Featured Reviews

Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.
Aryan Singh1 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"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."
"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams for us is the ability to share files from OneDrive seamlessly."
"I use the solution for messaging and chatting."
"The conversation capabilities and document management are the solution's most valuable features."
"A full-featured collaboration tool that is as easy to use as Facebook."
"The tool's integration feature benefited the workflow...it helped centralize communication."
"The product was easy to use."
"Storage is the best thing about the solution."
"The solution is used as a knowledge platform for sharing knowledge and information that everybody can easily access."
 

Cons

"Allowing you to participate in the conference to which you have been invited regardless of the platform on which it is hosted would be beneficial."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"The solution's stability can be better."
"The solution's login process could be more straightforward."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"The desktop and mobile apps are quite different."
"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"The conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
"The implementation could be made easier."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"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 expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"The solution seemed expensive to me."
"The cost has become one-tenth of the cost in comparison to the old techniques. As we were able to qualify and nurture these leads, the overall cost of the entire sales process was reduced."
"The regular package costs us $4 per user per month."
