Collaboration has transformed daily work and supports seamless global voice communication
Microsoft Teams could be improved, especially regarding contact center solutions which have a growing need for omnichannel capabilities, integrating with external platforms such as social media and email for a unified experience. Minor improvements might include reintroducing features such as GPU options available in classic Microsoft Teams to address issues in modern Microsoft Teams related to video meetings and content sharing. Furthermore, essential information such as who started or ended recordings should be more accessible in the Microsoft Teams admin center. I rate it a nine because Microsoft Teams occasionally experiences glitches in the client, leading to missing chat history or other transient issues. The performance issues with the desktop client and the support service complexities contribute to my rating being less than perfect. I have not identified any other improvements needed for Microsoft Teams.

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."
"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."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"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."
"Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good."
"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
"Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution."
"The integration, ability to share documents is very good."
"Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing."
"It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations."
"For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes."
 

Cons

"Stream activity could be better organized."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The mobile app could be better."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings."
"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"Microsoft Teams could be improved through more synchronization with other platforms like Calendly and Gmail, as we also use these platforms."
"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"I think stability definitely needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams to be more convenient for users."
"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."
"It consumes a high amount of system memory."
"The solution's stability can be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"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."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
