Senior Analyst at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
Real-time collaboration has transformed daily team communication and shared document workflows
I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds. It's time-consuming. I would prefer if any documents or files we share with Google Chat Workspace could be smoother, similar to Zoom. That is my preference for improvement.

Collaboration has transformed daily work and supports seamless global voice communication
Microsoft Teams could be improved, especially regarding contact center solutions which have a growing need for omnichannel capabilities, integrating with external platforms such as social media and email for a unified experience. Minor improvements might include reintroducing features such as GPU options available in classic Microsoft Teams to address issues in modern Microsoft Teams related to video meetings and content sharing. Furthermore, essential information such as who started or ended recordings should be more accessible in the Microsoft Teams admin center. I rate it a nine because Microsoft Teams occasionally experiences glitches in the client, leading to missing chat history or other transient issues. The performance issues with the desktop client and the support service complexities contribute to my rating being less than perfect. I have not identified any other improvements needed for Microsoft Teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am working with multiple users in the same sheet at the same time, which is really amazing for all of us because we are working from different places but in the same sheet at the same time."
"The transcription feature is great."
"Through Copilot searches, we get to see versions or details around those topics, making it really easy to interact with other fellow colleagues from the same company and get in touch with them to find out more details."
"This solution is great for ad hoc video conferencing. It's so easy to start a meeting."
"Microsoft Teams combines most of the Office 365 products in one very convenient product."
"For me, Microsoft Teams' most valuable features are online meetings, calls, and chat. While I also use it to access OneDrive and my calendar, the core functions I rely on are meetings and calls."
"The solution's scalability works well."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
"Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors."
 

Cons

"I think there are some issues like when I share any photo, it's working very slow and the other end partner receives it after a few seconds."
"They need to improve the scalability of Teams."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"There could be performance spikes and better reliability. We saw a lot of stability issues."
"Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that."
"The biggest issue is web content."
"Its screen-sharing feature could be better compared to a few competitors."
"For improvements to Microsoft Teams, I would say sometimes the tool gets stuck."
