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.

Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's great for meeting conferences."
"The product is continually growing to add new features and functionality."
"This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing."
"What I like most about Microsoft Teams, is that we can pin applications on the top of the group."
"It's easy to share information and upload and download files on Microsoft Teams."
"It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat; it is what I use the most because if I have to reach a team member, given that we are all working remotely, it is the easiest way to do it."
"The group chat is very good."
"In general, the solution provides a good experience, the user interface is friendly and from the user perspective, navigation was simple."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams."
"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"What I'd like to improve in Microsoft Teams are the calendar management and task management tools, because they're not easy to use. They're not user-friendly."
"Even though there are some issues with speed and the solution is expensive, I would still give it maximum, 10 points."
"One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment."
"One thing that needs improvement in the solution is licensing tools within the application, preferably on a per-user basis. Also, it would be great if the contacts list could be synced between it and Outlook. If I receive an email in Outlook, I can easily create a meeting with that person's credentials. But I must manually find and enter their email address in Microsoft Teams. It's a small thing, but it can be frustrating."
"I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams."
"One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
