Microsoft Teams Reviews

My team members are distributed in various locations. We use the solution for our day-to-day meetings and communication. 

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.

When we work on certain documents, we put them in the group chat and collaborate on them. It's really easy to collaborate that way. Another great feature is the ability to reply to specific messages in the chat, which is cool. Also, tagging people while chatting is very useful.

We use a tool called Darwinbox for project management and another tool called Advantage Club, a rewards platform where you can reward your colleagues with points they can redeem. These are the integrations that we have included in the solution. I think the Darwinbox integration is smooth and good. For example, if someone receives a reward, it immediately shows up on Microsoft Teams.

One thing that could be improved is the auto-correction feature. When we type, we often send messages with spelling errors. While there is an edit feature to correct these mistakes, I think spelling-checking capabilities could still be improved.

Another capability I'd like to see is an AI-based feature where we can query past chats for summaries. For example, asking for a meeting summary from the chat history would be great instead of manually going through all the messages.

I have been using the product for three years. 

We have experienced some glitches at times. I rate its stability an eight out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. We use Zoom for big crowds. However, the tool can accommodate 50 users. My company has more than 500 users who use it daily. We plan to add more users as the company grows. 

I haven't contacted the tool's support yet. 

I used Google Meet before Microsoft Teams. I switched to Microsoft Teams when I changed jobs. 

I rate Microsoft Teams' deployment ease a nine out of ten. The deployment process is straightforward and doesn't take much time. 

Our IT team deployed the solution. 

The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. It's a great tool for your business if your team is distributed. 

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.

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.

I use the solution for various tasks, such as storing data, making calls with my team, and managing operational calls.

Microsoft Teams' features that I find most valuable include the presentation feature, project planning tools, and the integration of OneNote. All the data we discuss during our meetings is loaded into the whiteboards and collectively stored in the same Microsoft Teams channel. This includes recordings and other relevant information. This is particularly helpful for those who may have missed a Teams meeting; they can easily catch up by accessing the channel and listening to the recording. It allows them to navigate through all the details and review stored notes. 

The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone. 

Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario.

The product also crashes at times. It needs to improve its stability. 

I have been using the product for more than six years. 

I rate Microsoft Teams' stability a seven out of ten. 

I rate Microsoft Teams' scalability an eight out of ten. It has more than 10,000 users in my company who use it daily. 

The tool's responses are not always as timely as I would like them to be. I believe there is room for enhancement in their support services. 

Neutral

I rate the tool's deployment a nine out of ten. For our deployment process, we typically push through the images. The images are taken in the environment and not separately stored on other devices. Once accepted, these images are stored on every device, and then we must configure the login. You need two resources to handle the deployment. 

The tool's deployment was done in-house. 

I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

I contacted, coordinated, and integrated project teams regarding assignments and follow-up actions instead of using email, weighing the pros and cons.

We can view Microsoft Teams as a cloud-based project platform for sharing files, assigning tasks, designating assignees, sharing real-time information, and collecting project tasks. It provides each teammate with their own cloud storage space to store data, and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and facilitates the exchange of group knowledge within the workspace.

For project planning and monitoring purposes, Microsoft Teams replaces traditional conferences, phone calls, and weekly reviews. Additionally, for seamless integration with Office 365, Teams works seamlessly with other Microsoft Office 365 applications such as Word, Excel, and SharePoint. This makes it easy to consistently create, edit, and share documents, streamlining revisions.

The tracking status and communication are no longer restricted to conference rooms or limited areas. In a mobile working environment, flexibility and ease of access are essential to facilitate progress and collaboration. MS Teams offers features for hosting virtual meetings, webinars, and live events, which is especially valuable for remote or distributed project teams and training events. Most importantly, configure notifications to stay informed about project updates, mentions, or changes in channels. These features replace email for points of contact and maintain records instantly.

Project teams may notice last-minute information updates and keep track of actions using the same project document and its revisions. In the field of technology, several progress updates may be necessary to achieve a status report. 

Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform. The integration for team collaboration can expedite decision-making and enhance alignment towards the same project goal among the right people, at the right place, and at the right time.

Microsoft Teams can help overcome potential barriers and delays in achieving project objectives, marking the era of instant messaging demands.

The weekly project status update has transitioned into instant reporting. We now have two communication channels: online broadcasting and recording for those who are absent. Advanced instant messaging has expanded its capabilities to connect people worldwide and truly reflects the forward movement of technology. 

The future scalability can include the integration of planners, project management tools, SharePoint, and more applications that are used. This capability is determined by its impact on project planning, questionnaires, surveys, and to-do lists

I have had four years of experience with the product.

We use the solution to build multiple departmental teams where we can store files and collaborate for work. In addition, we use it to schedule meetings. It helps us segregate the data into one place for our team members to access.

The solution provides a collaborative space to store and work on the same set of documents. It helps us by making production faster.

The solution's most valuable feature is the quick availability of technical resources.

The solution's security feature needs enhancement for external collaborations with business partners and vendors.

We have been using the solution for eight years.

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. We occasionally encounter errors, but its support team resolves them quickly.

The solution is a great tool. I advise others to use it if they have a hybrid or cloud-based infrastructure. In this case, it provides faster integration and management of workload.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

I used Microsoft Teams for virtual meetings, primarily as a basic user, not as an infrastructure provider.

The valuable features of Microsoft Teams include the ability to meet people online, exchange files, and share screens. All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective. It integrates well with documents stored in Microsoft's repository.

Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings. During my usage, there were no AI features available.

I have used Microsoft Teams as a user but not within my network business in the last year. The usage was for meetings involving a partner's team, not my own.

Microsoft Teams is a stable product. It works fine with no problems during meetings. We also recorded all the meetings without any issues.

I am sure Microsoft Teams is scalable, however, in my experience, I have not conducted meetings with more than eight participants.

I have used both Microsoft Teams and Zoom. For my usage, both platforms were identical in functionality, providing features such as sharing screens, doing chats, and reviewing documents.

The initial setup of Microsoft Teams was easy. It involved downloading the necessary software for the client side, and it ran smoothly.

I would recommend Microsoft Teams to other people, especially if they are a company using a lot of these features. Microsoft Teams integrates well with Microsoft documents. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Teams provides everything that users need, including the cameras and attachments. With the help of Teams, you can manage your data transfer into the environment.

Almost 70% of the world currently uses Microsoft Teams because it is easy to use.
