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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"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."
"The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity."
"The feature I find to be the most valuable is the integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing, screen sharing, etc."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"We use Microsoft Teams for group communications."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home)."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
 

Cons

"Stream activity could be better organized."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"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 search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development."
"Lacking in more complex hierarchies for files and teams."
"I think they can improve the all those segments for channel bulking. Also, some functionalities which migrated from Skype for Business to Teams, is not supported by Teams. We had used them in Skype for Business."
"They should include AI features in the solution."
"It consumes a high amount of system memory."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"When it comes to downloading several documents or sharing documents that are above 450 KB, it takes time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
