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's mainly the integration of everything document-wise and the consistency that I really liked within Microsoft Teams."
"I like the video call and document-sharing features."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I think it has helped me organize my day-to-day activities; it has also helped me to align with the schedule of my colleagues and other partners because there's a feature where we can see the schedule of other Team members."
"I use the solution to chat with my team."
"Using the solution's screen-sharing feature, we can go through a document together and take control."
"The transcription feature is great."
"It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The mobile application needs improvement."
"The solution should fix the ease of use directly outside of the office environment. Right now, unless I'm at my office desktop, it's hard to access it."
"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."
"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."
"The solution needs to improve the APIs."
"It is challenging to navigate the setting for the screen-sharing feature."
"Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is average."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"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."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
