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 most valuable feature is the ability to have remote meetings with customers and colleagues."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is connecting calls to concerned people anytime. It works much faster."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling."
"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."
"Microsoft has delivered integrated tools and collaborative capabilities that continue to strengthen and bring great value to Teams."
"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 tool's user interface is very good."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Everything is running smoothly, and I’m still exploring more features. As for improvements, I think it could be more user-friendly and integrate better with third-party software, like Zoom and other video conferencing tools."
"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."
"Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."
"To Do tasks’ ease of use should be improved."
"The product needs to improve its security."
"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."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"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."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
