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.

Offers good integration features but needs to offer more flexibility in the language option offered
There are a couple of things that can be improved in the tool. When we are talking about communications, the tool has interoperable cataloging. The only thing that needs a certain level of improvement within Meta is the vernacular, which can be dependent, as we cannot choose the process of communication that is happening in it. After I launch a bot, if I move from one country to another, and if the entire communication is happening in German, while I have just moved from France, and I need to buy a particular choice of vehicle, then I would want the entire communication to happen in my language. What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation. If I want to have a conversation in French, there is a very limited selection. Until and unless a conversation is triggered from a particular language, we do not have the option to choose another language. The tool gives you flexibility in the language, but that is on the business and not on the customer, which sometimes limits the approachability aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to physically go to the meetings; I can do it virtually."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool."
"Microsoft Teams has positively impacted my organization by helping collaboration become easier and smooth, in the sense that you can put everyone in a Microsoft Teams group and share information instead of sharing it with individual users."
"This has improved productivity and communication significantly."
"You can scale the solution if you need to, as it does quite well in that regard and covers our needs very well, and a company that needs to expand it out can do so quite easily."
"The most valuable features are that it is an all-in-one platform, making it very easy for collaboration with your core employees."
"Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality."
"The tool is scalable, flexible, and good in all aspects. I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat."
"The product was easy to use."
"The biggest lesson we have learned from working with Workplace is that we should have made the change a lot earlier."
"The tool's integration feature benefited the workflow...it helped centralize communication."
"A full-featured collaboration tool that is as easy to use as Facebook."

"Storage is the best thing about the solution."
 

Cons

"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."

"Microsoft Teams could work faster if set up on other devices like cell phones."
"It is challenging to navigate the setting for the screen-sharing feature."
"Web conferencing needs improvements."
"We have experienced response delays with the product. It can be hard to understand where to click in the solution. Also, the solution should incorporate videos like 'How to use Teams' that can be popularized among customers."
"Sometimes it is quite complicated to install Microsoft Teams if we want to integrate it with SharePoint or anything else."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"The conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation."
"The implementation could be made easier."
"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
