I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.

The installation is very, very easy. You can go to Google, search for Microsoft Teams, and easily install the desktop version. It's the easiest process, not complex at all. It's a smooth application. It will take around a few seconds, but it depends on your hardware capability and your devices.

Technical Project Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

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.

Valuable Features

"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"The installation is very, very easy."
"I find the chat and messaging system in Microsoft Teams the most valuable for productivity. We replaced Zoom and other video conferencing tools with Teams for internal and external video calls. Teams is now our standard tool for communication, handling both audio and video conference calls."

Room for Improvement

"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings."
"Everything is running smoothly, and I’m still exploring more features. As for improvements, I think it could be more user-friendly and integrate better with third-party software, like Zoom and other video conferencing tools."

ROI

Pricing

"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"The solution's pricing is average."
