Microsoft Teams Reviews

We've got different groups for each course at the university on Teams, so we use it mostly as a communication platform with students and staff. We use the file-sharing function, which is based on SharePoint.

The file-sharing function is connected to the SharePoint platform, we mostly use this, and most of the time, these components are integrated with Office applications like Excel or PowerPoint. 

We don't have the email function in Teams. We use a separate software for that, and unfortunately, we don't have the Calendar function.

Communication within the university has improved. For one, every conversation has its history well organized, making it easier to search for previous conversations or topics. 

Also, the contact list views are useful; everyone from the university is there, and you can easily make a video call. It's easier for students to reach teachers, and communication is faster because you get notifications.

We also use it with the integration of Microsoft applications.

The data IP identification for each message and the ability to organize discussions in separate channels within a team.

Microsoft Teams' video conferencing capabilities are good. The direction is very good, especially since we started using that feature early on. 

The experience has gotten a lot better. In the beginning, it was difficult for a lot of people in a video conference. We couldn't see all the participants or it was difficult to move the screens around. But now, it's much more convenient to use.

It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations.

Sharing presentations is easy, which is particularly convenient for hybrid classes where the teacher has students both on-site and online.

The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice.

We started using Microsoft Teams at the company four years ago.

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. There have been some problems throughout using Teams, but they only affected one or two days at most. 

From my point of view,  the scalability seems very good. We didn't have any problems. It's not the highest level we have from Microsoft services, but even with courses with more than a hundred participants, there are no problems.

There are around a thousand end users in my university. Students come in and they graduate, so that number doesn't change much.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up. 

It is easy to set up. 

The pricing is okay. The higher education department manages the subscription, so I am unaware of the licensing costs. 

I would recommend using different types of Teams for work. You can create several kinds of things for your work, and that's a key or very important point to select the right one for your needs. 

Also, it is good to know about other applications you can integrate with it because that can also increase productivity.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Teams is a tool I think everybody is using today. It is used for the team's day-to-day operations.

The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement. We work remotely, and each team member occasionally has problems with not having sufficient network speed, even if we have sufficient network speed. The tool is pretty sensitive, and it wants to have a very fast network connection. When network speed is still okay but not sufficient for Microsoft Teams, then you start losing out on video quality, and then the video keeps hanging. You have to switch off the video and continue only with audio. In Microsoft Teams, even audio lags at times. For example, in a typical situation, when you try to have a conversation from the train, you won't have the best internet connection, but you can still watch some movies on YouTube, which means it should be sufficient, but for Microsoft Teams, it is not good. If it would be possible to somehow optimize network traffic, then it would be good.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for around five years.

I have not seen many technical issues with the product.

The solution's scalability works well.

I have not used any technical support for the solution.

Currently, in my company, we work with OpenShift.The plan is to move to some cloud infrastructure, and that is why I wanted to compare it with AWS, Azure, and Oracle's cloud services.

We used Skype's business edition for all messages, and then we switched to Microsoft Teams for all kinds of messages, conversations, and video conferences. It is used for all ranges of communication.

Microsoft Teams is more handy than Skype's business edition. We are all used to it, so it is a better option for us.

For development, it does not have much influence. Microsoft Teams, I would say, is for communication purposes, not for development. Yeah. Microsoft used to joke that Teams is for development.

Microsoft Teams offers a standard integration with Outlook, so there is nothing special.

Considering that Skype also offers integration capabilities to users, such functionalities are not new to Microsoft Teams. The integrations associated with Microsoft Teams work well, and they are helpful in areas like meetings and other scheduling work.

I don't use AI in Microsoft Teams. I don't need AI to talk to colleagues.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The tool is available on cell phones. It can be used in calls and meetings. 

The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation. 

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

Microsoft Teams' stability is good. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The solution is scalable. Our team is spread across the globe, and our company has more than 5,000 users in Mexico. 

I haven't contacted Microsoft support. I seek support from my IT team.

We set up Microsoft Teams in a couple of days. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

Our primary use case for Microsoft Teams is facilitating collaboration among internal company teams and external users. Teams integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 products, such as Outlook for calendar management and Cobweb for additional functionalities.

Teams have significantly improved communication within our organization by providing a simple platform. As part of the Microsoft Office suite, it facilitates the transition of some users to Azure Active Directory, streamlining access and permissions across our organization.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams for us is the ability to share files from OneDrive seamlessly. This integration with the cloud and simplicity of usage prove beneficial.

One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization. Currently, Microsoft Teams consumes a significant amount of memory when in use, which can pose challenges for users with limited memory resources on their computers.

We have been using Microsoft Teams for 3 years.

Sometimes, the platform automatically closes during working hours. This particular area needs improvement. I rate the stability as seven out of ten.

We have 500 Microsoft Teams users in our organization. It is a scalable product. I rate the scalability an eight.

The initial setup is easy. It takes a month to complete. I rate the process a nine out of ten.

For setup costs, pricing, and licensing, I advise considering the flexibility offered by site licenses. However, it's important to be aware of potential fluctuations in pricing, as they can vary depending on factors like stability in the economic environment and national payment regulations. In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements. As for specific licensing options, we utilize various types, including the one-license and five-license options. The one-license option costs approximately $10 per user per month, while the five-license option averages around $35.

We have integrated Teams as a communication channel for alert synchronization from your monitoring system, Grafana, and other tools.

We regularly use video meetings for various purposes, including IT meetings and client discussions, and find the quality excellent. We have not encountered any significant technical issues with video conferencing itself. However, there have been occasional issues related to second-factor authentication, where users may experience delays or difficulties accessing calls or messages. These issues typically require closing and reopening the program.

I recommend this product for small organizations because it offers an all-in-one solution. I rate it an eight out of ten.

My company provides Teams for us. We just use it for internal communication.

All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes.

Video calling is already there, so that's not an issue. The only thing that can be improved is that when you are talking one on one, there is no recording facility. Maybe it's the company that stopped it. If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session. In short, we are not able to record one on one calls.

I have experience with Microsoft Teams. 

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

My company has more than 10,000 employees, and all are using Microsoft Teams. Most of the users are engineers.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

My company plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Teams in the future.

I never faced any challenges with the solution in the last two and half years.

I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

I have previously used Yammer, WhatsApp, and Twitter for internal communication. Also, we still use Yammer for its capabilities. It's not too official. It's official to the extent of sharing your ideas, like LinkedIn, which you have for the outside world, but the ones I mentioned earlier are for the inside world, so you can choose to broadcast something you want.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud.

I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

It is very easy to use. A lot of features are there in the solution, which will be useful for daily communication with the team members who are located in other cities. It is pretty user-friendly.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the software for corporate-level communication such as messaging and texting. 

I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team. 

The product should improve its security aspect, scalability, stability, and screen recording. It would be nice if Teams could come up with a feature where I can write chats and send them as mail. It would be also good if Teams could be connected to our application software so that for any doubts that can occur during the training, the operator can resolve them through chats. Hence, they can easily guide and close the issue. 

I have been using the product since 2021. 

I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten. 

I would rate the product's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 250 users for the solution. We use the solution 24/7 for daily meetings. 

The solution's technical support is very good. 

Positive

I would rate the solution's setup a nine out of ten since it is easy to sign up. The product's deployment took a month to complete. For the solution's installation, you need to validate. We used a team of 15 members to deploy the product. The solution does not require any maintenance. 

We did the product's deployment in-house. 

The product is worth its money. 

The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the product a nine 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.

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.
