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 ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

More Microsoft Teams pros
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"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."
"Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings."
"For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams to make a lighter application and drop some features."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"Microsoft Teams could log in faster."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Whiteboard should be standard rather than an app."
"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."
More Microsoft Teams cons
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
