Microsoft Teams Reviews

I use the product as a communication channel with my colleagues.

The idea of building teams is valuable to me. We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents. It is like an internal SharePoint.

The product should provide a to-do list feature.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The product is stable. We haven’t faced any major outages.

Over 1,000 people use the solution in my organization.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The product has been working well. I have no complaints. I would recommend the solution to others. The solution performs well, and it satisfies all my needs and expectations. I haven't faced any problems with it and have never missed any service or application. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I would say the three most important features are Planner, SharePoint Integration with the file structure, and the Channel functionality. With the channel functionality, we can create and manage people, including external users.

There are two topics I'd like to address regarding Microsoft Teams software. First, it is programmed in Electron, which, in my opinion, makes it sluggish. Improving the performance and reducing high CPU utilization would be a great enhancement. 

Secondly, in terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure. Currently, this can only be done through the browser, and you need to switch accounts to access different windows. Additionally, better support for working with multiple tenants is an ongoing issue.

We've been an early adopter of Microsoft Teams. I've been using it since the platform was developed. So, it's been around 15 years, more or less.

We currently use the latest version.

It is a stable solution. Our entire company operates on this platform, and it has proven to be quite stable. Currently, around 70 end-users are working with Microsoft Teams.

For our scenarios, scalability is quite high. We mainly set up infrastructure for small and medium corporate clients, so we use the public cloud. We have not faced any scalability issues for up to 20 users, which is the maximum size of clients we typically serve. So, for our specialization, there haven't been any scalability concerns.

The initial setup was okay. For me, as a technical guy, it's easy.

Within a day, we are able to configure everything. Then, there is domain setup, which may take a little time to propagate the domain and other settings because we are configuring clients with websites. So, in general, the configuration takes about two days, and the clients are up and running.

We primarily sell the packages we receive from Microsoft to our customers, including email services and other features. From my perspective, the pricing is totally okay.

We also use Slack but primarily we are more of a Microsoft-based company.

We heavily use Microsoft Teams. Moreover, it's interesting that Salesforce acquired Slack. We do use Slack internally for some occasions. But, in general, most of our clients in corporate environments prefer Microsoft Teams. So, we have a clear preference for flexibility with Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is definitely worth adopting. It's a great way to start digitalizing your company and enabling remote work. Without this tool, it's challenging to operate efficiently. There are alternative solutions like Slack, but they are not as compatible with the broader Microsoft ecosystem. With Microsoft Teams, everything integrates seamlessly. You can access files and collaborate through both desktop and mobile applications.

Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten because a few points need improvement. Firstly, the CPU utilization can be quite high during calls, which drains the laptop battery quickly. Secondly, there is some sluggishness and delays that can be frustrating. Lastly, working with multiple tenants can be tedious and should be resolved. 

In my organization, we use Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for collaboration purposes. Microsoft Teams is the best collaboration platform since everything is integrated with the product. Most of the users of Microsoft in our organization are familiar with its technologies, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, making it easy for the end users to use SharePoint and Teams.

SharePoint is not really good for us. Microsoft Teams is integrated with email, and we are also using a team for collaboration because we work in a university where we have to collaborate with the students, making it an okay solution for us.

The room for improvement needed in Microsoft Teams depends on what you are looking for and your uses of the product.

Honestly, I would like not to see any improvements because all these improvements normally I don't use. It takes me only time to adapt to the new improvements in the product, and they don't add too much value for me. I would prefer Microsoft Teams to reduce their frequent updates.

I have experience with Microsoft Teams. I work at the university, and we are just a consultant for some companies.

The product's stability is decent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I don't have any complaints about its stability.

We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

In our workplace, we have 250 employees and 3,000 students who use Microsoft Teams.

We previously had our own solution, but we had a problem with the staff and other people in general, and eventually, it became too expensive for us. It was hard for us to find a system engineer or integrator. We decided to move to the cloud because it was impossible for us to manage such a relatively huge system considering that every year, we had about 600 to 700 students coming in, for whom we had to do the integration processes.

The setup phase of Microsoft Teams was easy.

The setup phase was completed in a couple of minutes because we have a good infrastructure, so we had no problem integrating the product with other solutions.

I am not involved in the deployment since it is covered under the services we get from Microsoft.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I can't speak on the steps involved in the deployment process since my company gets an expert from outside to do the deployment and integration for us.

We have two people, including one developer and one system administrator, for the deployment and maintenance of the solution. We don't really have any problems with the deployment and maintenance because everything is on the cloud.

Our organization used Microsoft's services in the cloud for deployment purposes since it is much cheaper and easier for us than to have our own infrastructure for deployment. In short, we didn't do the deployment in-house.

For my organization, we are okay with the ROI that the product provides.

The government takes care of the licenses with Microsoft and all the other legal stuff since we are a state university. The prices are much lower when the government negotiates with Microsoft rather than when we do it ourselves.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

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

We use Microsoft Teams for internal communication. We mostly use Microsoft Teams to connect with professionals, set reminders, and have video calls and meetings.

Microsoft Teams is a good collaborative platform. If I'm working with different teams, I get an opportunity to create different chat groups and channels within them. It's easy to share information and upload and download files on Microsoft Teams.

The solution's user interface could be improved because it initially looked complex.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for more than three years.

Microsoft Teams has no stability issues.

We are an enterprise business, and our entire organization uses Microsoft Teams.

Zoom was much better than Microsoft Teams for video calling, but the user interface was difficult to collaborate on. I could not create groups on Zoom and have a chat. Even if I could, it's not as easy as Microsoft Teams.

The solution's initial setup is easy.

Usually, this software is available in our software centers. We don't download it from the websites. It doesn't take much time.

Microsoft Teams needs no maintenance. Whenever there is a new version, it gets installed automatically. I never updated the Microsoft Teams software on my system.

Microsoft Teams is a fantastic tool because Microsoft has other applications like Power BI and Microsoft SharePoint. Microsoft is always continuously trying to integrate all these platforms.

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

I use Microsoft Teams for collaboration like chatting, calling, and grouping. 

The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally. 

I have been using the product for three years. 

The tool is stable. 

My company has 150 users for Microsoft Teams. 

Microsoft's support is tricky and hard. 

Neutral

The product's setup is hard. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Compared to other technologies such as the ones from Google, I prefer Microsoft Teams. The tool's user interface is very good. However, I wouldn't recommend this solution for personal use. Companies can use this solution after considering costing factors. You can use the trial or PC version. 

We use the solution for internal communication purposes. 

The solution helps with collaborative communication. You can use it to chat and book calls. You can even set the status as away. It also has a transcript feature integrated. 

The solution needs to integrate ChatGPT so that the solution can summarize the meetings. The solution needs integration with AI. Copilot is already in the pipeline. 

I would rate the product's stability an eight out of ten since at times I need to reconnect the solution. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has 800 users for the solution. 

My vendors use Google Meet and Zoom which have compatibility issues. The system gets confused and asks whether to continue with the browser or go to the app. We have also encountered login issues with the app. I prefer Teams to other apps. 

The solution's setup is easy. You need to put in your registered email ID to configure it. We have deployed it on the cloud, so I have it on my desktop and mobile. 

Our internal IT team did the configuration. 

The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. 

The primary aim was to enable remote work, organize meetings and utilize it as an instant messaging tool across the organization. We have around 2000 users on Microsoft Teams. 

Teams reduced our high traveling costs too as we are conducting training sessions remotely instead of visiting branches. We have a large network of branches across the country and abroad. Teams has strong integration with Office 365 tools which helps with collaborating on documents shared during meetings and conversations with team members in the groups.

Microsoft Teams reduced the significant cost of traveling. We have a large-scale network of branches in the country and abroad too. It became pretty easy to share documents across different teams, groups, and individually. 

Instant chat made people more engaged and reachable at all times. Instead of sending email to colleagues, we can discuss and share documents immediately. 

The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere. 

We regularly organize seminars for distributors, and this channel helped us organize a large audience online.

It offers seamless Microsoft 365 integration. With Teams integration, you can quickly create teams within a group, bring deleted groups back, edit the group email alias, and use sensitivity labels. 

Chat is one of the key features of Microsoft Teams. Whether it’s just with one person or with a group chat allows you to instantly message team members for quick discussions and feedback. 

You’ll have less clutter in your inbox as prompt, quick questions get resolved over Teams chat rather than a potentially long wait for an email reply.

The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365. External user visibility must be available in the next releases of Microsoft Teams. 

User activity logs must be available along with more task management capabilities. 

Microsoft Teams is able to translate slides into multiple languages. It also is able to transcribe audio from multiple languages. It would be beneficial if it could also take the transcription in one language and translate it into another. It may not be great since the source is audio. However, it would be helpful in a situation when professional translation services are not available.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for seven years.

Technical support is awesome.

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution. 

The solution is simple and straightforward.

The vendor team is extremely professional.

This product is quite economical.

We did also evaluate Zoom.

We use the solution to collaborate and share files. 

The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on.

The tool has two versions:  the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web.

The difference is that when using the web version, most of the features and options for external groups are easier to find than the desktop application.

I have been using the solution for a long time. 

Microsoft Teams is more flexible compared to other alternatives. 

The solution's pricing is average. 

My colleagues use Microsoft Copilot. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

I use the solution for meetings. 

We can share all files on Microsoft Teams directly. It is integrated with Outlook. 

We cannot change the mic automatically in Microsoft Teams. We have to do it manually. 

I have been using the product for four years. 

I have not contacted Microsoft regarding any issues with the tool. 

The solution's pricing is average. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution for customer meetings.

It is very easy to set up. The product enables us to create teams for specific projects. We can share information and documents and start collaborating within teams. Setting up meetings is a comfortable experience.

The product doesn’t indicate what kind of audio device is connected during the meetings. I do not know whether the participant in the meeting is on a headset or the speaker. The way we test the audio devices must be improved. The test call we make is too complex and takes long. The tool must just provide an option to play a sound and test whether the output is coming from the speakers or headsets.

I have been using the solution for less than four years.

The tool is quite stable. I have never had any issues with stability.

The tool is scalable.

We use other tools, too. We use what customers prefer. Microsoft Teams provides easy integration with Microsoft Office. It makes collaboration within teams easy. It enables sharing of information, documents, and presentations. The quality of the online meetings with customers and partners is good. The audio setup is the only con in the product.

We started using the solution during COVID-19. In-person meetings enable more interactions and feedback. Online meetings are beneficial when we have to present something to people in different countries, and we cannot afford the time and cost to organize on-site meetings. People who want to use the tool must have it integrated with Outlook. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
