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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload."

"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."

"Teams' most valuable feature is the ability to choose from multiple numbers to show when calling."

"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."

"The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives."

"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."

"I find using Jira to create and share files within the channels very convenient. We can add simple things like spreadsheets or whiteboards to a channel, and all the sharing is done automatically. For example, when working on a project, I start a new channel, and everyone knows to go there to find all our documentation."

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"I look forward to AI-based features in future releases."

"We have experienced response delays with the product. It can be hard to understand where to click in the solution. Also, the solution should incorporate videos like 'How to use Teams' that can be popularized among customers."

"The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory."

"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."

"We face issues related to screen-sharing and stability. It is very difficult to get Microsoft's support to troubleshoot the issues. The product also needs to update its recording features."

"The tool needs to improve its stability. There are issues when too many people use it at the same time."

More Microsoft Teams cons

"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product's pro accounts are cheap."

"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."

"We have a license for the solution."

"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."

"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."

"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."

"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."

More Microsoft Teams pricing and cost advice

"It is a cost-efficient solution."
