Works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal.
The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal. It was more fun to create a community in Jive than to use shared spreadsheets in Dropbox or Google docs. Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address.
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

"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."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"It helps our organization with faster communication."
"Organizing a meeting is very simple to do."
"All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes."
"Our company is moving from their Skype for Business to Teams. So I've seen it, I've looked at it, I've used it somewhat enjoyed the UI."
"In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."
"Integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing."
"The Audio Call feature is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"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."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario."
"The solution's stability can be better."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."
"They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting."
"One of my colleagues was trying to use Microsoft Teams on their laptop, and it was slow in terms of booting up when initially starting it. For example, it was not running in the background. In general, it takes some time to load. Zoom tends to have a faster loading time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
