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

"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."
"The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
"We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it."
"Microsoft has delivered integrated tools and collaborative capabilities that continue to strengthen and bring great value to Teams."
"The product enables us to create teams for specific projects."
"The solution helps us to accelerate communication. We use Teams to contact colleagues during emergencies instead of regular electronic phones. It helps to keep everything organized and centralized in the same place. The product is also very easy to use. I am also impressed with the solution's possibility of making quick calls and creating groups."
"Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors."
 

Cons

"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"I have had concerns with login and resource consumption using Microsoft Teams, I would consider Zoom or Cisco WebEx as better solutions."
"There needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features."
"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 set up features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app. Everything should have the exact same functionality, otherwise, it's difficult if some people are on mobile and others are on desktop."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature."
"The main issue is that the link goes down when there are internet issues."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout. It is no longer representative of the layout that you actually have in a document. You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look."

At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
