Microsoft Teams Reviews

We use Microsoft Teams in venture employment and internally we use it on a daily basis to communicate with offices, departments, and anything related to keeping the communication within the organization.

It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand.

There are a couple of faulty areas that need improvement. The interface could be a little bit more user-friendly. 

When you click on files, pictures, or PDFs when someone sends them to you on Teams, they don't always appear on the system; you have to go back and click again. To be able to see pictures and documents for the first time is something that needs to be improved.

One thing I would like to be able to do is ping more conversations than I currently can. We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good.

I have been working with Microsoft Teams for a couple of years.

I believe that we are working with the latest version.

It is deployed within the organization.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

This solution is used by almost everyone in our organization. I would say there are more than 2,500 users.

I once contacted technical support because I needed to change something I didn't have permission to change. That was the only reason I needed to contact them; otherwise, there is no reason.

Out of five, I would rate them a five.

Positive

The initial setup is easy.

My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be.

I would rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten because it is software that many people are familiar with. For example, if you have someone who needs to communicate with Teams, they will have the necessary software. There is a limited amount of information on both sides. It's not a lot of information to confuse you; it's straight to the point. It's also very good and easy to use.

Microsoft Teams provides everything that users need, including the cameras and attachments. With the help of Teams, you can manage your data transfer into the environment.

Almost 70% of the world currently uses Microsoft Teams because it is easy to use.

I would like to get less frequent updates from the solution.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for many years.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

Around 3,50,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Microsoft Teams is a better video conferencing tool than Skype.

Microsoft Teams has good features that users require. We can connect with Microsoft Teams from anywhere in the world. Even if you don't have a phone, you can connect with Microsoft Teams. You only require an internet connection.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

In the organization where I work, Microsoft Teams is used as a collaboration tool, and it's our company-wide policy to use Microsoft Teams as the integrated tool for all communications and collaborating documents.

I like that Microsoft Teams has all the team management features in one place. You can use Microsoft Teams to chat with people, share your documents, manage your calendar, manage your project, and assign tasks. The solution also has multiple small tools available. All in all, it's one place where you can have everything in a single window.

There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for almost three years.

I’ve never faced any issues with the solution’s stability.

Microsoft Teams is a scalable solution. Our company is big, and I've never felt any glitches or hanging issues with the solution. Around 2,00,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I've previously used Atlassian Jira. If you are looking for a hard-core project wherein you can get a complete timesheet and better project manageability, Jira is a better tool. However, Microsoft Teams is the better option if you are looking for chatting, collaborating, and sharing features. Jira does not have chatting capability in it.

The solution's initial setup wasn't much complex, but it was pretty straightforward.

Generally, it is the backend team that does the deployment. As end users, we are there to create our folders and channels. We can manage our individual projects by ourselves. However, from the server level, a dedicated company team works on the solution's deployment.

Microsoft Teams is a very popular platform by Microsoft that is very commonly used in all organizations.

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

The primary use case of Microsoft Teams is for internal and external communication. We also use it for chatting, team calls, screen sharing and remote control.

Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing.

The remote control needs some improvement. I feel Zoom is much better than Teams, especially in remote controlling.

I have been using Mircosoft Teams for more than five years as an end user.

As for the stability, I never faced an issue with Microsoft Teams. I might have faced an issue with Teams just once in my career, but I haven't seen any issues apart from that, I never saw any issue.

I have never had issues with Mircosoft Teams. However, the IT guys handle the scalability. A lot of users in our organization use Microsoft Teams. More than 6,000 users use the solution in our organization.

The solution is deployed on-premises for larger enterprises, but I think it is on the cloud as well.

It is a bit more than moderately expensive. That's why the low-scale enterprises, not the mid-range, choose Slack and all these open-source tools.

I am happy using Microsoft Teams and I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings and other operations, such as raising hands, sharing screens, and sending chat messages.

Ms Teams has improved our efficiency. Travelling to and from physical meetings takes time due to traffic situations. Besides it improves physical safety because we spend less time on the road.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and will creates the meeting placeholder. I'm then able to share it with other people by entering their email addresses in the provisioned location. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need.

If the Ms Teams process is closed, the next time a user attempts to open Teams, it takes a while to load. I'm not 100% certain whether system resources have anything to do with this, but in my experience, when the Ms Teams process is already running, Ms Teams loads quicker. On the other hand, Zoom (and even Google Meet) tend to have a faster loading time.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for approximately three years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

I have found Microsoft Teams to be scalable for what I have used it for. I have not tested the solution for more than 10 users at one time.

We have approximately four people using this solution in my organization. We use the solutions approximately every two weeks.

I have never needed to contact the Microsoft Teams Technical Support channel. I have not had any problems with the application.

Positive

I have previously used other solutions, such as Zoom. 

Zoom is a more lightweight solution and is easier to use than Microsoft Teams.

The setup of Microsoft Teams is easy for a technical person like me. But a regular user may have a slight challenge with the process of activating an account on Ms Teams.

The multifactor authentication of Ms Teams can prove to be a challenge for a non-technical person.

I rate the setup of Microsoft Teams a three out of five.

We install Teams in-house.

We are using the free version of the solutions. Zoom gives a time-limit of 40 minutes for more than two attendees and automatically ends the meeting. You'd need to connect back to be able to resume/continue the meeting. The free version of Ms Teams does not seem to have a time limit. At the time I was doing this review, I was on a Teams meeting that had gone beyond 3 hrs 30 mins and it was still going on.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for daily communication because our team comprises developers in different places, such as the US and Vietnam. We need to communicate daily.

I think communication is the best feature overall. We use Microsoft Teams for chat, video, and audio communications, so communication is the most valuable feature. Video communication has improved our productivity. We often need to review the code of some developers, which means we need to see their shared screen. So, I think the screen-sharing feature is the best one for us.

The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

The solution is stable. Sometimes, the internet connection, like the undersea cable from Vietnam, has issues, but I don't see much impact on the quality. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Microsoft Teams is scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten. 

We support ourselves. 

The solution's deployment is easy. 

The tool has helped to save our time and effort in communication. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

I primarily use Microsoft Teams as a communication tool for online meetings. Over the past year and a half, I’ve started using it more extensively to access other parts of my information system, such as OneDrive and Calendar. I also use it to invite people to meetings and manage various functions from the menu.

For me, Microsoft Teams' most valuable features are online meetings, calls, and chat. While I also use it to access OneDrive and my calendar, the core functions I rely on are meetings and calls.

One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment. 

I’d recommend adding shortcuts for frequently used activities to improve it. For example, having quick access to OneDrive or creating fast calls to contacts could save time.

I have been using the product for four to five years. 

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. It is possible to add different teams. 

I contact my internal support and have no experience with the solution's direct support.

I’ve used Zoom regularly, primarily for online meetings and direct calls. I find Zoom to be more intuitive and user-friendly than Microsoft Teams. 

If you’re considering using Microsoft Teams, my advice would be this: If you only need basic functions for online meetings and nothing more for personal use, I would recommend sticking with Zoom’s free version. However, for corporate use or if you already use Microsoft 365 or other Microsoft tools, Microsoft Teams is a better choice due to its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. Other options like Google Meet or Zoom might be more suitable for those not connected to Microsoft tools.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. 

We use the solution for online meetings.

The solution is already integrated with Office 365. We do not have to buy a different license or new version for it. We get version updates automatically. 

The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Office 365. It has the best features for automation, Excel, and PowerPoint.

In the case of integrating the solution with other applications, we need technical support for configuration. To make the process easier, they should add an integration API. It will help us save additional costs.

We have been using the solution as a customer since 2020.

I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten.

The solution is highly scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten. We have 1000 users in our organization, and we use it to its maximum potential.

The solution's technical support is great. Their team is helpful.

Positive

The solution's initial setup is easy. I rate its process a nine out of ten. It requires two technical support executives for maintenance.

The solution helps us save a lot of time. Although, it requires high investment in terms of money.

The solution's cost is high. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten. It requires a fixed price to be paid annually or monthly.

The solution is easier to find anywhere compared to open-source platforms. I rate it a nine out of ten.
