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 most valuable features are that it is an all-in-one platform, making it very easy for collaboration with your core employees."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"The video calling is as interesting as Skype, but with a lot more functions with better and easier communication."
"Almost 70% of the world currently uses Microsoft Teams because it is easy to use."
"Microsoft Teams is a scalable tool because it integrates with many other tools and different kinds of apps."
"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."
"The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
"The solution should improve internal and external data expansion. I am not able to send records to an external member who has been added to the call. I am only able to send the file to the internal member. These features should be enabled in that Teams so that during the call, we can share the document file and discuss at the same time."
"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier."
"Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done."
"There are a lot of frequent updates, which is a shortcoming of the tool."
"The product is not fully integrated in Brazil."
"Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
"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."
"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
