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

"It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams. There are also plugins available from the Microsoft store that can be integrated with the solution. You can edit documents in the tool itself."
"The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."
"The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform."
"It’s very easy to set up. It doesn't take that long."
"The video conferencing is good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
"They are building out a lot of Office 365 apps and the integration with everything is great."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow."
"The solution needs to integrate ChatGPT so that the solution can summarize the meetings. The solution needs integration with AI. Copilot is already in the pipeline."
"I didn't know that Teams is part of Office 365, so I think that it should be better advertised with its features and capabilities."
"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."
"There needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"Sometimes it is quite complicated to install Microsoft Teams if we want to integrate it with SharePoint or anything else."
"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"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."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
