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

"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 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."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"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 platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"The instant messaging and video meeting features in Microsoft Teams improve my productivity the most. Instant messaging allows for faster responses compared to email. With many colleagues working remotely, video meetings are often the only way to connect. I could even participate in my last meeting while driving to another city. Having meetings, with some people in a meeting room and others joining remotely, is also very useful."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat."
"Microsoft Teams is user-friendly and flexible. I like its SharePoint feature also."
"The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."
"It’s very easy to set up. It doesn't take that long."
"The solution has calendars that help us to manage work."
"You can add Teams to a conversation; you can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions, and it has improved communication between teams and within each team."
"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository."
 

Cons

"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."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear."
"We had some upstream outages which impacted collaboration."
"I have faced issues with connection. Maybe, it's an issue from my side. The company accounts in Teams has some issues as well. I could not establish calls with certain domains, and then the product asked me to buy a professional account. The problem with Teams is that they are split between professional or company accounts and personal accounts. It's not very clear how you can go from one to another. That's the main issue with teams."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"To Do tasks’ ease of use should be improved."
"Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout."
"Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
