What is most valuable?

Microsoft Teams has an option for you to create files. The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is quite a stable solution. I rate Microsoft Teams a seven out of ten for stability.

Zoom doesn't give you a lot of scalability options and has fewer features than Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams allows you to collaborate, and it's very easy to set up things with Teams.

I would suggest people looking into using Microsoft Teams to explore all the features of Microsoft Teams and be curious about it.

The solution can be used for internal and external meetings in small organizations
Pros and Cons
  • "Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is a very good solution and works well."
  • "The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for internal and external meetings.

What is most valuable?

Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is a very good solution and works well. The issues which were there earlier are much better now.

What needs improvement?

The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products. Some more advanced switches can be introduced in the solution to make the recording more usable or editable.

Microsoft should make available some option with the product to cut a part of a meeting video at a specific time instead of using the entire video. An option should be made available to trim the video and convert it into a different kind of extension like MP4 OR MP3, which we can use in the website recording or keep for future reference.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Teams for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution. However, sometimes we face issues because the user's status doesn't update properly, which causes some syncing problems. Sometimes the user's status doesn't update very quickly, and it shows a user's status as offline when the user is online.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Microsoft Teams is a scalable solution, and more than 300 to 400 users use the solution in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support depends upon the call volume. Mostly, it's good, but sometimes you may face issues with the technical support's response time.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

What about the implementation team?

Installing Microsoft Teams for our entire office takes five to ten minutes. The solution does not require any special maintenance.

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

Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive. In addition to the subscription cost, if you want to buy some additional service, you must pay for it. Options are available for adding, removing, and scaling the license based on our requirements.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Teams is installed on-cloud in our organization.

Microsoft Teams is a good solution. It is a good solution for someone with a basic need and not a very high-end need for HD video. The solution is good for a conference of around thirty to forty people. However, the solution is still not scalable for bigger organizations with a huge number of users. Microsoft Teams is an ideal solution for smaller organizations and smaller meetings.

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

A well-rounded tool for internal communication with real-time file sharing capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams."
  • "Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Teams for collaboration and internal communication in our organization. We also used it for online meetings and virtual webinars during COVID.

How has it helped my organization?

Its ability to streamline communications has helped. Teams can do chat, voice, and video calls as well. Sometimes, we require a lot of communication by email, and Microsoft Teams can also be used for that.

What is most valuable?

It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams. We can have online meetings embedded with security to protect all our communication and conversations.

What needs improvement?

Since large organizations use Teams, it requires a stable bandwidth and hardware performance when we start the application. Moreover, it needs a stable bandwidth when we open the application on the phone, as we cannot communicate with Avaya properly. Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones.

Microsoft Teams requires web-friendly sign-up for calls.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Mircosoft Teams since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Microsoft Teams is stable as long as the connection is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are 160 users in our organization using Teams. We have hosted live events, and we have gotten more than 1,000 participants to join.

How are customer service and support?

We raised an issue last year where the team could not use Microsoft Teams. We opened a ticket with the support team. They responded and informed us they had a backend system problem. After that, it took a few hours, and it worked fine.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

Microsoft Teams is easy to set up, and there are no complexities. If you are using Office 365, you can download and install it. It automatically integrates with your account, so it has no problem. You can log into your account and download and install it on your own.

The solution is not difficult to maintain.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We tried Zoom as a guest but not the host. Webex is good because it is a Cisco product, and they have a team to support it from every angle. Both are better in terms of support, but I use Microsoft more than Webex.

What other advice do I have?

Webex and Zoom are better in terms of support, which we have only ever experienced when our customers face problems, and we have to contact support on their behalf.

I recommend Microsoft Teams, though, and I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud
