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.

An Easy to use tool for brainstorming and planning, compatible with Microsoft Project
This solution works well enough. One can always dream up certain things that may or may not be worth implementing in a piece of software because some other people might have some other better priorities that make more sense. But I would say for what I need it to do, I'm okay. My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful. I am pretty sure that the functionality it has today has more modern methodologies than what I use, but for me, it has been very useful and I have kept using it all of this time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's great for meeting conferences."
"We are using Teams to call people to set meetings, record meetings, share documents — all communication now goes through Teams."
"The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."
"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 solution's scalability works well."
"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication."
"The solution needs to integrate ChatGPT so that the solution can summarize the meetings. The solution needs integration with AI. Copilot is already in the pipeline."
"The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365."
"They should include AI features in the solution."
"I think they can improve all those segments for channel bulking."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."
"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's cost is high."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
