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

"Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
"The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"The solution is stable."
"Through Copilot searches, we get to see versions or details around those topics, making it really easy to interact with other fellow colleagues from the same company and get in touch with them to find out more details."
"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"This is a reliable and stable solution."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"The mobile application needs improvement. There are a lot of features on the web and desktop versions that aren't implemented yet on mobile."
"The whiteboarding area in the tool has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"They should add an integration API for the solution."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped."
"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."
"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
