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.

An Easy to use tool for brainstorming and planning, compatible with Microsoft Project
This solution works well enough. One can always dream up certain things that may or may not be worth implementing in a piece of software because some other people might have some other better priorities that make more sense. But I would say for what I need it to do, I'm okay. My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful. I am pretty sure that the functionality it has today has more modern methodologies than what I use, but for me, it has been very useful and I have kept using it all of this time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"The tool's user interface is very good."
"You can add Teams to a conversation; you can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions, and it has improved communication between teams and within each team."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"It allows us to invite members to attend the meeting efficiently."
"The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording."
"Microsoft support is excellent, offering instantaneous assistance through either robo support or live personnel."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
 

Cons

"Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution."
"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."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication."
"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier."
"I think it would be helpful if the whiteboard tool was embedded in the solution rather than having to deploy or download a tool for this."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"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."
"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"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."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
