We use the solution for internal communication purposes. 

What is most valuable?

Flexible with useful screen sharing and great reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "The transcription feature is great."
  • "I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for recording meetings and preparing education for our YouTube channel.

What is most valuable?

It's a very flexible program.

We can do screen sharing very easily.

It's good for recording sessions. 

Sometimes, I can't see if a person came into the meeting; however, when I go and look at the session at the end, I can see who has come and gone from the meeting.

The transcription feature is great. I can copy it and create a document out of it. 

It's quite stable and issue-free.

The solution can scale. 

What needs improvement?

The room feature could be better. I like the visibility we get when we use Zoom, for example. I'd like the rooms to be set up more like that. I'd like more room management features. 

I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams.

For how long have I used the solution?

I use Teams all of the time for work. I've used it for about two years at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I've never had any issues with stability. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scales well. It's easy to implement new users.

We all use Teams in my company. We have about 80 people using it. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never had any issues with the product. I've never had to reach out to technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Zoom in the past for virtual meetings. I only use it occasionally. I have noted some stability issues with it that I haven't noted in Teams. I don't have a license for Zoom. I haven't seen the backend administration features.

How was the initial setup?

I did not handle the setup process. It was automatically deployed to my laptop. 

We do not have to do any maintenance tasks. However, we do have an administrator. He may have maintenance tasks. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have an Office 365 license which includes Teams in the product. I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm an end-user.

I'm not sure which version we're using. 

We save our meetings in the cloud when we use the solution. 

I would recommend the solution to others. I know that Microsoft has begun to add AI to its products. However, this hasn't happened in Teams just yet. Once they start adding AI, it will become even better - and it's already very good.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Seamless 365 integration with useful chat features and helpful support
Pros and Cons
  • "The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere."
  • "The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365."

What is our primary use case?

The primary aim was to enable remote work, organize meetings and utilize it as an instant messaging tool across the organization. We have around 2000 users on Microsoft Teams

Teams reduced our high traveling costs too as we are conducting training sessions remotely instead of visiting branches. We have a large network of branches across the country and abroad. Teams has strong integration with Office 365 tools which helps with collaborating on documents shared during meetings and conversations with team members in the groups.

How has it helped my organization?

Microsoft Teams reduced the significant cost of traveling. We have a large-scale network of branches in the country and abroad too. It became pretty easy to share documents across different teams, groups, and individually. 

Instant chat made people more engaged and reachable at all times. Instead of sending email to colleagues, we can discuss and share documents immediately. 

The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere. 

We regularly organize seminars for distributors, and this channel helped us organize a large audience online.

What is most valuable?

It offers seamless Microsoft 365 integration. With Teams integration, you can quickly create teams within a group, bring deleted groups back, edit the group email alias, and use sensitivity labels. 

Chat is one of the key features of Microsoft Teams. Whether it’s just with one person or with a group chat allows you to instantly message team members for quick discussions and feedback. 

You’ll have less clutter in your inbox as prompt, quick questions get resolved over Teams chat rather than a potentially long wait for an email reply.

What needs improvement?

The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365. External user visibility must be available in the next releases of Microsoft Teams. 

User activity logs must be available along with more task management capabilities. 

Microsoft Teams is able to translate slides into multiple languages. It also is able to transcribe audio from multiple languages. It would be beneficial if it could also take the transcription in one language and translate it into another. It may not be great since the source is audio. However, it would be helpful in a situation when professional translation services are not available.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for seven years.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is awesome.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is simple and straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The vendor team is extremely professional.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This product is quite economical.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did also evaluate Zoom.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
