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

"I don't have to physically go to the meetings; I can do it virtually."
"It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"The solution helps with collaborative communication. You can use it to chat and book calls. You can even set the status as away. It also has a transcript feature integrated."
"I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."
"Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved."
"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."
"Whenever we have particular people whose pronunciations are not perfect, we have to jot down and note whatever they are saying, rather than relying on technology or Copilot to transcribe it."
"However, I think there is some UI/UX pointer that could be improved."
"In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure."
"It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development."
"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."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"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."
"We have a license for the solution."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
