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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams. There are also plugins available from the Microsoft store that can be integrated with the solution. You can edit documents in the tool itself."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team."
"The solution is simple and present in many devices at one time."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"Customer Service is the best."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"They have a great deployment team."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
 

Cons

"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"Even though there are some issues with speed and the solution is expensive, I would still give it maximum, 10 points."
"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"The biggest issue is web content."
"Microsoft Teams should include better integration of the multi-viewer webinar-type system."
"The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"You have to schedule operator-assisted audio events 24 hours in advance, if the turn around time could be quicker - it would help with last minute events."
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
