Microsoft Teams Reviews

Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool. The solution provides instant messenger, collaboration with teams, and you can do calls. You can use Microsoft Teams to share files and store files. You can use the solution to create your own channel from the perspective of topics and share discussions and files.

The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.

I have worked with Microsoft Teams for eight years.

I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for scalability.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

Microsoft Teams gives the best return on investment.

Microsoft Teams is the best collaboration tool in the market today.

On average, five people would be required to deploy and maintain Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is very user-friendly compared to Slack.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for meetings and office communication. Also for creating groups, channels, and virtual environments.

One valuable feature is the ability to edit a message that you've posted so you don't have to repeat yourself. 

Another feature I enjoy is the integration with the task planner in Outlook and Teams, which allows me to manage tasks across platforms.

There are some issues with stability. The stability could be improved. 

Moreover, the pricing could be made more affordable for users with different licenses.

We use the cloud-based version, Office 365.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. Sometimes it doesn't work well.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

Setting up Teams was not difficult.

The standalone license is not cheap. The pricing could be made more affordable for users with different licenses. 

I would recommend giving it a shot. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Teams for everything, it's a corporate solution for online meetings, sharing information, and collaboration.

It has facilitated interaction with our colleagues and with clients. In addition, we can also have better access to information

When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform.

It is easy to use.

Because many companies use a variety of tools, the main feature could be to integrate the ability to participate in any meeting regardless of the platform they are using. For example, if you are invited to a Google Meet session, you should be able to join it without the need of having installed the specific client to attend that meeting.

It would be the best opportunity to create an abstract of which online collaboration tools are being used to avoid installing Zoom, Teams, or WebEx. It's currently the best time to try something new; I know it's technically difficult or perhaps impossible, but that should be a good starting point. Allowing you to participate in the conference to which you have been invited regardless of the platform on which it is hosted would be beneficial.

One of Microsoft Teams' most valuable features is its stability.

In terms of scalability, I don't have that information. We are a company with more than  130,000 employees. Even for large events, Teams  works flawlessly. I don't believe there are any scalability issues.

We have been using allways Microsoft Unified Collaboration solution. 

Pricing is an area where I lack visibility.

This selection is done at company level. I have no influence on the selection.

I strongly recommend Microsoft Teams to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.

Primarily we are using Microsoft Teams to facilitate collaboration during events and meetings. All of our meetings are voice and video. We are also using it for document sharing.

We use a file folder structure for maintaining all of our documents. There are version controls for projects that are completed and help to maintain the documentation.

Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository. At this time, we spend four or five hours a day communicating using Teams.

The main features that we use extensively are voice and video calling. They have improved these features and the improvements are happening continuously. 

The other feature that we like is the repository, which is used for knowledge management. It integrates with SharePoint, where we can store and retrieve documents, maintain version control, and collaborate with each other.

I like these aspects of it, but this is a feature-rich product and I am probably not even aware of all the features that it has.

Microsoft Teams is quite demanding on bandwidth, which has been a problem during the COVID situation because we don't get enterprise-class bandwidth at home. Currently, we use broadband, and even the little variations that happen can throw you out of a meeting. It seems that you get disconnected really fast.

It takes a long time to load, which is something that could be improved.

Having a dial-in feature would be helpful because it would allow more people to be included in meetings.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for almost two years.

This is an extremely stable product and we use it on a daily basis. Since we have been on the cloud, I haven't seen any failures that have been the fault of the service. As long as our internet is up, it is working.

I don't see scalability as an issue. Initially, we had fewer licenses than we do now. As we expanded, we acquired more licenses and added more team members to the platform.

From what I recall, we started with about 500 licenses and we now have closer to 2,000. Two weeks ago, we had about 700 regular users. Adding users was seamless from our perspective, although you have to make sure that your network is configured properly, otherwise, there may be issues with performance.

I do not speak with Microsoft support directly. When I have a problem, I simply call my support staff.

I have used similar solutions and I wouldn't say that Teams has the best in terms of voice and video calling, although I have seen continuous improvement over time and I am happy with that. For example, we used to only see four people on a video call, and it has been increased to nine. These kinds of improvements are good.

On the other hand, when compared to other collaboration software, it is more bandwidth-intensive and takes longer to load. In general, it is heavier.

Prior to using Teams, we had been using Microsoft Exchange 2013. We migrated to Office 365 two years ago, which includes Teams as part of the package. While we were still using Exchange, we ordered Skype. From my perspective, Teams is much more stable than Skype. I found that if we used Skype in a very small network, for example with three routers, then it would work fine. Otherwise, we had issues with quality and stability.

The initial setup is easy, as most products from Microsoft are. It follows the same idea and is not difficult. We have the E3 subscription, so we are always using the latest version.

When we migrated from our Microsoft Exchange platform to Office 365, we had consultants come in to assist us with that. We also had some guidance from Microsoft.

The pricing for Teams is very competitive.

We did look at a couple of other products as well, including Zoom. Because of issues regarding security with Zoom, we only use it very rarely.

Network performance does impact teams, but Microsoft does give recommendations as to how the internet and network should be set up. If you follow these instructions then there will be fewer problems to fix. Essentially, if you are implementing this product then you need to very clearly understand the network requirements. Tweaking things on the network side is very important.

Overall, this is a very good collaboration product and the only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect grade is the heavy bandwidth usage.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams to communicate with colleagues via scheduling meetings and calls.

Microsoft Teams could log in faster.

We have 100 Microsoft Teams users in our organization.

I use Zoom and Google Meet as well.

The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives.

I rate Microsoft Teams a ten out of ten.

Our customers use the solution as a communication tool with functionalities for chatting, scheduling meetings, and integrating with Office 365.

The solution helps us with scheduling meetings. It also allows us to share information using chat in-between. 

The solution provides good flexibility in terms of integration with Calendar and Outlook, and Email.

The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance. At present, it is heavier for the machine.

We have been using the solution for more than ten years. At present, we use the latest version.

The solution is relatively stable. Although, I initially encountered a downtime issue. Also, last week, Microsoft had a huge problem across the world. While I was starting a meeting, all the instances went off. It is a general problem and not specific to the version or application I am using currently.

The solution is highly scalable. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten. It still has a scope for improvement.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. I never had any problem changing the headset and using the new ones to mirror my screen.

The solution generates a good return on investment.

I advise others to have machines with good memory, power capacity, and processor. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for communication and creating teams or groups to share information quickly within the organization.

The solution helps our organization with faster communication.

The solution's most valuable features are meeting, calling, and activity feed.

The solution consumes a high amount of system memory. It could be improved.

We have been using the solution for more than six years.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. We implement it on the cloud infrastructure. 

The solution generates a good return on investment.

The solution's pricing is reasonable.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it a ten out of ten. It is an essential tool for quick communication and sharing files.

We use Teams for meetings because it comes with features for collaboration and document management.

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. 

The solution needs to be more stable. I have found Zoom to be more stable than Teams. 

My company has six users for Teams. 

Microsoft's support is good enough for me. 

Positive

I use Zoom but find it to be less competitive than Teams. Zoom does not offer integration with documents, calendars, etc. 

Teams' setup is easy and takes less than a day to complete. There isn't much configuration involved since everything is on the cloud. The solution's deployment is not a rocket science. 

The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. You will get the full benefits of the solution if you use collaboration and document management.
