Microsoft Teams Reviews

I primarily use live chat. The chat is used mostly to communicate with all departments in my company.

There is a good option for you to make group chats. Communication is really easy to handle. It’s easy to make groups and intimate chats when you need to.

It is a stable product.

The initial setup is easy.

It's a really good application, a good program. However, maybe the whole UI could change a bit in the future. After a while, it gets to be too much of the same in the eye of the customer. Maybe they need a column, or maybe a background, or something like that to mix things up.

They need to improve the scalability of Teams.

I’ve been using the solution for six months.

Stability is not a problem. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable, and the performance is good.

The solution can scale. However, it could be better.

We have about 200 people using the solution right now at our organization.

I’ve never had to reach out to support as I’ve never had any issues. It works well. I can’t say how the technical support is, however.

The initial implementation was actually not made by me. However, I saw the process and it's pretty straightforward. There was nothing that I saw that would lead me to believe it would be complex.

I’m not sure about the pricing. I’m not sure if we have to pay anything.

I am a customer and an end-user.

I’m not sure which version of the solution I’m using right now.

I’d invite potential new users to use it or try it out. You can have access it from any device, and it’s great if you want to access data or information.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It’s great. However, the UI could be better, which is why I didn’t give it perfect marks.

I use Teams for meetings, chats, and outgoing calls.

Teams' most valuable feature is the ability to choose from multiple numbers to show when calling.

Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings. In the next release, it would be useful to see other users' availability.

I've been using Teams for a year and a half.

Teams is stable, though there are very occasional problems with flashing when screen sharing.

We previously used Skype, but Teams is more user-friendly and syncs with Outlook.

The initial setup was challenging because Teams was a new platform for us, but it was that hard, and the training provided helped us understand better. Deployment took three months.

Teams is really user-friendly and not that complex. I would give it a rating of nine out of ten.

We use this solution for video conferencing.

I don't like it very much, but I have to use it because it's the standard in the organization for communication. It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped. 

We have been using this solution for two years. 

This is a reliable and stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. It integrates with a lot of Microsoft software.

The initial setup was complex. I have the impression that Microsoft software is complex to implement because of the many configurations and parameters that they use.

We used an integrator to complete the installation. 

I would say that it's important to train all the people that are going to use it, because it's not very easy to use. 

I would this rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I am a freelancer. The decision on what solution to use is determined by my customers. Some of my customers have over 5,000 employees who are using Teams.

Teams is a virtual meeting solution. We use Teams to work with our clients purely with video conferences.

This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing.

As an app installed, Microsoft Teams is resource-consuming. When using it from their browser-based application, I experienced login problems.

For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams make a lighter application and drop some features.

Microsoft Teams has all the features it needs, however, I noticed on some laptops that the features are not available. For example, if you want to change your virtual background, not all laptops have the hardware configured to link with that feature. The solution should make all features available irrespective of hardware configuration.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for two years.

This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing.

Microsoft is always scalable, it depends on the level of licensing an organization has purchased.

The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is easy. I would rate setup a 5 out of 5 as the solution is straightforward.

I have had concerns with login and resource consumption using Microsoft Teams, I would consider Zoom or Cisco WebEx as better solutions.

Organizations should consider what features they want to utilize. If they want all features to be available, they need to have an enterprise category system. Logging in from a home segment device will not have all features available. 

I would rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings and other operations, such as raising hands, sharing screens, and sending chat messages.

Ms Teams has improved our efficiency. Travelling to and from physical meetings takes time due to traffic situations. Besides it improves physical safety because we spend less time on the road.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and will creates the meeting placeholder. I'm then able to share it with other people by entering their email addresses in the provisioned location. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need.

If the Ms Teams process is closed, the next time a user attempts to open Teams, it takes a while to load. I'm not 100% certain whether system resources have anything to do with this, but in my experience, when the Ms Teams process is already running, Ms Teams loads quicker. On the other hand, Zoom (and even Google Meet) tend to have a faster loading time.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for approximately three years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

I have found Microsoft Teams to be scalable for what I have used it for. I have not tested the solution for more than 10 users at one time.

We have approximately four people using this solution in my organization. We use the solutions approximately every two weeks.

I have never needed to contact the Microsoft Teams Technical Support channel. I have not had any problems with the application.

Positive

I have previously used other solutions, such as Zoom. 

Zoom is a more lightweight solution and is easier to use than Microsoft Teams.

The setup of Microsoft Teams is easy for a technical person like me. But a regular user may have a slight challenge with the process of activating an account on Ms Teams.

The multifactor authentication of Ms Teams can prove to be a challenge for a non-technical person.

I rate the setup of Microsoft Teams a three out of five.

We install Teams in-house.

We are using the free version of the solutions. Zoom gives a time-limit of 40 minutes for more than two attendees and automatically ends the meeting. You'd need to connect back to be able to resume/continue the meeting. The free version of Ms Teams does not seem to have a time limit. At the time I was doing this review, I was on a Teams meeting that had gone beyond 3 hrs 30 mins and it was still going on.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for communication internally and with our outside customers.

It is on cloud, and we are installing the desktop version on our workstations. There are also cases that we are using the cloud, the web edition, because you can login to your account from any workstation.

It is deployed across our whole organization, so we are multinational. Currently, I'm in the Philippines, but we also have our team members in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. Everyone is using Teams, and we're communicating using Teams.

I think it has helped me organize my day-to-day activities. It has also helped me to align with the schedule of my colleagues and other partners because there's a feature where we can see the schedule of other Team members.

It is easy to send some calendar invites to have a research session with our customer.

There's a feature that can send a notification to the Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated.

I have been using this solution since December 2020.

It's stable, but there have been times when I needed to login again, probably because of my internet connection.

It's scalable.

We have also used Viber, but it's not the best communication solution. We have also used ServiceNow for ticketing and Zoom.

Setup was straightforward. You just need to sign in, and you can use it right away. Internally, we advised everyone to install Teams on their workstation after they received their service machines.

Everything took just a couple of minutes. You need to download a couple of megabytes and install it. Everything will be done in less than 30 minutes, including the sign in.

It was done in-house. We did not have an indicated person for that. Everyone knows that they're using Teams and they install it by themselves. Most of the time, there is no help needed to install Teams.

From Teams alone, I think we are looking at it as the complete package, including the subscription of Microsoft Word and SharePoint. So overall, I think it is a good investment.

It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint. The subscription is already covered with the $10 per month subscription.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

The implementation is straightforward. You just need to validate Teams, and the product certificate is good for the company using it versus the other service operating from other providers. The solution is good.

We use Microsoft Teams for everything, it's a corporate solution for online meetings, sharing information, and collaboration.

It has facilitated interaction with our colleagues and with clients. In addition, we can also have better access to information

When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform.

It is easy to use.

Because many companies use a variety of tools, the main feature could be to integrate the ability to participate in any meeting regardless of the platform they are using. For example, if you are invited to a Google Meet session, you should be able to join it without the need of having installed the specific client to attend that meeting.

It would be the best opportunity to create an abstract of which online collaboration tools are being used to avoid installing Zoom, Teams, or WebEx. It's currently the best time to try something new; I know it's technically difficult or perhaps impossible, but that should be a good starting point. Allowing you to participate in the conference to which you have been invited regardless of the platform on which it is hosted would be beneficial.

< 3 years (before we were using Skype for Business)

One of Microsoft Teams' most valuable features is its stability.

In terms of scalability, I don't have that information. We are a company with more than  130,000 employees. Even for large events, Teams  works flawlessly. I don't believe there are any scalability issues.

We have been using allways Microsoft Unified Collaboration solution. 

Pricing is an area where I lack visibility.

This selection is done at company level. I have no influence on the selection.

I strongly recommend Microsoft Teams to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams in venture employment and internally we use it on a daily basis to communicate with offices, departments, and anything related to keeping the communication within the organization.

It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand.

There are a couple of faulty areas that need improvement. The interface could be a little bit more user-friendly. 

When you click on files, pictures, or PDFs when someone sends them to you on Teams, they don't always appear on the system; you have to go back and click again. To be able to see pictures and documents for the first time is something that needs to be improved.

One thing I would like to be able to do is ping more conversations than I currently can. We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good.

I have been working with Microsoft Teams for a couple of years.

I believe that we are working with the latest version.

It is deployed within the organization.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

This solution is used by almost everyone in our organization. I would say there are more than 2,500 users.

I once contacted technical support because I needed to change something I didn't have permission to change. That was the only reason I needed to contact them; otherwise, there is no reason.

Out of five, I would rate them a five.

Positive

The initial setup is easy.

My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be.

I would rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten because it is software that many people are familiar with. For example, if you have someone who needs to communicate with Teams, they will have the necessary software. There is a limited amount of information on both sides. It's not a lot of information to confuse you; it's straight to the point. It's also very good and easy to use.
