A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Stability for Avaya Spaces is quite good, and I would rate it a 9."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the messaging and the video calling, especially where you can add a background."
"Setting up Teams was not difficult."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are scheduling a meeting and integration with other Microsoft services like SharePoint and OneDrive."
"The transcription feature is great."
"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's easy to share information and upload and download files on Microsoft Teams."
 

Cons

"The initial setup for Avaya Spaces is very good for me, but for sharing with other users, the setup is a little bit complex compared to other solutions I have used, such as Zoom or Teams, as the installation is more complex."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
"The interface must be more user-friendly."
"In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
"The solution should improve its user interface and recording features."
"The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory."
"If you talk about the tool's disadvantages, it consists of losing connection. It's also a problem that it only stores information for up to 40 days. The aforementioned areas can be considered for improvement."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."
"Microsoft Teams is quite demanding on bandwidth, which has been a problem during the COVID situation because we don't get enterprise-class bandwidth at home."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."

"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
"The price is relatively high."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
