Microsoft Teams Reviews

We use it for all team meetings or any virtual meetings, 24/7. Teams is our default platform because we use Microsoft 365 products. 

And in most of the organizations I've worked at, Microsoft 365 is the default.

The integration capabilities in Teams work pretty well. Teams integrates with a lot of our technologies, especially features like the Teams channels. The integration works really well.

I find using Jira to create and share files within the channels very convenient. We can add simple things like spreadsheets or whiteboards to a channel, and all the sharing is done automatically. For example, when working on a project, I start a new channel, and everyone knows to go there to find all our documentation.

In a previous company, we set up tenants in every country and replaced expensive telephony solutions with phone numbers directly connected to those tenants, reducing costs.

It has helped me manage tasks in projects. In a channel, when tasks are open in a Jira board, you can assign them there, and they're constantly visible to all the tech people assigned to that project. It's easier for everyone to see where we are and what's outstanding.

Microsoft has recently introduced Copilot in Teams. It's great for transcribing meetings and providing summaries. By the time you finish a meeting, the full summary is complete, which means less note-taking. You can also input multiple documents and get Copilot to summarize them. While it still needs some fine-tuning and sense-checking, it certainly saves time.

When I embed products like Jira into my channel, I must keep re-authenticating, which can be a pain. 

One thing that needs improvement in the solution is licensing tools within the application, preferably on a per-user basis. Also, it would be great if the contacts list could be synced between it and Outlook. If I receive an email in Outlook, I can easily create a meeting with that person's credentials. But I must manually find and enter their email address in Microsoft Teams. It's a small thing, but it can be frustrating.

I use Microsoft Teams for all our internal meetings with colleagues. We also utilize it for customer meetings, sending out invitations for any meetings we arrange. Additionally, we have some groups set up for chatting with customers. For internal communication, we have several team groups separated by department - for example, Sales has its group, and Technical has another. All our internal communication happens through these channels.

The instant messaging and video meeting features in Microsoft Teams improve my productivity the most. Instant messaging allows for faster responses compared to email. With many colleagues working remotely, video meetings are often the only way to connect. I could even participate in my last meeting while driving to another city. Having meetings, with some people in a meeting room and others joining remotely, is also very useful.

The main advantage is that the Microsoft 365 calendars are synchronized, allowing us to use both calendars interchangeably. Additionally, I can create meetings using Microsoft Outlook, which is integrated with all Microsoft products.

From that collaborative view, I'm a big user of Teams, mainly because of business. I use Teams a lot for meetings and collaboration, both internally and externally. I think it works pretty well.

I have integrated it with my Jira infrastructure, so I'm able to make phone calls directly from my Teams application to literally the entire globe.

have a third-party call center vendor that I've already integrated with Teams, so I can switch between different profiles. So at the moment, I'm okay. I haven't run into anything that I would need to change.

We use the solution to share documents, collaborate with team members, internal and external meetings, and Teams groups.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature.

Microsoft Teams has eliminated the need to go to the office for meetings. With the solution, there are no boundaries to having meetings. I can be on the other side of the planet and have a meeting. The solution has enabled me to have meetings wherever possible without restriction and also the ability to share documents instantly.

Our usual use cases for Microsoft Teams primarily involve internal meetings among group members, constituting approximately 95 percent of our use. As a globally dispersed team with members in France, Europe, the US, and Australia, we extensively use Teams for virtual meetings, discussions, and chats.

The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity. 

My company provides Teams for us. We just use it for internal communication.

All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes.
