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 it for all communication between product development, product management, technical support, field teams, and other stakeholders. It is our primary vehicle for all communications. We have used it extensively to share content, such as spreadsheets, docs, PowerPoints, and other product related materials, for R&D and internal teams (e.g., the technical and field teams) as well as customer-facing documentation. With the recent COVID-19 forcing all our team members to work remotely, this solution has been an invaluable resource where we can easily set up virtual meetings (with or without video conferencing). 

We utilize the chat (with and without video calling) quite a bit as well as the ability to create content and store it. It is easy to share and collaborate, including built-in, edit-in-place, autosave features, without having to download, edit, save, or upload. We take advantage of the Wiki pages to schedule meetings through the calendar, which all but eliminates the need to use Outlook calendar. Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors. It works as we work and is fairly flexible when configuring things that are team/program specific. 

If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool. I'm not a developer, but if Teams could be integrated with VS or Eclipse to easily share information in a chat panel, such as a task you are working on, roadblocks you may have run into, or if you need approval for something. 

This is not critical. It would be a nice feature to be able to have your own background, use a collage (if desired) when doing video calls, or use an animated emoji in place of your video during live chats (as a way to add more personal flavor to your personality).  

More than one year.

It is very stable when compared to Fuze and Skype for Business.

So far, it scales well.

Not applicable at this stage.

Yes, we have previously use Fuze as well as Rocket.Chat and Skype for Business. Fuze was unreliable. Skype for Business and Rocket.Chat lacked too many features.

As a large organization, we have used our fair share of tools, such as Skype for Business (S4B), Rocket.Chat, and most recently Fuze. Rocket.Chat is limited to chat only. Although you can share/attach docs, screenshots, and such, there isn't an easy way to organize the collection of data. If your team likes the ability to use a Wiki tool, there is nothing inherently built into Rocket.Chat for this. S4B is limited to video, chatting, and screen shares, lIke Rocket.Chat, for what it does, though it does it fairly well. However, as a tool for collaboration and communication with a team (large and small), S4B is too limited. Fuze, by far, is the worst tool. It was far too unreliable with calls (with or without video). Teams is a blend of Rocket.Chat, S4B, and a "working" version of Fuze.

Straightforward.

Vendor team.

Someone else handles it. I would estimate it has saved an average of at least one hour per day (for myself) as Fuze crashed too often, then I ended up reverting back to Skype for Business or GoToMeeting. 

Only Teams.

Mostly, how to use it and best practices (real world compared to what we are using today).

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

I used Microsoft Teams for work, and I like the usability of the solution here in Brazil. A lot of my colleagues always complain about Microsoft Teams, saying that the solution wastes a lot of machine capability, but I don't have a problem with that. Microsoft Teams works just fine with Outlook, and I have no problem using the solution. I like how sharing the screen or specific windows with Microsoft Teams is easy. I have no problem with the stability of the solution.

We have an open team; other organizations can find and talk to us on Microsoft Teams. We don't have to talk about work using other solutions like WhatsApp. We choose WhatsApp because it's easier for us. However, when I want to speak about something more confidential, I do it on Microsoft Teams. Whenever I talk to a partner, we talk on Microsoft Teams, as our platforms are open to each other. I utilize Microsoft Teams to discuss confidential matters.

What I use the most is the plugin or the optimization feature. When I want to create a meeting on Outlook, I can automatically share the Microsoft Teams link.

Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time.
