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 am part of the pre-sales team. The solution helps me to pass collected information to customers through meetings."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good application; the UI, the color, everything is very attractive, so I would recommend it to others."
"The tool makes it easy for us to book meetings. It seamlessly integrates with the Office application which we are using for the last four years."
"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."
"We use Microsoft Teams for group communications."
"The solution helps with collaborative communication. You can use it to chat and book calls. You can even set the status as away. It also has a transcript feature integrated."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"I think it is stable when I use it for meetings with my customers...The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy."
"I utilize ReadyTalk to train roughly 300 people monthly, my colleagues use it to host staff meetings, to supplement coursework from our online university, and to deliver organizational content to our constituent base."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"They have a great deployment team."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
 

Cons

"We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout. It is no longer representative of the layout that you actually have in a document. You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look."
"There needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"I think stability definitely needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams to be more convenient for users."
"I have not noticed any productivity increase or time-saving with Microsoft Teams, as it functions exactly the same as Webex, just from a different manufacturer."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"To Do tasks’ ease of use should be improved."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
