A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
"Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
"It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations."
"SharePoint is the most important thing of the solution where you can share your data. I am also impressed with the real-time transcript feature."
"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."
"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"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."
 

Cons

"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."
"Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings."
"The solution needs to improve the APIs."
"There can be more customization and also the task management tools needs better tools for integration."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"We had some upstream outages which impacted collaboration."
"Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
