Works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal.
The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal. It was more fun to create a community in Jive than to use shared spreadsheets in Dropbox or Google docs. Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address.
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The integration of online jobs and documents is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The ability to integrate tasks and to assign tasks to certain people is great."
"Multiple channels and tools for recording."
"The recording function, the transcript function, the chat function, the live caption function, and the setting up of groups to share documents are useful features of Microsoft Teams."
"File sharing is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."
"The solution should improve its user interface and recording features."
"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier."
"We had some upstream outages which impacted collaboration."
"The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats."
"At times, we encounter difficulties with remote access through Teams, which requires improvement."
"There are some issues with stability."
"Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's cost is high."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."

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…
