We use Microsoft Teams for collaboration and internal communication in our organization. We also used it for online meetings and virtual webinars during COVID.
Head of Pre-Sales at Positron Multiverse Co., Ltd
A well-rounded tool for internal communication with real-time file sharing capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams."
- "Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Its ability to streamline communications has helped. Teams can do chat, voice, and video calls as well. Sometimes, we require a lot of communication by email, and Microsoft Teams can also be used for that.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams. We can have online meetings embedded with security to protect all our communication and conversations.
What needs improvement?
Since large organizations use Teams, it requires a stable bandwidth and hardware performance when we start the application. Moreover, it needs a stable bandwidth when we open the application on the phone, as we cannot communicate with Avaya properly. Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones.
Microsoft Teams requires web-friendly sign-up for calls.

Microsoft Teams is stable as long as the connection is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are 160 users in our organization using Teams. We have hosted live events, and we have gotten more than 1,000 participants to join.
How are customer service and support?
We raised an issue last year where the team could not use Microsoft Teams. We opened a ticket with the support team. They responded and informed us they had a backend system problem. After that, it took a few hours, and it worked fine.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Microsoft Teams is easy to set up, and there are no complexities. If you are using Office 365, you can download and install it. It automatically integrates with your account, so it has no problem. You can log into your account and download and install it on your own.
The solution is not difficult to maintain.

Webex and Zoom are better in terms of support, which we have only ever experienced when our customers face problems, and we have to contact support on their behalf.

Group Head of ERP at Packages Limited
Seamless 365 integration with useful chat features and helpful support
Pros and Cons
- "The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere."
- "The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365."
What is our primary use case?
The primary aim was to enable remote work, organize meetings and utilize it as an instant messaging tool across the organization. We have around 2000 users on Microsoft Teams.
Teams reduced our high traveling costs too as we are conducting training sessions remotely instead of visiting branches. We have a large network of branches across the country and abroad. Teams has strong integration with Office 365 tools which helps with collaborating on documents shared during meetings and conversations with team members in the groups.
How has it helped my organization?
Microsoft Teams reduced the significant cost of traveling. We have a large-scale network of branches in the country and abroad too. It became pretty easy to share documents across different teams, groups, and individually.
Instant chat made people more engaged and reachable at all times. Instead of sending email to colleagues, we can discuss and share documents immediately.
The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere.
We regularly organize seminars for distributors, and this channel helped us organize a large audience online.
What is most valuable?
It offers seamless Microsoft 365 integration. With Teams integration, you can quickly create teams within a group, bring deleted groups back, edit the group email alias, and use sensitivity labels.
Chat is one of the key features of Microsoft Teams. Whether it’s just with one person or with a group chat allows you to instantly message team members for quick discussions and feedback.
You’ll have less clutter in your inbox as prompt, quick questions get resolved over Teams chat rather than a potentially long wait for an email reply.
What needs improvement?
The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365. External user visibility must be available in the next releases of Microsoft Teams.
User activity logs must be available along with more task management capabilities.
Microsoft Teams is able to translate slides into multiple languages. It also is able to transcribe audio from multiple languages. It would be beneficial if it could also take the transcription in one language and translate it into another. It may not be great since the source is audio. However, it would be helpful in a situation when professional translation services are not available.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Teams for seven years.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is awesome.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive

We did also evaluate Zoom.

Has Microsoft Planner feature and can share files
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."
- "The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to collaborate and share files.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on.
What needs improvement?
The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web.
The difference is that when using the web version, most of the features and options for external groups are easier to find than the desktop application.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a long time.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Microsoft Teams is more flexible compared to other alternatives.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's pricing is average.
What other advice do I have?
My colleagues use Microsoft Copilot. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes, though it has good stability
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Teams for meetings.
What is most valuable?
The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users.
What needs improvement?
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.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution a five out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used different solutions like Zoom and Google Meet.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
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?
Microsoft Azure

Solution Consultant at Apptio
A stable solution that enables users to share information and collaborate with their team members
Pros and Cons
- "The product enables us to create teams for specific projects."
- "The way we test the audio devices must be improved."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for customer meetings.
What is most valuable?
It is very easy to set up. The product enables us to create teams for specific projects. We can share information and documents and start collaborating within teams. Setting up meetings is a comfortable experience.
What needs improvement?
The product doesn’t indicate what kind of audio device is connected during the meetings. I do not know whether the participant in the meeting is on a headset or the speaker. The way we test the audio devices must be improved. The test call we make is too complex and takes long. The tool must just provide an option to play a sound and test whether the output is coming from the speakers or headsets.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for less than four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is quite stable. I have never had any issues with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use other tools, too. We use what customers prefer. Microsoft Teams provides easy integration with Microsoft Office. It makes collaboration within teams easy. It enables sharing of information, documents, and presentations. The quality of the online meetings with customers and partners is good. The audio setup is the only con in the product.
What other advice do I have?
We started using the solution during COVID-19. In-person meetings enable more interactions and feedback. Online meetings are beneficial when we have to present something to people in different countries, and we cannot afford the time and cost to organize on-site meetings. People who want to use the tool must have it integrated with Outlook. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
