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.

"The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."

Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"The product should improve its security."

"We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good."

"There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."

"One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization."

"The product's support can be better."

"The solution should offer a way for people to virtually raise their hands in a meeting so that everyone can speak. There's a user voice for this already, but it would help if there was some sort of visual cue as well."

"There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams."

More Microsoft Teams cons
