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.

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 video call and document-sharing features."
"It's mainly the integration of everything document-wise and the consistency that I really liked within Microsoft Teams."
"For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes."
"Overall, this is a very good collaboration product and the only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect grade is the heavy bandwidth usage."
"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"The product is continually growing to add new features and functionality."
"Managing meeting on Microsoft Teams is better than managing traditional face to face meetings."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat."

Cons

"It takes me time to adapt to the new improvements in the product, and they don't add too much value for me. I would prefer Microsoft Teams to reduce their frequent updates."
"The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"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."
"They could enhance the product's stability and integration features."
"I faced a scenario where I disconnected the call from my laptop, but sometimes the call still came through on my phone."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
