Senior Analyst at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
Real-time collaboration has transformed daily team communication and shared document workflows
I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds. It's time-consuming. I would prefer if any documents or files we share with Google Chat Workspace could be smoother, similar to Zoom. That is my preference for improvement.
Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I am working with multiple users in the same sheet at the same time, which is really amazing for all of us because we are working from different places but in the same sheet at the same time."
"Arranging online meetings is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams for us is the ability to share files from OneDrive seamlessly."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Microsoft has delivered integrated tools and collaborative capabilities that continue to strengthen and bring great value to Teams."
 

Cons

"I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds."
"There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."
"I have had concerns with login and resource consumption using Microsoft Teams, I would consider Zoom or Cisco WebEx as better solutions."
"The desktop and mobile apps are quite different."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"The solution should standardize the options across platforms. What I mean by that is, sometimes, on the mobile, there are not the same options and setup features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app."
"I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done."
"We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."
