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 tool's integration capabilities are seamless."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home)."
"The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students."
"Microsoft Teams gave our small group the ability to chat via instant messenger."
"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"There needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"We face issues related to screen-sharing and stability. It is very difficult to get Microsoft's support to troubleshoot the issues. The product also needs to update its recording features."
"We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good."
"The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web."
"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."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done. I was surprised, for example, yesterday, when my daughter was able to use my Microsoft Teams interface for her schoolwork. I was surprised that they could do that, because I believe it was only for my own personal use."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"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."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
