Used by our agile teams instead of email to track impediments.
Stream activity could be better organized. Activities or content you are following will either be emailed to you or you follow in a stream. This is the largest issue to overcome for new people using the solution. When using email they receive way too many and it becomes noise. If they use streams, it's yet another thing to check along with email, IM, etc.

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

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people."
"In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."
"The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."
"The tool is scalable, flexible, and good in all aspects. I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat."
"This is a reliable and stable solution."
"The product has improved communication in our organization."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"I have faced issues with connection. Maybe, it's an issue from my side. The company accounts in Teams has some issues as well. I could not establish calls with certain domains, and then the product asked me to buy a professional account. The problem with Teams is that they are split between professional or company accounts and personal accounts. It's not very clear how you can go from one to another. That's the main issue with teams."
"The solution's security feature needs enhancement for external collaborations with business partners and vendors."
"Allowing you to participate in the conference to which you have been invited regardless of the platform on which it is hosted would be beneficial."
"The product is not fully integrated in Brazil."
"The solution should improve its user interface and recording features."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."
"I don't know how to upgrade some features for integration. It is difficult when it comes to integration with other platforms in some organizations."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
