Good video conferencing but it needs to support third-party hardware

CEO at Planfirma Technologies Private Limited

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.

Cons

"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."

"Microsoft Teams should include better integration of the multi-viewer webinar-type system."

"Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that."

"In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure."

"It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."

"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."

"The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The solution's pricing is average."

"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."

"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."

"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."

"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."

"The solution is affordable."

"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."

"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
