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

"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Managing meeting on Microsoft Teams is better than managing traditional face to face meetings."
"The integration of online jobs and documents is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The ability to integrate tasks and to assign tasks to certain people is great."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the ease of use, and it is very good for a small virtual office for meetings and calendars which sync well together."
"Microsoft Teams is a communication platform that enables one-on-one communication as well as group communication, and it is convenient with recordings and AI tools such as automatic transcripts."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"This solution is great for ad hoc video conferencing. It's so easy to start a meeting."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"The solution should offer a way for people to virtually raise their hands in a meeting so that everyone can speak. There's a user voice for this already, but it would help if there was some sort of visual cue as well."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The product should improve its security aspect, scalability, stability, and screen recording. It would be nice if Teams could come up with a feature where I can write chats and send them as mail. It would be also good if Teams could be connected to our application software so that for any doubts that can occur during the training, the operator can resolve them through chats. Hence, they can easily guide and close the issue."
"I faced a scenario where I disconnected the call from my laptop, but sometimes the call still came through on my phone."
"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."
"Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth."
"Technical support could be improved."
"One time the product was basically freezing. I couldn't send a message to my colleague for some reason."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"The solution is affordable."

At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
