But I think they had some sort of problems with integration with that product. But, they managed to…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

Pros

"It is a stable product."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"The solution can scale well."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"You can add teams to a conversation. You can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions. It has improved communication between teams and within each team."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."
"Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"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 most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."
"I think it is stable when I use it for meetings with my customers...The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy."
 

Cons

"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"Microsoft Teams could work faster if set up on other devices like cell phones."
"The solution's security features could be improved."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
"I would like to get more frequent updates, and the solution’s stability could be improved."
"We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement."
"Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
