Whiteboard and content sharing features are good

I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are scheduling a meeting and integration with other Microsoft services like SharePoint and OneDrive."

"I don't have to physically go to the meetings; I can do it virtually."

"You can use Microsoft Teams to chat with people, share your documents, manage your calendar, manage your project, and assign tasks."

"I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful."

"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."

"The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that."

"The solution's feature for scheduling meetings could be faster for Android phones. It should work okay like its desktop version."

"The solution's user interface could be improved because it initially looked complex."

"The product's support can be better."

"The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."

"The solution needs to improve the APIs."

"The solution should fix the ease of use directly outside of the office environment. Right now, unless I'm at my office desktop, it's hard to access it."

"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."

More Microsoft Teams cons

"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."

"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."

"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."

"We don't have to pay for the solution."

"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."

"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 solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"It is a cost-efficient solution."
