Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams. There are also plugins available from the Microsoft store that can be integrated with the solution. You can edit documents in the tool itself."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the calendar integration and the integration of chat and chat history into events."
"Setting up Teams was not difficult."
"We use Microsoft Teams for group communications."
"Integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing."
"It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home)."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Screen sharing sometimes causes the solution to crash."
"There are a lot of frequent updates, which is a shortcoming of the tool."
"I don't know how to upgrade some features for integration. It is difficult when it comes to integration with other platforms in some organizations."
"The solution needs to integrate ChatGPT so that the solution can summarize the meetings. The solution needs integration with AI. Copilot is already in the pipeline."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is high."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"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 solution's pricing is average."
