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.

Task assignments have become more efficient with custom workflows and automated actions
A downside to Zoho Connect is the lack of direct functionality to delete a task after a specific period. We have to implement multiple automations through both CRM and Zoho Connect to delete a task. While there is an option to archive a task, a direct option to delete a task after a period would be beneficial. Another issue is that when changing the stage of a task, we have to refresh the page to see if the stage has changed. It would be helpful if there was a real-time update feature in the user interface to show task stage changes without requiring manual refresh.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaborating feature."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
"Microsoft Teams gave our small group the ability to chat via instant messenger."
"I think it is stable when I use it for meetings with my customers...The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy."
"The transcription feature is great."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"There are many features of Zoho Connect that I find most valuable; we can design our own tasks, decide if we cancel or deliver a task, determine after how many days the task will be deleted automatically, assign different tasks to different members, and move them using Deluge automation."
 

Cons

"Whiteboard should be standard rather than an app."
"The solution should standardize the options across platforms. What I mean by that is, sometimes, on the mobile, there are not the same options and set up features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app. Everything should have the exact same functionality, otherwise, it's difficult if some people are on mobile and others are on desktop."
"The product needs to improve its stability."
"It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development."
"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."
"I think stability definitely needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams to be more convenient for users."
"Currently, the product limitations are keeping us from migrating to expanding its use."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done."
"A downside to Zoho Connect is the lack of direct functionality to delete a task after a specific period."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use Teams' free version."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
