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…

Whiteboard and content sharing features are good

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.

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."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the calendar integration and the integration of chat and chat history into events."

"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."

"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."

"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."

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

"File sharing is the most valuable 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."

"You can ping, chat, and call someone, and at the same time, on the next tab, you can see all the documents related to what someone is referring to."

Cons

"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."

"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."

"The product should improve its pricing."

"The call quality could be better sometimes. Microsoft could improve the quality of the backgrounds. File sharing could also be smoother. It takes a lot of clicks to download and copy the links. It should be only one click."

"The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally."

"The product needs to improve its security."

"The solution's user interface could be improved because it initially looked complex."

"I didn't know that Teams is part of Office 365, so I think that it should be better advertised with its features and capabilities."

"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."

"The tool needs to improve its stability. There are issues when too many people use it at the same time."
