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 easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere."
"I like the tool's screen share feature."
"You can add Teams to a conversation; you can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions, and it has improved communication between teams and within each team."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"I think the solution would be improved by giving people the ability to call into meetings."
"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"They should include AI features in the solution."
"The mobile application needs improvement. There are a lot of features on the web and desktop versions that aren't implemented yet on mobile."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done. I was surprised, for example, yesterday, when my daughter was able to use my Microsoft Teams interface for her schoolwork. I was surprised that they could do that, because I believe it was only for my own personal use."
"The application crashing in Microsoft Teams affected productivity. If we could minimize that, productivity would increase."
"There's a feature that can send a notification to the Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It is expensive."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"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."
"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."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
