Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the collaboration message interface, you can click Create Group Chat, search for members, select people from Recent or Contacts, and enter the new chat window after creation.	Teams lets users start and name a group chat, add multiple people, and manage participants later.	Google Chat lets users enter multiple names to create a group direct message and start chatting.	Notion focuses on page comments, @mentions, and asynchronous collaboration notifications instead of a dedicated instant group chat entry.	Acrobat focuses on shared review, comments, and annotation workflows for documents rather than instant group chat.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry point, member selection, and creation confirmation are combined in one panel, which fits quick team communication inside the WPS collaboration message workflow.	Compared with WPS: Teams supports group naming and later participant management, but the workflow is centered on a broader chat workspace.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat supports quick group direct messages, but its official guidance is more general to messaging rather than a focused collaboration panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to asynchronous page discussion, not a dedicated group chat creation flow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to document review collaboration, not real-time message group chat.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to start a multi-person conversation quickly inside WPS collaboration messages, Create Group Chat keeps member selection and chat creation in one flow. Microsoft and Google provide broader chat ecosystems, while Notion and Adobe are more focused on asynchronous collaboration or document review.
