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."
"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."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Teams' most valuable feature is the ability to choose from multiple numbers to show when calling."
"The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."
"The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."
"For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes."
"They are building out a lot of Office 365 apps and the integration with everything is great."
"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."
"Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality."
"The installation is very, very easy."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"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."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"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."
"I have faced some issues with Microsoft Teams on the Citrix platform where we have issues every day."
"The solution's feature for scheduling meetings could be faster for Android phones. It should work okay like its desktop version."
"The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally."
"It would be better if Microsoft Teams can link us to the internet on the screen sharing mode during the meeting."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"The product's support can be better."
"It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos."
"It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense."
