|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Windows client installation flow with one-click installation, custom installation, and sign-in access to the workspace after setup. | Teams offers a desktop app for frequent users and highlights more settings, offline access, and a more responsive desktop experience than the browser version. | Google Chat can be installed as a standalone app in Chrome and works as a Progressive Web App that opens from the desktop or Start menu. | Notion provides a Windows desktop app download, desktop sign-in flow, and automatic updates. | Acrobat provides a desktop download entry and installation flow for local PDF work on Windows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both one-click and custom installation paths in the same setup flow. Distinct: You can set the install path, launch at startup, and desktop shortcut options during installation. | Compared with WPS: the page emphasizes desktop-versus-web benefits, but it does not present the same installer-stage customization options on that page. | Compared with WPS: installation depends on Chrome and uses a PWA-style app model rather than a dedicated installer flow. | Compared with WPS: the page focuses on desktop download, updates, and desktop experience, while WPS highlights installer-stage setup choices. | Compared with WPS: the page focuses on downloading Acrobat, while WPS highlights install path and startup-related options during setup. |
