Cons
"It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues.""One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days.""The product lacks customization.""The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit.""Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users.""I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.""The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite.""Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."

"The user interface could be a bit better.""It can have more integrations with other platforms.""The Teams feature doesn't allow for sharing location which Office 365 had.""I don't like the tool's administration which consists of crappy operations.""For the past six months, I have been facing a synchronization issue between the calendar of Microsoft Teams and the calendar of Microsoft Outlook. In Microsoft Teams, I can't see the updated version of some meetings, but Outlook shows the updated version. There is a problem with data synchronization between the calendars of these applications. Both calendars should be synchronized.""It could be flexible in terms of working with other cloud-based solutions.""In a future release, I would like to see what more Microsoft can do in terms of integration with other solutions.""The tool is slow sometimes."
