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

"Our company is moving from their Skype for Business to Teams. So I've seen it, I've looked at it, I've used it somewhat enjoyed the UI."
"The solution's most valuable features are robust security and communication within teams or channels."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"The feature I like most in Microsoft Teams is the ability to work on the same file with other people, for example, on Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel, without needing to share the file via email."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch."
"Using the solution's screen-sharing feature, we can go through a document together and take control."
"I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team."
"I am part of the pre-sales team. The solution helps me to pass collected information to customers through meetings."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The application crashing in Microsoft Teams affected productivity. If we could minimize that, productivity would increase."
"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session."
"They could enhance the product's stability and integration features."
"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
"To Do tasks’ ease of use should be improved."
"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."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
