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 group chat is very good."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"We can share all files on Microsoft Teams directly. It is integrated with Outlook."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things."
"We primarily use the solution for communication within our function teams, and we use it for project organization."
"Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing."
"The solution's most valuable features are robust security and communication within teams or channels."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario."
"There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"It is expensive."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
