A solution that has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording."
  • "Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for normal SharePoint activity. We have offices in the US and some in India, and we do our regular team meetings on Microsoft Teams.

What is most valuable?

All basic features of Microsoft Teams are good enough. The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording. We can set up the Microsoft Team's settings within seconds, and connectivity is also good. We can connect with anybody, including our customers.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased. The voice quality sometimes is not good, but it could be because of internet issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for about a year or so.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It could be because of internet issues, but the screen often freezes off. We have Microsoft Teams meetings at least thrice a week. Throughout some 10 to 20 meetings, the screen freezes off one or two times. Subsequently, leaving the meeting and coming back takes time.

I rate Microsoft Teams between eight and nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution's scalability is good enough for us. We have never faced any issues with the solution's scalability. We use Microsoft Teams about three to four times a week. We use it every alternate day for about half an hour, two hours, or one and a half hours. We have never faced any issues, and even if it's a continuous three hours meeting, there's no stoppage in the service. Currently, 15 users are using Microsoft Teams in our organization, and we may scale up to about 30 to 35 users after some time.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We use SharePoint from Microsoft. Earlier, we used to use Google Meet. Although Google Meet was free, it had a time limit of 45 minutes. We used to use another product from an Indian-based company with its own data center. It is a free VC software, but we stopped using it because of some teething issues.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is quite okay and very user-friendly.

What about the implementation team?

We are IT and system integrators ourselves. Although we're a small company, our organization has a technical team who does the deployment. We didn't have to take any assistance from outside.

My technical team remotely deployed Microsoft Teams. From a user perspective, if I had to connect or have a Microsoft Teams meeting with any of my vendors, customers, or internally, I know how to do it, and it's quite simple.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions. We bought the entire suite of products, including Office, Outlook, and Teams.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams is deployed on-cloud in our organization. Microsoft Teams is an expensive product. Since we are a micro and small mid sized company, we have to pay more cost. Big banks and big enterprise customers pay half the price of what we pay because their number of users is more. If the company is very big, the solution's cost reduces substantially.

Microsoft Teams is a very standard platform. Many of our customers are using Microsoft. Google is also quite good, and Google is much easier to use and user-friendly than Microsoft Teams.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams an eight or 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.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

I would like to get less frequent updates from the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for many years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around 3,50,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Microsoft Teams is a better video conferencing tool than Skype.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams has good features that users require. We can connect with Microsoft Teams from anywhere in the world. Even if you don't have a phone, you can connect with Microsoft Teams. You only require an internet connection.

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

Helps creating virtulized environment and effective communication within the workplace
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."
  • "We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case for Microsoft Teams within our organization spans across various verticals in our organization. As part of the MDR team, collaboration involves working with technical support, quick response teams, IT professionals, and HR. 

What needs improvement?

We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product. These disruptions, affecting various Microsoft products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams, might have been attributed to server issues on Microsoft's end.

There could be a feature allowing users to respond to specific messages or comments within a group chat. They could support GIFs and emojis similar to the features available in Slack. Currently, Teams has limitations in its built-in applications has some limitations. There could be an option to gather and customize the emojis and GIFs from the internet.

For how long have I used the solution?

We use the latest version of Microsoft Teams.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The platform is stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 5000 Microsoft Teams users in our organization. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my previous organization, the collaboration tools evolved from Skype to Lync, and eventually, Microsoft Teams was introduced. I have experience using Lync for approximately a year before the transition to Teams. In my current role, I have primarily used Microsoft Teams and Slack in their respective capabilities within the workplace.

How was the initial setup?

We have a team of 100 executives for the product’s maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

The "Together Mode" feature in Microsoft Teams has been particularly valuable for our team's productivity and overall collaboration. This feature is especially beneficial during group video calls, as it creates a virtual environment where team members appear together in a shared space. This has proven useful for capturing group photos and fostering a sense of connection, especially in a remote work environment. Additionally, during virtual celebrations and events, the ability to click pictures seamlessly in Teams adds a fun and engaging element, enhancing the overall team experience. The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings.

I recommend it to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

Should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes, though it has good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."
  • "The solution should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings.

What is most valuable?

The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users.

What needs improvement?

The solution should include features like scripting, meeting summarization, and automated notes.

The solution should include a very simple way of capturing transcription without necessarily taking a full recording or any AI product that allows you to note what is going on in the meeting automatically. This would help you have personal notes about the meeting summary that would help you prepare minutes and actions to share with the participants.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution a five out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We use the solution daily in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for scalability.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used different solutions like Zoom and Google Meet.

How was the initial setup?

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a two out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams is deployed on the cloud in our organization. We use Microsoft Teams as a stand-alone solution in our organization. Microsoft is not very good at keeping your identity separate. Microsoft does all sorts of things to tie you in rather than just allow you to use non-Microsoft tools, which makes it difficult. I would not recommend the solution to other users.

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A scalable and stable tool for online meetings that need to improve its sharing capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
  • "I think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for all kinds of online meetings, cards, chats, and everything.

What is most valuable?

Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use. It is also hugely connected and stable.

What needs improvement?

I think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple. You need to have it separately. Also, sharing is something in the solution that becomes quite complicated sometimes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams. It's a great solution. From the time COVID started, my company has been using Microsoft Teams. We started using it somewhere around 2018 or 2019. I am just a user of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't seen any stability issues in the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Microsoft Teams is very easy to scale. In my company, we have around 40,000 to 50,000 users of the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I don't know about Microsoft's support because we don't see all that since we have our own in-house teams.

What about the implementation team?

I had Microsoft Teams installed by the IT department.

What other advice do I have?

I wouldn't have any advice to offer because I don't know other solutions very well. I am like a fish in a pond that has never seen anything beyond the pond. Since I am satisfied with the solution, I would recommend it to others.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

The solution helps our organization with faster communication.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable features are meeting, calling, and activity feed.

A flexible solution that provides screen sharing and chat retention
Pros and Cons
  • "Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
  • "Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory."

What is our primary use case?

I use Microsoft Teams for remote communication with other members of my team.

What is most valuable?

Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams.

What needs improvement?

Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Microsoft Teams is a pretty scalable solution. I rate Microsoft Teams a nine out of ten for scalability.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is pretty easy. I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its ease of initial setup.

What about the implementation team?

The solution's deployment takes about an hour.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine. I rate Microsoft Teams a three out of ten for pricing.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Microsoft Teams is definitely better than Google Meet because Google Meet doesn't retain chat history after the sessions, which is not very good. Zoom is frustrating because the account management is all hosted by a third party. Zoom works, but you're constrained. Microsoft Teams is a little bit more flexible.

The advice I would give to people looking into using Microsoft Teams is that it is not linked directly to Active Directory. Even though it's called Microsoft, it's still a third-party plug-in. You have to be aware that Outlook Web Access needs to be enabled in order to use calendars and scheduling with people who aren't in your organization.

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

A good solution for meetings, collaborations, and file sharing, but extracting the older version of a file takes time
Pros and Cons
  • "You can ping, chat, and call someone, and at the same time, on the next tab, you can see all the documents related to what someone is referring to."
  • "Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings, collaborations, and file sharing.

How has it helped my organization?

Previously, we used to share files in SharePoint, and then someone had to pull it out, make changes, and upload it back. We used to miss those changes, and it remained on its local laptops. The best thing is that anyone can make changes to the files on Microsoft Teams. It auto-saves whatever we have done, and we can see the version within Microsoft Teams.

The basic need for any project is mostly team-specific content. Right now, if I open up my teams, I can see I have 10 to 12 different projects going on parallelly. I can easily go to Microsoft Teams and then find out what is happening where. Even though someone told me that I made some changes, I can go to Microsoft Teams and find out what changes are there. The solution helps us save time by not making us wait for someone to send an email or upload to SharePoint.

What is most valuable?

Microsoft Teams has not just one but multiple valuable features. It is very easy to collaborate. You can ping, chat, and call someone, and at the same time, on the next tab, you can see all the documents related to what someone is referring to. You can do these two things in the same place without switching windows. These two things make things faster in Microsoft Teams.

What needs improvement?

I have to do multiple tricks before I can find out the history of a given file. Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes. These are the two things that I was a little bit uncomfortable with, and it took some time for me to do them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for many years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I don't use Microsoft Teams very much, but I have never faced stability issues with the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Thousands of people are using Microsoft Teams in our organization. I have had approximately 10 to 20 people in one Microsoft Teams call.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams is a nice product, and we have been using it for some time. It's integrated with SharePoint for content management. You can have multiple repositories simultaneously and use the versioning from Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is making our life much easier as compared to sharing and uploading into a SharePoint folder. If you want to edit documents, you can open them in Microsoft Teams apps instead of a browser.

Zoom is just a portal to connect, chat, and conduct meetings. However, Microsoft Teams provides much more flexibility with additional functionalities for your files, product tracking, and issue tracking. Zoom doesn't have all these additional features. Microsoft Teams also gives me easy access to my calendar in case I integrate it with my Outlook, and I can see everything in the solution.

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

A seamless tool that improves internal collaboration and meetings
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well."
  • "The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product for internal and client meetings. 

How has it helped my organization?

The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well.

What is most valuable?

The solution has a plugin app called Whiteboard which is useful. I am also impressed with the product's projecting on screen, audio and the video. 

What needs improvement?

The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product since the start of the lockdown in March 2022. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. I have faced issues due to network connectivity. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the product's scalability a nine-point five out of ten. The whole world uses Office and it's an extension of it. My company has around 200 users for the product. Since we are a law firm, users are mostly non-technical persons. We use the solution daily. 

How are customer service and support?

I have been never required to contact the technical support at Microsoft since the functionality is basic. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have used VC software but switched to Teams because its easier to understand. 

How was the initial setup?

The tool's installation is easy and it is installed on our laptops. The solution's deployment was fast and we deployed it throughout the organization within two to three days. One technical person from our Delhi office helped us with the product's installation. I think that one person would be enough to handle the installation in an office of 60 people. 

What about the implementation team?

The product's installation was done in-house. The IT team helped us with that. They took our laptops and helped us to install them.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have a subscription to Zoom. Zoom is more suited for conferences and seminars or when you have a large number who are attending the meeting. Teams is useful when you have a small gathering and want to have focused conversations with either your clients or internally. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product a nine-point five out of ten because of the ease of use. The solution is integrated with Office 365's Calendar. You can open Outlook and access it from there which makes it very seamless. The solution is a great software and I recommend it highly. The main reason that Teams have an edge is that, in most offices, there is limited accessibility to Gmail and hence problems with Google Meet. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

How was the initial setup?
