Microsoft Teams Reviews

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.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings and other operations, such as raising hands, sharing screens, and sending chat messages.

Ms Teams has improved our efficiency. Travelling to and from physical meetings takes time due to traffic situations. Besides it improves physical safety because we spend less time on the road.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and will creates the meeting placeholder. I'm then able to share it with other people by entering their email addresses in the provisioned location. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need.

If the Ms Teams process is closed, the next time a user attempts to open Teams, it takes a while to load. I'm not 100% certain whether system resources have anything to do with this, but in my experience, when the Ms Teams process is already running, Ms Teams loads quicker. On the other hand, Zoom (and even Google Meet) tend to have a faster loading time.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for approximately three years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution.

I have found Microsoft Teams to be scalable for what I have used it for. I have not tested the solution for more than 10 users at one time.

We have approximately four people using this solution in my organization. We use the solutions approximately every two weeks.

I have never needed to contact the Microsoft Teams Technical Support channel. I have not had any problems with the application.

Positive

I have previously used other solutions, such as Zoom. 

Zoom is a more lightweight solution and is easier to use than Microsoft Teams.

The setup of Microsoft Teams is easy for a technical person like me. But a regular user may have a slight challenge with the process of activating an account on Ms Teams.

The multifactor authentication of Ms Teams can prove to be a challenge for a non-technical person.

I rate the setup of Microsoft Teams a three out of five.

We install Teams in-house.

We are using the free version of the solutions. Zoom gives a time-limit of 40 minutes for more than two attendees and automatically ends the meeting. You'd need to connect back to be able to resume/continue the meeting. The free version of Ms Teams does not seem to have a time limit. At the time I was doing this review, I was on a Teams meeting that had gone beyond 3 hrs 30 mins and it was still going on.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for training and meetings.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is easy to use.

Microsoft Teams could improve the integration with Outlook because most of us are not using the last version of Outlook and it causes some issues.

In the next release of Microsoft Teams, they should make the mobile application easier to manage. Additionally, they should add more features.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for approximately two years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution. However, we have to turn it off and reconnect sometimes.

Microsoft Teams is a scalable solution. We have more than 600 users using this solution, from all levels in my organization. We have no problem with all our users using this solution.

I have not contacted the support from Microsoft. We have our own internal support.

We previously used other solutions, such as Bridge and an internal application. Microsoft Teams is the easiest to use.

The implementation of Microsoft Teams is easy on the laptop but sometimes we are facing some difficulties with the phone.

I rate the initial setup of Microsoft Teams a three out of five.

Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge.

I rate the price of Microsoft Teams a four out of five.

I rate Microsoft Teams a seven 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. 

I primarily use Microsoft Teams as a communication tool for online meetings. Over the past year and a half, I’ve started using it more extensively to access other parts of my information system, such as OneDrive and Calendar. I also use it to invite people to meetings and manage various functions from the menu.

For me, Microsoft Teams' most valuable features are online meetings, calls, and chat. While I also use it to access OneDrive and my calendar, the core functions I rely on are meetings and calls.

One challenge I've encountered with the tool is that it's not as intuitive as it could be. For example, when making invitations or initiating calls, it often takes two or three clicks to get started, which feels less efficient compared to other tools like Zoom. The interface seems to have too much functionality packed into one environment. 

I’d recommend adding shortcuts for frequently used activities to improve it. For example, having quick access to OneDrive or creating fast calls to contacts could save time.

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

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. It is possible to add different teams. 

I contact my internal support and have no experience with the solution's direct support.

I’ve used Zoom regularly, primarily for online meetings and direct calls. I find Zoom to be more intuitive and user-friendly than Microsoft Teams. 

If you’re considering using Microsoft Teams, my advice would be this: If you only need basic functions for online meetings and nothing more for personal use, I would recommend sticking with Zoom’s free version. However, for corporate use or if you already use Microsoft 365 or other Microsoft tools, Microsoft Teams is a better choice due to its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. Other options like Google Meet or Zoom might be more suitable for those not connected to Microsoft tools.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. 

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. 

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.

We use the latest version of Microsoft Teams.

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

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

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.

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

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.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings.

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.

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.

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

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.

I previously used different solutions like Zoom and Google Meet.

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.

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.

I use the solution for conference and collaboration purposes.

The product helps in saving time in meetings and in sharing documents.

Sharing screens is valuable. Sharing documents and conducting conferences are also valuable.

The interface must be more user-friendly.

I have been using the solution for two years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

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

I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The product was easy to set up.

The returns are on the transportation and time consumption we face when we are not using virtual tools like Microsoft Teams.

The more we use and get involved with the product, the more we learn. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
