The Ultimate List of Virtual Team Technology Tools [2024 Update]

(List updated: Feb 2024)  The following is a list of around 60+  technology tools that you can use to manage your virtual team.

To keep things simple, I’ve categorized the tools into 10 different functional categories.

However, keep in mind that those categories are loosely defined, and one tool can technically belong to more than one category (because of overlapping features and frequent tool updates).
