Microsoft Teams Reviews

We use Microsoft Teams for normal SharePoint activity. We have offices in the US and some in India, and we do our regular team meetings on Microsoft Teams.

All basic features of Microsoft Teams are good enough. The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording. We can set up the Microsoft Team's settings within seconds, and connectivity is also good. We can connect with anybody, including our customers.

Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased. The voice quality sometimes is not good, but it could be because of internet issues.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for about a year or so.

It could be because of internet issues, but the screen often freezes off. We have Microsoft Teams meetings at least thrice a week. Throughout some 10 to 20 meetings, the screen freezes off one or two times. Subsequently, leaving the meeting and coming back takes time.

I rate Microsoft Teams between eight and nine out of ten for stability.

The solution's scalability is good enough for us. We have never faced any issues with the solution's scalability. We use Microsoft Teams about three to four times a week. We use it every alternate day for about half an hour, two hours, or one and a half hours. We have never faced any issues, and even if it's a continuous three hours meeting, there's no stoppage in the service. Currently, 15 users are using Microsoft Teams in our organization, and we may scale up to about 30 to 35 users after some time.

We use SharePoint from Microsoft. Earlier, we used to use Google Meet. Although Google Meet was free, it had a time limit of 45 minutes. We used to use another product from an Indian-based company with its own data center. It is a free VC software, but we stopped using it because of some teething issues.

The solution's initial setup is quite okay and very user-friendly.

We are IT and system integrators ourselves. Although we're a small company, our organization has a technical team who does the deployment. We didn't have to take any assistance from outside.

My technical team remotely deployed Microsoft Teams. From a user perspective, if I had to connect or have a Microsoft Teams meeting with any of my vendors, customers, or internally, I know how to do it, and it's quite simple.

Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions. We bought the entire suite of products, including Office, Outlook, and Teams.

Microsoft Teams is deployed on-cloud in our organization. Microsoft Teams is an expensive product. Since we are a micro and small mid sized company, we have to pay more cost. Big banks and big enterprise customers pay half the price of what we pay because their number of users is more. If the company is very big, the solution's cost reduces substantially.

Microsoft Teams is a very standard platform. Many of our customers are using Microsoft. Google is also quite good, and Google is much easier to use and user-friendly than Microsoft Teams.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams an eight or nine out of ten.

Microsoft Teams provides everything that users need, including the cameras and attachments. With the help of Teams, you can manage your data transfer into the environment.

Almost 70% of the world currently uses Microsoft Teams because it is easy to use.

I would like to get less frequent updates from the solution.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for many years.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

Around 3,50,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Microsoft Teams is a better video conferencing tool than Skype.

Microsoft Teams has good features that users require. We can connect with Microsoft Teams from anywhere in the world. Even if you don't have a phone, you can connect with Microsoft Teams. You only require an internet connection.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The primary use case for Microsoft Teams within our organization spans across various verticals in our organization. As part of the MDR team, collaboration involves working with technical support, quick response teams, IT professionals, and HR. 

We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product. These disruptions, affecting various Microsoft products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams, might have been attributed to server issues on Microsoft's end.

There could be a feature allowing users to respond to specific messages or comments within a group chat. They could support GIFs and emojis similar to the features available in Slack. Currently, Teams has limitations in its built-in applications has some limitations. There could be an option to gather and customize the emojis and GIFs from the internet.

We use the latest version of Microsoft Teams.

The platform is stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have 5000 Microsoft Teams users in our organization. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

In my previous organization, the collaboration tools evolved from Skype to Lync, and eventually, Microsoft Teams was introduced. I have experience using Lync for approximately a year before the transition to Teams. In my current role, I have primarily used Microsoft Teams and Slack in their respective capabilities within the workplace.

We have a team of 100 executives for the product’s maintenance.

The "Together Mode" feature in Microsoft Teams has been particularly valuable for our team's productivity and overall collaboration. This feature is especially beneficial during group video calls, as it creates a virtual environment where team members appear together in a shared space. This has proven useful for capturing group photos and fostering a sense of connection, especially in a remote work environment. Additionally, during virtual celebrations and events, the ability to click pictures seamlessly in Teams adds a fun and engaging element, enhancing the overall team experience. The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings.

I recommend it to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings.

The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users.

The solution should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes.

The solution should include a very simple way of capturing transcription without necessarily taking a full recording or any AI product that allows you to note what is going on in the meeting automatically. This would help you have personal notes about the meeting summary that would help you prepare minutes and actions to share with the participants.

I rate the solution a five out of ten for stability.

We use the solution daily in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for scalability.

I previously used different solutions like Zoom and Google Meet.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a two out of ten.

Microsoft Teams is deployed on the cloud in our organization. We use Microsoft Teams as a stand-alone solution in our organization. Microsoft is not very good at keeping your identity separate. Microsoft does all sorts of things to tie you in rather than just allow you to use non-Microsoft tools, which makes it difficult. I would not recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a four out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for all kinds of online meetings, cards, chats, and everything.

Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use. It is also hugely connected and stable.

I think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple. You need to have it separately. Also, sharing is something in the solution that becomes quite complicated sometimes.

I have been using Microsoft Teams. It's a great solution. From the time COVID started, my company has been using Microsoft Teams. We started using it somewhere around 2018 or 2019. I am just a user of the solution.

I haven't seen any stability issues in the solution.

Microsoft Teams is very easy to scale. In my company, we have around 40,000 to 50,000 users of the solution.

I don't know about Microsoft's support because we don't see all that since we have our own in-house teams.

I had Microsoft Teams installed by the IT department.

I wouldn't have any advice to offer because I don't know other solutions very well. I am like a fish in a pond that has never seen anything beyond the pond. Since I am satisfied with the solution, I would recommend it to others.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for communication and creating teams or groups to share information quickly within the organization.

The solution helps our organization with faster communication.

The solution's most valuable features are meeting, calling, and activity feed.

The solution consumes a high amount of system memory. It could be improved.

We have been using the solution for more than six years.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. We implement it on the cloud infrastructure. 

The solution generates a good return on investment.

The solution's pricing is reasonable.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it a ten out of ten. It is an essential tool for quick communication and sharing files.

I use Microsoft Teams for remote communication with other members of my team.

Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams.

Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for ten years.

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

Microsoft Teams is a pretty scalable solution. I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution's initial setup is pretty easy. I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its ease of initial setup.

The solution's deployment takes about an hour.

Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine. I rate Microsoft Teams a three out of ten for pricing.

Microsoft Teams is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Microsoft Teams is definitely better than Google Meet because Google Meet doesn't retain chat history after the sessions, which is not very good. Zoom is frustrating because the account management is all hosted by a third party. Zoom works, but you're constrained. Microsoft Teams is a little bit more flexible.

The advice I would give to people looking into using Microsoft Teams is that it is not linked directly to Active Directory. Even though it's called Microsoft, it's still a third-party plug-in. You have to be aware that Outlook Web Access needs to be enabled in order to use calendars and scheduling with people who aren't in your organization.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.

We use the product for internal and client meetings. 

The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well.

The solution has a plugin app called Whiteboard which is useful. I am also impressed with the product's projecting on screen, audio and the video. 

The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit.

I have been using the product since the start of the lockdown in March 2022. 

I would rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. I have faced issues due to network connectivity. 

I would rate the product's scalability a nine-point five out of ten. The whole world uses Office and it's an extension of it. My company has around 200 users for the product. Since we are a law firm, users are mostly non-technical persons. We use the solution daily. 

I have been never required to contact the technical support at Microsoft since the functionality is basic. 

We have used VC software but switched to Teams because its easier to understand. 

The tool's installation is easy and it is installed on our laptops. The solution's deployment was fast and we deployed it throughout the organization within two to three days. One technical person from our Delhi office helped us with the product's installation. I think that one person would be enough to handle the installation in an office of 60 people. 

The product's installation was done in-house. The IT team helped us with that. They took our laptops and helped us to install them.

We have a subscription to Zoom. Zoom is more suited for conferences and seminars or when you have a large number who are attending the meeting. Teams is useful when you have a small gathering and want to have focused conversations with either your clients or internally. 

I would rate the product a nine-point five out of ten because of the ease of use. The solution is integrated with Office 365's Calendar. You can open Outlook and access it from there which makes it very seamless. The solution is a great software and I recommend it highly. The main reason that Teams have an edge is that, in most offices, there is limited accessibility to Gmail and hence problems with Google Meet. 

We use the product for meetings. 

I like the tool's screen share feature. 

The product needs to improve its security. 

I have been using the solution for three years. 

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

I would rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 40-60 users for the product. We use the product at least on a weekly basis. 

I find Zoom easier in the browser version. 

The tool's setup is straightforward and not technical. 

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

I would rate the tool a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution to drive productivity, communication, and collaboration.

The solution's most valuable features are robust security and communication within teams or channels. One of the other key features is its ability to allow a seamless transition from chat to a video call. Additionally, we can record the conversation and obtain a transcript as well.

Its sharing screens and collaborative note-taking during meetings feature works best. It proved valuable for a hybrid work environment, where individuals had to work from different locations due to factors like COVID-19. It helped bring people together, ensuring productivity and engagement.

The solution constantly keeps updating. It might overwhelm end users while adapting to them. Thus, there needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features.

I rate the solution's technical support for enterprise business a nine out of ten. Whereas, for small or medium business levels, a six out of ten as it is challenging to get the queries resolved for them.

Positive

We have used Slack before. In comparison, the solution receives updates more frequently.

The solution's initial setup is simple for an enterprise. It can be easily understood, especially when integrating with Active Directory.

The number of executives required for deployment depends on the use cases and size of the organization. It took over a year for us to fully roll out Microsoft Teams to an organization with 36,000 people.

Planning and establishing controls to ensure proper data security in Microsoft Teams is important. I advise others to understand the necessary measures to protect their data. Also, starting gradually and only enabling some features would be better. They should focus on particular use cases, such as communication via channels, audio/video conferencing, etc.

The solution is a centerpiece of Microsoft 365. I rate it a ten out of ten based on its capabilities.
