Collaboration has transformed daily work and supports seamless global voice communication
Microsoft Teams could be improved, especially regarding contact center solutions which have a growing need for omnichannel capabilities, integrating with external platforms such as social media and email for a unified experience. Minor improvements might include reintroducing features such as GPU options available in classic Microsoft Teams to address issues in modern Microsoft Teams related to video meetings and content sharing. Furthermore, essential information such as who started or ended recordings should be more accessible in the Microsoft Teams admin center. I rate it a nine because Microsoft Teams occasionally experiences glitches in the client, leading to missing chat history or other transient issues. The performance issues with the desktop client and the support service complexities contribute to my rating being less than perfect. I have not identified any other improvements needed for Microsoft Teams.

This solution works well enough. One can always dream up certain things that may or may not be worth implementing in a piece of software because some other people might have some other better priorities that make more sense. But I would say for what I need it to do, I'm okay. My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful. I am pretty sure that the functionality it has today has more modern methodologies than what I use, but for me, it has been very useful and I have kept using it all of this time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. 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."
"It is an excellent all-around communications tool that works well for business 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."
"I have participated in meetings with up to 500 people during all-team meetings, and it worked without any issues."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the ease of use, and it is very good for a small virtual office for meetings and calendars which sync well together."
"When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform."
"This has improved productivity and communication significantly."
"The solution is simple and present in many devices at one time."
"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
 

Cons

"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."
"One of the issues we have is that sometimes when you're trying to share your screen the solution crashes."
"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times."
"The main issue is that the link goes down when there are internet issues."
"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"I'd like to see better document-sharing capabilities. Sharing multiple documents during a meeting can take time, especially on Mac. On Windows, you can switch shared content on the fly, but on Mac, I often have to stop sharing and then choose another window to share."
"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."
"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The solution is affordable."
"The solution's cost is high."
"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
