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

"I believe there has been a return on investment because Teams has seamlessly allowed us to continue to do our work over the lockdown period."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities in one application, whereas in the past we had to use multiple applications, and that, I would say, would be the biggest benefit that we've experienced, in that we have only one application that we can use to collaborate and speak with each other."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"The initial setup was okay."
"When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform."
"Communication is really easy to handle."
"SharePoint is the most important thing of the solution where you can share your data. I am also impressed with the real-time transcript feature."
"One big advantage of this solution over competitors is it is bundled with Office 365, which makes it more convenient and allows it to integrate well with Outlook and other applications such as your calendar."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues."
"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"For improvements to Microsoft Teams, I would say sometimes the tool gets stuck."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"As an instant messenger, Teams is not as good as Lync."
"Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
