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

"The video calling is as interesting as Skype, but with a lot more functions with better and easier communication."
"The solution provides very clear conferencing, even on mobile devices."
"The instant messaging and video meeting features in Microsoft Teams improve my productivity the most. Instant messaging allows for faster responses compared to email. With many colleagues working remotely, video meetings are often the only way to connect. I could even participate in my last meeting while driving to another city. Having meetings, with some people in a meeting room and others joining remotely, is also very useful."
"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 think it is stable when I use it for meetings with my customers...The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy."
"The transcription feature is great."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"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

"The tool needs to improve its stability. There are issues when too many people use it at the same time."
"Inability to see large numbers of participants."
"It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development."
"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier."
"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."
"Web conferencing needs improvements."
"User interface could be improved"
"I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
