Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
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 like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people."
"We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is connecting calls to concerned people anytime. It works much faster."
"The tool is simple to use."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"The interface must be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have."
"The solution should improve internal and external data expansion. I am not able to send records to an external member who has been added to the call. I am only able to send the file to the internal member. These features should be enabled in that Teams so that during the call, we can share the document file and discuss at the same time."
"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
