CEO at Planfirma Technologies Private Limited

Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity

There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

More Microsoft Teams pros

"It works fine on lower networks as well."

Cons

"The product is not fully integrated in Brazil."

"The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."

"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"The solution should standardize the options across platforms. What I mean by that is, sometimes, on the mobile, there are not the same options and set up features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app. Everything should have the exact same functionality, otherwise, it's difficult if some people are on mobile and others are on desktop."

"The solution needs to be more stable. I have found Zoom to be more stable than Teams."

"One of my colleagues was trying to use Microsoft Teams on their laptop, and it was slow in terms of booting up when initially starting it. For example, it was not running in the background. In general, it takes some time to load. Zoom tends to have a faster loading time."

"We had some upstream outages which impacted collaboration."

More Microsoft Teams cons

"They should reduce data consumption and improve network connection for video calls."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."

"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."

"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."

"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."

"The pricing for Teams is very competitive."

"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."

"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."
