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.

Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."
"Setting up Teams was not difficult."
"The instant messaging and video meeting features in Microsoft Teams improve my productivity the most. Instant messaging allows for faster responses compared to email. With many colleagues working remotely, video meetings are often the only way to connect. I could even participate in my last meeting while driving to another city. Having meetings, with some people in a meeting room and others joining remotely, is also very useful."
"Microsoft support is excellent, offering instantaneous assistance through either robo support or live personnel."
"The initial setup was okay."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling."
"Microsoft Teams is a communication platform that enables one-on-one communication as well as group communication, and it is convenient with recordings and AI tools such as automatic transcripts."
"The features that I find most useful in Microsoft Teams are that it is easy to manage, easy to use, and easy to program meetings."
"In general, the solution provides a good experience, the user interface is friendly and from the user perspective, navigation was simple."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
 

Cons

"However, I think there is some UI/UX pointer that could be improved."
"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 call quality could be better sometimes."
"We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good."
"The product should improve its security aspect, scalability, stability, and screen recording. It would be nice if Teams could come up with a feature where I can write chats and send them as mail. It would be also good if Teams could be connected to our application software so that for any doubts that can occur during the training, the operator can resolve them through chats. Hence, they can easily guide and close the issue."
"Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones."
"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
"The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"I use Teams' free version."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"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."
"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
