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 ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ability to scale videos is a valuable feature of the product."

"The group chat is very good."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."

"The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone."

"The tool's user interface is very good."

"You can add teams to a conversation. You can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions. It has improved communication between teams and within each team."

"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."

"It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations."

"The solution is stable."

More Microsoft Teams pros

Cons

"The solution must allow users to record videos for a longer time."

"The product should improve its security."

"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."

"Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow."

"One of my colleagues was trying to use Microsoft Teams on their laptop, and it was slow in terms of booting up when initially starting it. For example, it was not running in the background. In general, it takes some time to load. Zoom tends to have a faster loading time."

"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."

"For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams to make a lighter application and drop some features."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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 pricing for Teams is very competitive."

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

"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."

"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."

"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."

"The solution's cost is 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."
