CEO at Planfirma Technologies Private Limited

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

"I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team."

"I am part of the pre-sales team. The solution helps me to pass collected information to customers through meetings."

"The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."

"The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone."

"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."

"One big advantage of this solution over competitors is it is bundled with Office 365. This makes it more convenient."

"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."

"It is easy to coordinate with the technical support team in case of queries."

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."

"One thing that could be improved is the auto-correction feature. When we type, we often send messages with spelling errors. While there is an edit feature to correct these mistakes, I think spelling-checking capabilities could still be improved."

"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."

"The solution's login process could be more straightforward."

"Microsoft Teams could improve because it is heavy on bandwidth. We have some access points and when we have 30 or 40 users on it with Microsoft Teams calls can drop. WebEx does not use as much bandwidth."

"Microsoft Teams is quite demanding on bandwidth, which has been a problem during the COVID situation because we don't get enterprise-class bandwidth at home."

"We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

More Microsoft Teams cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."

"I use Teams' free version."

"The solution's cost is high."

"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."

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

"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."

"We don't have to pay for the solution."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
