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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has improved communication in our organization."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to have remote meetings with customers and colleagues."

"We use Microsoft Teams for group communications."

"Microsoft Teams adds value for businesses by providing functionality that includes co-authoring on work documents, publishing Power BI sites for reporting and billing, and integrating calendaring."

"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."

"The tool is scalable, flexible, and good in all aspects. I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat."

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams."

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

"Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have."

"There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."

"I would like to get more frequent updates, and the solution’s stability could be improved."

"Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased."

"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."

"It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense."

More Microsoft Teams cons

"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."

"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."

"The solution is affordable."

"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution."

"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."

"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."

"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."

"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
