Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that I can attach files in any format.""The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature.""I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch.""The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students.""The initial setup was really straightforward and easy.""Microsoft Teams is an easy-to-use solution.""The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."

More Microsoft Teams Pros →

"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not.""It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."

Cons
"Inability to call into meetings.""With respect to security, there needs to be more work done. I was surprised, for example, yesterday, when my daughter was able to use my Microsoft Teams interface for her schoolwork. I was surprised that they could do that, because I believe it was only for my own personal use.""The solution's login process could be more straightforward.""The desktop and mobile apps are quite different.""The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved.""I think they can improve the all those segments for channel bulking. Also, some functionalities which migrated from Skype for Business to Teams, is not supported by Teams. We had used them in Skype for Business.""It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped.""The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."

More Microsoft Teams Cons →

"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available.""There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release.""I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended.""MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""It could improve the quality of calls.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
