Microsoft Teams Reviews

We use it for all communication between product development, product management, technical support, field teams, and other stakeholders. It is our primary vehicle for all communications. We have used it extensively to share content, such as spreadsheets, docs, PowerPoints, and other product related materials, for R&D and internal teams (e.g., the technical and field teams) as well as customer-facing documentation. With the recent COVID-19 forcing all our team members to work remotely, this solution has been an invaluable resource where we can easily set up virtual meetings (with or without video conferencing). 

We utilize the chat (with and without video calling) quite a bit as well as the ability to create content and store it. It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload. We take advantage of the Wiki pages to schedule meetings through the calendar, which all but eliminates the need to use Outlook calendar. Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors. It works as we work and is fairly flexible when configuring things that are team/program specific. 

If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool. I'm not a developer, but if Teams could be integrated with VS or Eclipse to easily share information in a chat panel, such as a task you are working on, roadblocks you may have run into, or if you need approval for something. 

This is not critical. It would be a nice feature to be able to have your own background, use a collage (if desired) when doing video calls, or use an animated emoji in place of your video during live chats (as a way to add more personal flavor to your personality).  

More than one year.

It is very stable when compared to Fuze and Skype for Business.

So far, it scales well.

Not applicable at this stage.

Yes, we have previously use Fuze as well as Rocket.Chat and Skype for Business. Fuze was unreliable. Skype for Business and Rocket.Chat lacked too many features.

As a large organization, we have used our fair share of tools, such as Skype for Business (S4B), Rocket.Chat, and most recently Fuze. Rocket.Chat is limited to chat only. Although you can share/attach docs, screenshots, and such, there isn't an easy way to organize the collection of data. If your team likes the ability to use a Wiki tool, there is nothing inherently built into Rocket.Chat for this. S4B is limited to video, chatting, and screen shares, lIke Rocket.Chat, for what it does, though it does it fairly well. However, as a tool for collaboration and communication with a team (large and small), S4B is too limited. Fuze, by far, is the worst tool. It was far too unreliable with calls (with or without video). Teams is a blend of Rocket.Chat, S4B, and a "working" version of Fuze.

Straightforward.

Vendor team.

Someone else handles it. I would estimate it has saved an average of at least one hour per day (for myself) as Fuze crashed too often, then I ended up reverting back to Skype for Business or GoToMeeting. 

Only Teams.

Mostly, how to use it and best practices (real world compared to what we are using today).

We use Microsoft Teams to communicate with colleagues via scheduling meetings and calls.

Microsoft Teams could log in faster.

We have 100 Microsoft Teams users in our organization.

I use Zoom and Google Meet as well.

The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives.

I rate Microsoft Teams a ten out of ten.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to share documents easily.

It is challenging to sign up for a new device for the solution. It could be better.

We have been using the solution for three years. At present, we use the latest version.

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten.

We have more than 2000 solution users in our organization. I rate its scalability a seven out of ten.

The solution's initial setup is easy. I rate the process a nine out of ten.

The solution is very secure. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The video calls are the primary use case for me. 

Video calls and chats are essential features for me. Clear voice and video calls are preferable. 

Additionally, I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful. Microsoft Teams allow us to create projects and store relevant data, making it a good tool for me. I feel comfortable using it.

One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication. Apart from that, Teams is great in terms of documentation.  

So, the authentication process needs to be better.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for more than ten years. 

I would give the stability a ten out of ten. I haven't experienced any issues with Teams. It has been very stable for me.

I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability. It depends on the licenses and the number of users based on the licenses.

In our organization, we have around 250 users using this solution.

From my perspective, I haven't personally interacted with technical support. However, from what I understand from my network team, Microsoft provides 24/7 support for any network-related issues.

The initial setup is very simple and user-friendly. Microsoft has done a good job of making it easy to use.

We have both a desktop version and a web-based version.

Deployment doesn't take much time to install Teams on a desktop or laptop. The deployment process is quick, especially with the authentication in place.

Zoom also works, but personally, I find Teams to be better than Zoom. Teams has been more reliable in my experience.

So, I find Teams to be better than other solutions like Zoom.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten. It's a very good product. I would recommend using this solution. 

I use Microsoft Teams for studies and official purposes.

Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution.

I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for 10 years.

I rate Microsoft Teams ten out of ten for stability.

I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

The solution’s deployment took only a few minutes. Only one administrator is required for the solution’s deployment and maintenance.

We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis. Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution.

I am using the latest version of Microsoft Teams. Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization, and we have no plans to increase the usage.

I would recommend Microsoft Teams to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams ten out of ten.

The tool is scalable, flexible, and good in all aspects. I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat. 

The solution should improve internal and external data expansion. I am not able to send records to an external member who has been added to the call. I am only able to send the file to the internal member. These features should be enabled in that Teams so that during the call, we can share the document file and discuss at the same time.

I have been working with the solution for six months. 

I would rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. Sometimes, when you share the screen with a client it goes blank. It becomes clear once you rejoin the meeting. I think this is a bug or a drawback.  

I have used browser-based applications like Zoom but find Teams to be much more flexible. 

I would rate the tool's setup a nine out of ten. You just need to log in and download the file to get started. 

I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

I use the solution for chatting at work. 

The solution has calendars that help us to manage work. 

The product needs to improve its stability. 

The solution is stable since it never broke up. It never became a problem. I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

My company has 200 users for the product. 

I have never used the tool's technical support. 

The solution comes with Windows 11. However, if you use Mac then you need to install it which takes only a couple of minutes to complete. 

I can do the tool's deployment by myself. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution to communicate between teams. During the COVID pandemic, we used the communication solution. Post that we follow a blended work approach where some of us work on-premises and others at home. The tool helps us to create meetings. 

The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls. 

The tool needs to improve its stability. There are issues when too many people use it at the same time. 

We have been using the solution since 2019. 

I would rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has 40-50 users for the product.
