Used by our agile teams instead of email to track impediments.
Stream activity could be better organized. Activities or content you are following will either be emailed to you or you follow in a stream. This is the largest issue to overcome for new people using the solution. When using email they receive way too many and it becomes noise. If they use streams, it's yet another thing to check along with email, IM, etc.

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 ( /vendors/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

"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."
"Managing meeting on Microsoft Teams is better than managing traditional face to face meetings."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations."
"The video conferencing is good."
"This solution is great for ad hoc video conferencing. It's so easy to start a meeting."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft Teams could log in faster."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
"The mobile application needs improvement. There are a lot of features on the web and desktop versions that aren't implemented yet on mobile."
"We face issues related to screen-sharing and stability. It is very difficult to get Microsoft's support to troubleshoot the issues. The product also needs to update its recording features."
"One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization."
"It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear."
