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 ( /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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."
"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"The platform has facilitated our communication and collaboration, especially in a remote or hybrid work environment."
"Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"I like the whiteboard feature as well. I'm able to scribble some stuff if I need to explain a couple of items."
"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."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting."
"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."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"The product's support can be better."
"If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool."
"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"The way we test the audio devices must be improved."
"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."
