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 solution has calendars that help us to manage work."
"Microsoft Teams is a very stable app."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the ease of use, and it is very good for a small virtual office for meetings and calendars which sync well together."
"What I like most about Microsoft Teams, is that we can pin applications on the top of the group."
"This is a reliable and stable solution."
"SharePoint is the most important thing of the solution where you can share your data. I am also impressed with the real-time transcript feature."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"Valuable screen sharing feature."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"It would be better if Microsoft Teams can link us to the internet on the screen sharing mode during the meeting."
"Allowing you to participate in the conference to which you have been invited regardless of the platform on which it is hosted would be beneficial."
"The call quality could be better sometimes."
"The solution's security feature needs enhancement for external collaborations with business partners and vendors."
"The biggest issue with Microsoft Teams is switching identities, especially when communicating with external organizations."
"The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standalone license is not cheap."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"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."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."

Today, we do not integrate any third-party apps into Microsoft Teams, but we may use project management tools such as Jira in the future. We used to integrate something, but now we do not need it. ...
