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

"Since we started using it, our productivity has increased and we are very coordinated with each team member."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"The platform has facilitated our communication and collaboration, especially in a remote or hybrid work environment."
"The group chat is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool."
"Teams integrates with a lot of our technologies, especially features like the Teams channels."
"The solution provides very clear conferencing, even on mobile devices."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."
"The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products."
"Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased."
"I didn't know that Teams is part of Office 365, so I think that it should be better advertised with its features and capabilities."
"Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow."
"The product should improve its security aspect, scalability, stability, and screen recording. It would be nice if Teams could come up with a feature where I can write chats and send them as mail. It would be also good if Teams could be connected to our application software so that for any doubts that can occur during the training, the operator can resolve them through chats. Hence, they can easily guide and close the issue."
"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"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 tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
