"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It's really easy to use the solution."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."
"The solution was stable."
"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."
"It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense."
"The way we test the audio devices must be improved."

"Microsoft Teams should include better integration of the multi-viewer webinar-type system."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication."
"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."

"Yammer's UX and UI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required"
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
