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

"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool."
"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."
"Teams integrates with a lot of our technologies, especially features like the Teams channels."
"Sharing documents in real-time has been incredibly helpful."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
"Microsoft Teams is a very stable app."
"Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"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."
 

Cons

"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth."
"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."
"There are some issues with stability."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout. It is no longer representative of the layout that you actually have in a document. You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look."
"One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization."
"Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution."
"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 solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
