Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."
"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository."
"You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily."
"The solution's most valuable feature is connecting calls to concerned people anytime. It works much faster."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"I look forward to AI-based features in future releases."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"Microsoft Teams could log in faster."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."
"We cannot change the mic automatically in Microsoft Teams. We have to do it manually."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"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 is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
