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

"The features of Microsoft Teams I find most useful for team productivity are mainly the screen sharing feature, along with recordings and automatically generated transcripts when we do recording."
"The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students."
"The tool makes it easy for us to book meetings. It seamlessly integrates with the Office application which we are using for the last four years."
"The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities in one application, whereas in the past we had to use multiple applications, and that, I would say, would be the biggest benefit that we've experienced, in that we have only one application that we can use to collaborate and speak with each other."
"The integration of online jobs and documents is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The ability to integrate tasks and to assign tasks to certain people is great."
"Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is a very good solution and works well."
"This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Teams is quite demanding on bandwidth, which has been a problem during the COVID situation because we don't get enterprise-class bandwidth at home."
"The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products."
"The biggest issue is web content."
"The solution's stability can be better."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Its screen-sharing feature could be better compared to a few competitors."
"Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"We have a license for the solution."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
