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

"The biggest advantage of Microsoft Teams is that it is a combined package where I can do chat, video conferencing, work on spreadsheets, documents, and other things with many people sitting at my desk, which makes work easy, especially with clients who are in remote locations, so it saves a lot of time."
"For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes."
"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the video call and document-sharing features."
"It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams."
"The most valuable features are that it is an all-in-one platform, making it very easy for collaboration with your core employees."
"The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the calendar integration and the integration of chat and chat history into events."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
 

Cons

"Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow."
"I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams."
"The desktop and mobile apps are quite different."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"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."
"I have had concerns with login and resource consumption using Microsoft Teams, I would consider Zoom or Cisco WebEx as better solutions."
"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's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"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."
