"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It works, it's reliable."

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."

"Microsoft Teams is a scalable tool because it integrates with many other tools and different kinds of apps."
"In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."

"I would like to receive fewer updates from Microsoft Teams."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
