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

"Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing."
"The tool is available on cell phones. It can be used in calls and meetings."
"You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"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."
"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."
"I think communication is the best feature overall. We use Microsoft Teams for chat, video, and audio communications, so communication is the most valuable feature. Video communication has improved our productivity. We often need to review the code of some developers, which means we need to see their shared screen. So, I think the screen-sharing feature is the best one for us."
"Valuable screen sharing feature."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"The solution needs to improve the APIs."
"They could enhance the product's stability and integration features."
"In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
"Its stability could be better."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is affordable."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
