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

"Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution."
"Almost 70% of the world currently uses Microsoft Teams because it is easy to use."
"I don't have to physically go to the meetings; I can do it virtually."
"Teams' most valuable feature is the ability to choose from multiple numbers to show when calling."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat; it is what I use the most because if I have to reach a team member, given that we are all working remotely, it is the easiest way to do it."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well."
"For me, Microsoft Teams' most valuable features are online meetings, calls, and chat. While I also use it to access OneDrive and my calendar, the core functions I rely on are meetings and calls."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more customization options in the product such as more integration with other tools."
"They should add an integration API for the 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."
"I think stability definitely needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams to be more convenient for users."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
