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

"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."
"The feature I like most in Microsoft Teams is the ability to work on the same file with other people, for example, on Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel, without needing to share the file via email."
"Sharing documents in real-time has been incredibly helpful."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The collaborating feature."
"The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
 

Cons

"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times."
"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 think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple."
"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is priced high."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"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."
