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

"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
"The collaborating feature."

"The biggest benefit from Microsoft Teams is its simplicity to use the tools and the facility to search on the conversation or on the transcript solution."
"The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"Stream activity could be better organized."

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"The solution's security feature needs enhancement for external collaborations with business partners and vendors."
"One thing that could be improved is the auto-correction feature. When we type, we often send messages with spelling errors. While there is an edit feature to correct these mistakes, I think spelling-checking capabilities could still be improved."
"I would like to be able to see a larger number of participants in the gallery view, that would improve the product."
"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."
"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues."
