Microsoft Teams Reviews

I use the solution in my company for virtual meetings and collaborations.

The benefits derived from the use of the product revolve around the fact that it offers better collaboration functionalities and communication features.

I haven't seen any issues. The whiteboarding area in the tool has certain shortcomings where improvements are required. Whiteboarding needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams compared to other tools like Zoom, which is way better.

I have issues with the costs associated with the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for more than five years. I am an end user of the solution.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Around 50 people in my company use the product.

The product is used on a daily basis in my company since we need to use the tool's chat functionality.

My company does not get direct support from Microsoft since we are the end users of the solution, but we do get support from the partners.

Zoom is better than Microsoft Teams. Zoom is kind of more flexible and complex than Microsoft Teams. I can say Zoom has more control. We are able to control the virtual meetings in a simpler manner than Microsoft Teams, even when conducting webinars. Many areas are simpler in Zoom compared to Microsoft Teams.

My company has stopped using Zoom since we have more Microsoft Teams licenses.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy. You just need to install the application and log in with your credentials, which is very easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud version.

The solution can be deployed in a few minutes.

The solution can be deployed with the help of the company's in-house members.

The price of the product is okay. 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. The cost is high in general.

The tool improves team collaboration with the help of a planner and chat option.

The tool's integration capabilities are seamless. For example, the tool can be integrated with the application.

The product helps support a hybrid work environment in our company, especially for remote teams.

My company has not ventured into the AI side associated with Microsoft Teams.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it.

The product is simple to use, and it has a very low learning curve while offering overall stability.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for collaboration, chats, team meetings, and uploading documents.

Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things.

Compared to other tools available, some features are missing in Microsoft Teams. For example, Zoom is more user-friendly than Microsoft Teams. The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for almost three years.

Microsoft Teams is a quite stable solution. There are occasional crashes with the solution, but it's very rare now after its latest upgrade.

Ours is a big organization with more than 20,000 users using Microsoft Teams. Our company's plan to increase the solution's usage depends on the number of new employees joining the organization.

Previously we used Skype. We switched to Microsoft Teams because Skype was getting outdated, and Microsoft suggested we start using Teams because it's their latest product.

The solution's initial setup is a little complex and not so straightforward.

The solution's deployment took a couple of months. However, that was the initial version of Microsoft Teams, which had no features. Over the last two to three years, it has improved a lot, and it's much easier to use now compared to how it was about a couple of years back.

Our company has a separate team to deploy Microsoft products that takes care of the deployment and maintenance of Microsoft Teams.

We have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Teams. During COVID, we worked from home, and Microsoft Teams was the only option to meet people and work remotely.

We are using the latest version of Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based solution. I would recommend this solution to other users because the product has improved over the last couple of years, and I hope more features will come soon.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a six out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for team meetings, collaborations, and data management. We have a SharePoint that we manage through Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is used to collaborate, talk with your colleagues and make them understand or share quick files like you do on Whatsapp.

I used Skype for Business earlier, but it was unstable because we could not share files, and it used to hang a lot. Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business. However, due to its application size, Microsoft Teams becomes very heavy and consumes most of the RAM and operating system. I don't use the Microsoft Teams application because it consumes a lot of power due to its big heavy size.

Microsoft Teams' application should be very lightweight. If you host a meeting on Microsoft Teams and check your system resources, you will find that the solution consumes approximately 600 to 700 MB of RAM. On the other hand, Zoom hardly uses 50 to 60 MB of RAM. The agent utilization of the resources with Microsoft Teams on the system is very high compared to other platforms giving the same feature.

Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow. Initially, Microsoft Teams was much faster when I worked on it as a user. However, with time, it became so slow that I couldn't use it much and decided to use it on the web. The web version of Microsoft Teams is much faster than the application, and that's the thing. There are multiple forums like SharePoint where you can integrate and store many applications, but storing on Microsoft Teams is making it very, very, very slow.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for four to five years.

Microsoft Teams is not at all a stable product for me. The solution works if you're not doing anything other than chatting. However, opening several tabs in Microsoft Teams and trying to search for things is really slow. I rate Microsoft Teams four or four and a half out of ten for stability.

In my current organization, approximately 4,000 people are using Microsoft Teams. In my previous organization, 1,80,000 people were using the solution.

The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is very, very easy. The solution is available offline and online. You can install it through the Microsoft Store or download the EXE file. You need to sign in and do the installation.

Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization. If you are using the solution only for chatting or creating something on SharePoint, it's free. However, there are some services that you can integrate with Microsoft Teams at a cost.

I use the on-cloud version of Microsoft Teams. Compared to Microsoft Teams, no other product has a similar scale that can help. People have tried using Yammer or other internal tools to enhance productivity, but there's no one in the competition currently. Even if I say that I would not suggest or recommend Microsoft Teams to other users, I don't have any alternative for them.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a five out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings, organizing video calls, and video conferences. We also use it for the team chat function, the chat. All the product lines have their own group set up here. So they can share information through chatting and conference calls.

I put the live captions up when I am on a call and want to mute it. I like that feature. The recording of scripts and the playback of videos are good features. If I have to write the minutes for a call, I'll just take the script output and copy and paste it.

The recording function, the transcript function, the chat function, the live caption function, and the setting up of groups to share documents are useful features of Microsoft Teams.

Sometimes the transcript is a bit literal, it doesn't interpret the voice, and the text that comes out is a bit nonsensical. It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense. It puts rubbish words in them, but just a bit of AI could solve that.

I have been working with Microsoft Teams for four years.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for stability.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for scalability. About 20,000 users use Microsoft Teams in our organization.

Sometimes when we're using it from home, videos can break up a little bit. However, I'm not sure if it's an issue with the solution or if it's people's network connections. Our organization practically had all its staff using the solution throughout the pandemic, and it scaled well then.

I've used Zoom, and we had Skype for Business in some of my other companies, and I'd say that Microsoft Teams is a more complete and rounded product. The other solutions work more or less the same for video conferencing. However, as a product, Microsoft Teams is more complete and has more features than Zoom or Skype.

The initial setup of Microsoft Teams is very straightforward.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

We use the product for chats and VoIP. We also have an Auto attendant feature. We have different departments, teams, and channels, so a lot of files are shared. We just started integrating different applications like Okta. We are using Okta as a plugin and are starting to do automated workflows within it. If we send a message and ask for access to Adobe Acrobat, it'll run a workflow and notify the person in Teams and email.

The product has improved communication in our organization. When I joined the organization, we were using Skype for Business, and there weren't a lot of group chats. Group chats are huge in Teams. I don't remember ever doing that on Skype for Business or any other platform. The product has really improved collaboration with other departments, like our developers and the operations team.

The meeting features are great. It is really easy. The group chats and chat history are valuable features.

The video quality has to be improved. The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The scalability depends on use cases. If we are just using chats, it is very scalable. If we use it like SharePoint or any file-sharing solution to take over old technologies, we get limited, and storage becomes pricey. We have had calls with more than 100 people. It does pretty well. 

If there is an issue, if someone is dropping calls or unable to hear anything, we can see their recent calls and track their network connectivity through the admin center. It usually ends up being the user’s internet issues, not a Microsoft issue. Around 550 users are using Microsoft Teams in our organization.

We have connected with the support team. The team has been helpful. The product has a roadmap of new features and stuff that will be implemented, which we can upvote. I've seen a feature request being turned into an actual feature. They’re very responsive.

Neutral

We were using Skype for Business. Then, we migrated to Microsoft Teams because Skype for Business was retired. It was no longer a viable option.

The initial setup is pretty easy. From the Microsoft 365 admin center, we can ensure it’s on for the organization, ensure it's deployed to users, and check guest access and network connectivity for things to run smoothly. We can see it all in a little dashboard. Now they have a new team, so things are a little different.

The deployment took probably three months. We did it by ourselves. A coworker and I deployed the product in our organization.

I have seen an ROI on the product. Collaboration is through the roof. We use it every single day. Everybody in the company uses it.

The pricing works in bundles. It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user. The license for E5 would be more than $300 because it includes a lot of things. The pricing is high. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten. Once you cross the given threshold, you must pay for storage. It gets a little pricier.

There are multiple places to do the same thing within the Microsoft realm. People working with teams must stick with it. It gets easier, and the features start getting better. It also has third-party plugins, workflows, and notes. There are a lot of interesting things in the product. When I was working for a hedge fund, we used to have a little application on which the traders would chat with each other. Microsoft does everything to about 70%. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Microsoft Teams mainly to communicate with other office users, send messages, and collaborate on files. We’re trying to create a group in Teams to use as a central database for posting files. I also use the calendar to coordinate schedules so everyone knows what’s happening. Teams are also used for video and audio calls and setting up meetings with both internal and external users.

I find the chat and messaging system in Microsoft Teams the most valuable for productivity. We replaced Zoom and other video conferencing tools with Teams for internal and external video calls. Teams is now our standard tool for communication, handling both audio and video conference calls.

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.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for the past three to four years.

Regarding stability, Teams is very stable. It works well both on my mobile phone and desktop application. I’d rate its stability as a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Teams is easy to scale. For many users, it’s scalable, and I’d rate it a nine out of ten for scalability. We have around a hundred to a hundred fifty users in our company.

Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is advantageous because it integrates seamlessly withMicrosoft Office and Microsoft 365, which we already use. It works well with our Microsoft 365 user accounts and email, making it a standard Microsoft product in our software setup.

The old Teams version will expire soon, so we’re downloading the new version to install it properly. Sometimes, it gives an error that we must download an app from the Microsoft Store to continue the installation. Once we update the app, we can continue installing the new Microsoft Teams. For deployment, it takes around five minutes to start using the solution.

For the setup experience, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide.

Microsoft Teams might integrate AI features in the future. I recommend using Microsoft Teams because it’s a popular collaboration tool among companies, especially those using Microsoft products. It is a standard tool for collaboration and communication within and outside the company.

For my overall rating of Microsoft Teams, I’d give it a nine out of ten.

Our usual use cases for Microsoft Teams primarily involve internal meetings among group members, constituting approximately 95 percent of our use. As a globally dispersed team with members in France, Europe, the US, and Australia, we extensively use Teams for virtual meetings, discussions, and chats.

The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity. 

Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools. 

I have been using the product for three to four years. 

I rate the product's stability a four out of ten. We are unable to open the application at times due to bugs. 

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 1100 users. 

I haven't contacted the tech support yet. 

I rate Microsoft Teams' deployment a nine out of ten. You can deploy the product for one user in five minutes. It is part of the Office 365 bundle. One resource is enough to handle the deployment. 

We did the deployment in-house. 

The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. 

To someone considering implementing Microsoft Teams, I would suggest exploring alternative solutions such as Zoom. Teams, while representative of a comprehensive package, particularly in the European context, can be tied to Microsoft's ecosystem and may pose cost challenges. I rate the overall product a six out of ten. 

We use the solution to share documents, collaborate with team members, internal and external meetings, and Teams groups.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature.

Microsoft Teams has eliminated the need to go to the office for meetings. With the solution, there are no boundaries to having meetings. I can be on the other side of the planet and have a meeting. The solution has enabled me to have meetings wherever possible without restriction and also the ability to share documents instantly.

The solution's interface probably needs to be a bit different in terms of cloud sharing. The technical support team’s response time should be faster.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for three to four years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

Microsoft Teams is a scalable solution. More than 1,500 users are using the solution in our organization.

The technical support team's issue resolution time is not great. It takes weeks to resolve an incident.

Neutral

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included.

The file-sharing and collaboration tool in Microsoft Teams is pretty excellent, and we use it daily. We face challenges when certain users report their headsets not working on Microsoft Teams meetings. To overcome that, we request the user to either quit Teams completely or sign out and sign back in so that it recognizes the headset.

I would recommend Microsoft Teams over Zoom or other products. Microsoft Teams is one of the best virtual meeting collaboration tools out there. It's a stable product offered by Microsoft that provides good support.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten.
