Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Project Manager at UkrSibbank
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.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The conversation capabilities and document management are the solution's most valuable features."
"The tool's integration capabilities are seamless."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
"The instant messaging and video meeting features in Microsoft Teams improve my productivity the most. Instant messaging allows for faster responses compared to email. With many colleagues working remotely, video meetings are often the only way to connect. I could even participate in my last meeting while driving to another city. Having meetings, with some people in a meeting room and others joining remotely, is also very useful."
"The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives."
"You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily."
"Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
"Microsoft Teams has impacted us in positive terms, as we have worked with multiple teams and the team collaboration is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The solution was stable."
"The product has allowed cross-functional discussions across every business group throughout the company."
"The idea crowdsourcing features are valuable because they show the business benefit of this social tool."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its integration with all the services of Office 365."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"Integration into SharePoint is a valuable feature as it provides better exposure and access to users."
"Communication. We are able to communicate and keep in touch with a global audience."
 

Cons

"Whiteboard should be standard rather than an app."
"They could enhance the product's stability and integration features."
"If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session."
"The call quality could be better sometimes. Microsoft could improve the quality of the backgrounds. File sharing could also be smoother. It takes a lot of clicks to download and copy the links. It should be only one click."
"Even though there are some issues with speed and the solution is expensive, I would still give it maximum, 10 points."
"One time the product was basically freezing. I couldn't send a message to my colleague for some reason."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Teams as a six or seven, as there is a lot of audio drop in between, so it's not that stable."
"I would like to see more customization options in the product such as more integration with other tools."
"There needs to be an "Edit" functionality for posts and replies because grammar and spelling mistakes do happen."
"I'll give it a six out of ten because I'm comparing it to what's out there."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"Cannot import or invite bulk users from an Active Directory security group."
"We had some scalability issues."
"Although Microsoft is working on it, having a centralized network instead of creating multiple networks based on a domain would help businesses with multiple companies or child companies."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"Integration with other Office 365 products is still weak, because Yammer initially wasn't a Microsoft product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license for the solution."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"The solution is priced high."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
