Senior Advisor at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
Easy-to-use solution for chat and video conferencing, but lacks stability and scalability
Pros and Cons
- "We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people."
- "There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for many things, including chat, video conferencing, meeting rooms, and file storage. We've got lots of apps loaded in it. We're quite heavy users of it.
What is most valuable?
We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people. It is a hell of a lot easier than the business used to be.
What needs improvement?
There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues.
Microsoft Teams rooms and their updates are highly unreliable. They don't release enough notes about it. They're very buggy, which we find highly frustrating.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Team for a long period.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are a lot of bugs. The app they release is often buggy and frequently experiences downtime.
We have many users on Mac, and Teams for Mac App often crashes. There are still some bugs until you raise a ticket, they fix them, and then they release an update, and it will break again. It's not reliable.
I rate the solution’s stability probably six or seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If you want to include other people, it's so complex. Sometimes, if you want to add guests, they appear as external. You can add individuals as external or guests; they are quite different.
Additionally, the licensing process for adding people can be really complicated; it can take hours to show up. Sometimes, we create a user, and it may take 24 hours before they gain access to what they need. So, it's definitely not easy to scale.
I rate the solution’s scalability a six out of ten.
We have at least 300 people, including all of our external or guest, using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service is terrible. We've joined a group of 17 other companies with a joint ticket raised with Microsoft for issues with logging people out because of some issues. A big accounting firm was also part of the group, and big law firms were with us. Microsoft has done nothing. It's been three months, and they've not done anything.
How was the initial setup?
My initial response would be to describe the setup as highly complex.
I rate the initial setup a five out of ten, it wasn't simple, it wasn't complex. It fell somewhere in the middle, especially when compared to Zoom. We have extensively used Zoom before, and Zoom is genuinely easy to use, while Microsoft Teams is comparatively more challenging.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low.
I rate the pricing four out of ten, where one is low and ten is high.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I’ve used Zoom before.
What other advice do I have?
I better recommend Zoom to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

DTM SAP at VARUN BEVERAGES LIMITED
Has a team sharing feature for remote access and document collaboration during calls and meetings
Pros and Cons
- "Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
- "In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
What is our primary use case?
I use it for meeting prospects, current calls, and also for some apps like workflow and notes. It has been quite useful, and I find the tools and functionalities great.
What is most valuable?
Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings. These features are excellent, and I haven't found them in other tools.
What needs improvement?
In future releases, short voice messages would be useful. Sometimes, when people are in other meetings, it would be great to leave a voice message if they're not reachable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Teams for the past four years. We use the latest version because it generally gets updated through backend policies.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are around 500 to 600 users in my organization using this solution.
What about the implementation team?
The setup is usually done by the IT people in the organization. As an end user, we just start using the features and the product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My advice is that Microsoft Teams is not just a tool for meetings. It offers additional features and add-on apps like WebBooks, Azure, task planner, and more. Updates are regularly provided, and you can even use Excel tools on the go.
Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. If a tool provides everything I need without any issues, then it deserves the highest score. That's why I'm giving it a nine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used Google Meet, Skype (the older version), and WebEx for meetings and webinars. But Microsoft Teams is quite advanced and has a lot of features.
If I compare it with Google Meet, Google Meet doesn't offer remote sessions. That is the main disadvantage compared to Google Meet.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

What needs improvement?
I would like to get more frequent updates, and the solution’s stability could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Teams for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for stability because sometimes we experience call drops. Since the bandwidth required for Microsoft Teams is huge, there can be issues of lag between video and audio.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution's scalability is good because there is no limitation on the number of people who can join the call simultaneously. I rate Microsoft Teams ten out of ten for scalability. Around 1,000 users are using Microsoft Teams in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
It is easy to set up Microsoft Teams. The solution took around 15 to 20 minutes to deploy.

A collaboration tool that can be used to chat with people, manage projects and share documents
Pros and Cons
- "You can use Microsoft Teams to chat with people, share your documents, manage your calendar, manage your project, and assign tasks."
- "There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams."
What is our primary use case?
In the organization where I work, Microsoft Teams is used as a collaboration tool, and it's our company-wide policy to use Microsoft Teams as the integrated tool for all communications and collaborating documents.
What is most valuable?
I like that Microsoft Teams has all the team management features in one place. You can use Microsoft Teams to chat with people, share your documents, manage your calendar, manage your project, and assign tasks. The solution also has multiple small tools available. All in all, it's one place where you can have everything in a single window.
What needs improvement?
There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Teams for almost three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I’ve never faced any issues with the solution’s stability.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've previously used Atlassian Jira. If you are looking for a hard-core project wherein you can get a complete timesheet and better project manageability, Jira is a better tool. However, Microsoft Teams is the better option if you are looking for chatting, collaborating, and sharing features. Jira does not have chatting capability in it.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup wasn't much complex, but it was pretty straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
Generally, it is the backend team that does the deployment. As end users, we are there to create our folders and channels. We can manage our individual projects by ourselves. However, from the server level, a dedicated company team works on the solution's deployment.
What other advice do I have?
Microsoft Teams is a very popular platform by Microsoft that is very commonly used in all organizations.
Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.
