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."
"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."
"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."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"In terms of administrating through Office 365, I like the administration panel, the configuration is easy and powerful, and its integration within Microsoft is very good."
"The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform."
"This is a reliable and stable solution."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities in one application, whereas in the past we had to use multiple applications, and that, I would say, would be the biggest benefit that we've experienced, in that we have only one application that we can use to collaborate and speak with each other."
"It helps our organization with faster communication."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The call quality could be better sometimes."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
"The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"Microsoft Teams could improve because it is heavy on bandwidth. We have some access points and when we have 30 or 40 users on it with Microsoft Teams calls can drop. WebEx does not use as much bandwidth."
"Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that."
"I don't like it very much, but I have to use it because it's the standard in the organization for communication."

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams for us is the ability to share files from OneDrive seamlessly.
