doesn't merely help your organization become more efficient; it also acts as a virtual extension of your team. And so, you'll want to make sure the tool you select is a good fit for your needs and culture, just as you would want an employee to be.

The differences are more than cosmetic, the infographic explains (although the options for colors and themes do vary between the two solutions).
