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."
"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is easy to use."
"Communication is really easy to handle."
"The conversation capabilities and document management are the solution's most valuable features."
"Using the solution's screen-sharing feature, we can go through a document together and take control."
"The solution's most valuable features are robust security and communication within teams or channels."
"We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
 

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 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."
"One of my colleagues was trying to use Microsoft Teams on their laptop, and it was slow in terms of booting up when initially starting it. For example, it was not running in the background. In general, it takes some time to load. Zoom tends to have a faster loading time."
"Microsoft Teams could log in faster."
"They should include AI features in the solution."
"It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped."
"The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"It is expensive."
