Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support.

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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it can be included in most systems...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I use the solution for messaging and chatting."
"Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing."
"Message and chat retention is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is easy to use."
"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure."
"The solution's login process could be more straightforward."
"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"The solution should offer a way for people to virtually raise their hands in a meeting so that everyone can speak. There's a user voice for this already, but it would help if there was some sort of visual cue as well."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
