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 very good application; the UI, the color, everything is very attractive, so I would recommend it to others."
"Integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing."
"Microsoft Teams adds value for businesses by providing functionality that includes co-authoring on work documents, publishing Power BI sites for reporting and billing, and integrating calendaring."
"Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."
"I like the solution's chat and meeting feature. We have different teams and the product helps us to communicate fastly. Within five minutes all the teams can be on the same page."
"This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing."
"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."
"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."
"For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams to make a lighter application and drop some features."
"The application's user interface on Google has shortcomings that need to be improved."
"The product is not fully integrated in Brazil."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done. I was surprised, for example, yesterday, when my daughter was able to use my Microsoft Teams interface for her schoolwork. I was surprised that they could do that, because I believe it was only for my own personal use."
"We have experienced response delays with the product. It can be hard to understand where to click in the solution. Also, the solution should incorporate videos like 'How to use Teams' that can be popularized among customers."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"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 would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
