Collaboration has transformed daily work and supports seamless global voice communication
Microsoft Teams could be improved, especially regarding contact center solutions which have a growing need for omnichannel capabilities, integrating with external platforms such as social media and email for a unified experience. Minor improvements might include reintroducing features such as GPU options available in classic Microsoft Teams to address issues in modern Microsoft Teams related to video meetings and content sharing. Furthermore, essential information such as who started or ended recordings should be more accessible in the Microsoft Teams admin center. I rate it a nine because Microsoft Teams occasionally experiences glitches in the client, leading to missing chat history or other transient issues. The performance issues with the desktop client and the support service complexities contribute to my rating being less than perfect. I have not identified any other improvements needed for Microsoft Teams.

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 a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."
"Microsoft has delivered integrated tools and collaborative capabilities that continue to strengthen and bring great value to Teams."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are scheduling a meeting and integration with other Microsoft services like SharePoint and OneDrive."
"We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"The biggest benefit from Microsoft Teams is its simplicity to use the tools and the facility to search on the conversation or on the transcript solution."
"The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform."
"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

"Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature."
"They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"In addition the video conferencing is not as good as Zoom, which is a more powerful solution."
"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."
"The only thing that can be improved is that when you are talking one on one, there is no recording facility."
"Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution."
"Microsoft Teams can be improved firstly because it does not have the option to directly attach attachments."
"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."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"It is expensive."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"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."
