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.

Senior Technical Product Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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 most valuable features are that it is an all-in-one platform, making it very easy for collaboration with your core employees."
"Microsoft Teams combines most of the Office 365 products in one very convenient product."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"Microsoft Teams is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool is scalable, flexible, and good in all aspects. I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat."
"In terms of administrating through Office 365, I like the administration panel, the configuration is easy and powerful, and its integration within Microsoft is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."
"Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors."
"There are so many features, everything you could ever want, which is great for team collaboration."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is that it provides integration with Teams."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the communication events."
"The product has allowed cross-functional discussions across every business group throughout the company."
"Yammer was an outstanding performer in the collaborative platform category."
"Communication. We are able to communicate and keep in touch with a global audience."
"I consider Yammer to be the best business collaborative tool."
"The tool allows us to post and keep track of company buzz and events without relying on email."
 

Cons

"They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting."
"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."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."
"For improvements to Microsoft Teams, I would say sometimes the tool gets stuck."
"Whenever we have particular people whose pronunciations are not perfect, we have to jot down and note whatever they are saying, rather than relying on technology or Copilot to transcribe it."
"The mobile application needs improvement."
"There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow."
"It needs more support for third-party apps."
"I would give the technical support a rating of 3/10."
"Cannot import or invite bulk users from an Active Directory security group."
"Ability to edit posts and also rich text would be good. Currently, unlike other social tools like Facebook at Work and Chatter, Yammer does not have the ability to edit posts."
"They need to somehow enable better document sharing features. They need to provide joint drafting of documents."
"There needs to be an "Edit" functionality for posts and replies because grammar and spelling mistakes do happen."
"If you are using other applications that are tough to integrate into the environment, that can cause limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 don't have to pay for the solution."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"The pricing is not bad."
"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."
