Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

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

"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository."
"The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone."
"It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams. There are also plugins available from the Microsoft store that can be integrated with the solution. You can edit documents in the tool itself."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team."
"Microsoft Teams has impacted us in positive terms, as we have worked with multiple teams and the team collaboration is very good."
"Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
"The recording function, the transcript function, the chat function, the live caption function, and the setting up of groups to share documents are useful features of Microsoft Teams."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
 

Cons

"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web."
"The product's support can be better."
"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."
"Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."
"The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."
"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."
"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."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"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."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"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."
"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."
