Offers good background effects for video, and very light, smooth, and reliable
Compared to Zoom, which also requires a subscription-like Teams, Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings. Ssometimes, there's lagging. Sometimes, there are call log issues. I think maybe the call log shows "bad network connection" even when the network is fine. Sometimes, if you have bad network connectivity, it shows automatically, and the call goes on hold. But when you're continuously in a meeting for one or two hours, screen sharing, or providing remote troubleshooting, sometimes the Teams call goes on hold. That might be something that needs improvement. So the lagging can be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature I like most in Microsoft Teams is the ability to work on the same file with other people, for example, on Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel, without needing to share the file via email."
"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."
"I think it is stable when I use it for meetings with my customers...The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy."
"The most valuable features are that it is an all-in-one platform, making it very easy for collaboration with your core employees."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository."
"The most valuable features are the messaging and the video calling, especially where you can add a background."
"The tool makes it easy for us to book meetings. It seamlessly integrates with the Office application which we are using for the last four years."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."
"One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization."
"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"There are some issues with stability."
"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."
"We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"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 solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
