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

"Through Copilot searches, we get to see versions or details around those topics, making it really easy to interact with other fellow colleagues from the same company and get in touch with them to find out more details."
"When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"The communication part has been excellent so far."
"You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good application; the UI, the color, everything is very attractive, so I would recommend it to others."
"Communication is really easy to handle."
"Sharing documents in real-time has been incredibly helpful."
"Customer Service is the best."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Using ReadyTalk has strengthened our webinar program at AMA."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
 

Cons

"They could enhance the product's stability and integration features."
"The biggest issue with Microsoft Teams is switching identities, especially when communicating with external organizations."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
"The solution should improve internal and external data expansion. I am not able to send records to an external member who has been added to the call. I am only able to send the file to the internal member. These features should be enabled in that Teams so that during the call, we can share the document file and discuss at the same time."
"Whenever we have particular people whose pronunciations are not perfect, we have to jot down and note whatever they are saying, rather than relying on technology or Copilot to transcribe it."
"The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Microsoft Teams could be improved through more synchronization with other platforms like Calendly and Gmail, as we also use these platforms."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it initially looked complex."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"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."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"The solution is priced high."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"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."
