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

"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"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 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."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"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."
"For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes."
"I like the solution's chat and meeting feature. We have different teams and the product helps us to communicate fastly. Within five minutes all the teams can be on the same page."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Overall, this is a very good collaboration product and the only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect grade is the heavy bandwidth usage."
"I am actively using Planner, which is very convenient because I can have all of my tasks from projects, from different boards, from my personal list; I have everything in one list and I can filter and divide and prioritize."
"The integration, being able to create groups to share documents that I think is the best, means I can set up a meeting and associate documents to that meeting and everybody can see it."
 

Cons

"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"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."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The whiteboarding area in the tool has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Its stability could be better."
"The solution's interface probably needs to be a bit different in terms of cloud sharing."
"Microsoft Teams is quite demanding on bandwidth, which has been a problem during the COVID situation because we don't get enterprise-class bandwidth at home."
"The solution needs to integrate ChatGPT so that the solution can summarize the meetings. The solution needs integration with AI. Copilot is already in the pipeline."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"We have experienced response delays with the product. It can be hard to understand where to click in the solution. Also, the solution should incorporate videos like 'How to use Teams' that can be popularized among customers."
"They should include AI features in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"The solution is priced high."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"The solution's cost is high."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
