Good video conferencing but it needs to support third-party hardware

Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity

There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable feature is video conferencing."

"The feature I like most in Microsoft Teams is the ability to work on the same file with other people, for example, on Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel, without needing to share the file via email."

"I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful."

"It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home)."

"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."

"I am part of the pre-sales team. The solution helps me to pass collected information to customers through meetings."

Cons

"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."

"What I'd like to improve in Microsoft Teams are the calendar management and task management tools, because they're not easy to use. They're not user-friendly."

"It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped."

"The biggest issue is web content."

"If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool."

"I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams."

"It consumes a high amount of system memory."

"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."

"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."

"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."

"It is expensive."

"The solution is priced high."

"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."

"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."

"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
