IT Project Manager at UkrSibbank
Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is a stable product."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"The solution can scale well."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"The tool's user interface is very good."
"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."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"File sharing is the most valuable feature."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"The price is a problem."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"I think that both the interface and the layout options, the ability to organize the different components for an online meeting on your screen, could be improved."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"The mobile application needs improvement."
"The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times."
"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."
"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."
"People might think it is too complicated or that it looks too complicated at the beginning."
"I think they can improve all those segments for channel bulking."
"I have not noticed any productivity increase or time-saving with Microsoft Teams, as it functions exactly the same as Webex, just from a different manufacturer."
"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
