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

"The Audio Call feature is its most valuable feature."
"The solution is simple and present in many devices at one time."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The group chat is very good."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"What I use the most is the plugin or the optimization feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need."
"It works fine on lower networks as well."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it is quite complicated to install Microsoft Teams if we want to integrate it with SharePoint or anything else."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"The product needs to improve its security."
"Its screen-sharing feature could be better compared to a few competitors."
"Everything is running smoothly, and I’m still exploring more features. As for improvements, I think it could be more user-friendly and integrate better with third-party software, like Zoom and other video conferencing tools."
"The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally."
"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"The solution is priced high."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"It is a cost-efficient solution."
