Microsoft Teams Reviews

We use this solution both for our internal team as well as with our customers and suppliers who participate in some meetings. We are a corporate partner of Microsoft and have an integrated package with all the licenses from Microsoft. It includes the majority of products such as Office 365, SharePoint, and Azure. I'm the senior project manager, IT services.

This is a collaboration tool so in the current situation, the most important thing for us is to be able to continue to run our business in a collaborative manner. Given that nobody is working from the office and there's no way to meet formally to discuss key challenges and discuss work updates, moving to this solution was a good option. Since we started using it, our productivity has increased and we are very coordinated with each team member. 

I think the video calling and the calling facility are valuable features as well as the ability to create multiple channels and tools so that you can record your information. It's a good solution.

One of the issues we have is that sometimes when you're trying to share your screen the solution crashes. The problem occurs quite frequently and it's an issue across multiple users. It's been reported to technical support but there seems to be some bug there. That should really be improved. I haven't experienced any other difficulties. 

I'd like to have the ability to increase the number of participants in a meeting as an additional feature. For now, you can only see a maximum of nine people in a single screen. I believe that Zoom enables the ability to see 20 plus people during video conferencing. I'd also like to see a screen sharing option which would include sharing of videos. 

I've been using this solution for a year. 

It's a stable solution, the only challenge being the screen sharing portion and that the solution sometimes crashes when you share your screen. It's hard to say whether this is a Teams problem or our problem. 

I think the system is quite scalable. 

I think Microsoft technical support is on point. It's good because I was involved in one of the technical issues we were having and they provided us with good support. 

The initial setup was very easy. It's deployed on cloud and you just need to set up your organization based on the kind of access you want to give the user. It's very easy to configure. It's not so complicated that you need specialized resources to maintain the administration part of Microsoft Teams.

My recommendation is that if you look into the majority of the end users who are using laptops or desktop computers, we're predominantly using the Microsoft operating system and the Microsoft Office network. I think it's better to have one common system which is an integrated solution. It makes it much easier for anyone to get the benefit of this solution. 

I would like to see some improvements in this solution but I would still rate it a nine out of 10.

The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform. We use it extensively for online meetings, chat, creating specific team related sites, and sharing content between the team members.

The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate.

Web conferencing needs improvements.

The biggest issue is web content.

We would like to have a caller's telephone number easily available to the team members.

We have been using Microsoft Teams for three to four months.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams for meetings. Since the pandemic, most of my clients don't physically go to offices, and we do most of our meetings through Microsoft Teams.

Using the solution's screen-sharing feature, we can go through a document together and take control.

The solution’s stability could be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for the past two years.

Microsoft Teams is a stable solution. I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for stability.

Microsoft Teams is a scalable solution. Around 5 users are using the solution in our organization. The solution is used a few times a week in our company.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The solution’s deployment took a few minutes.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Teams in our company to communicate with teammates and schedule meetings.

Compared to other solutions like Skype, Microsoft Teams is a good tool for communicating with teammates.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are scheduling a meeting and integration with other Microsoft services like SharePoint and OneDrive.

The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for one year.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for stability.

I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

I am using the latest version of Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Microsoft Teams is the best tool for team communication.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten.

The primary use case is for meetings, especially since everyone is working from home now.

The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions.

It has a chatting feature, document sharing, and features that are required for online meetings.

Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have.

I have only recently started using Microsoft Teams. It's been more than a month.

We are using the latest version.

This is a stable solution.

I have not contacted technical support, as I have not had any issues.

We were using Zoom but there were some issues, then we started using Microsoft Teams. We were also using previously using Webex as well as Skype. In total, there are many different products that I have used.

The initial setup is easy to work through.

We use several Microsoft products.

It's a good product that can handle multiple people. My impression of Microsoft Teams is very good.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for communication within our function teams. We use it for project organization, etc.

The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature.

We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement.

The solution could be better integrated with SharePoint and have better workflows especially for writing drafts for review and release. 

The solution is largely stable, but we do face issues around synchronization between different devices.

The scalability is good. It's not a problem to put more users onto the solution. We do plan to increase usage, but we'll take some time before doing so.

We previously used Skype occasionally for team communication.

The initial setup was easy. The company-wide deployment took several months.

We had an internal team handle the implementation.

I'd recommend the solution.

I'd rate the solution 7.5 out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for office meetings.

The solution is perfect for meeting purposes, which is how we mainly use it.  

The product has the capability to allow me to do recordings of any session which is very helpful. When the meetings are happening, I'm also able to text with people as a secondary form of communication. 

 I can use the calendar aspect with it to track my day and to know what I'm going to do. 

For collaboration purposes, it's been very, very handy to use, and it's great for chat purposes. It's nice to not always have to pick up the phone when you can just chat via teams instead.

You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily.

There's definitely room for improvement. 

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.

In order to avoid others using it, it needs a password of its own. I don't know how to do that. Maybe Microsoft can make it so that there is a provision for multi-users on a particular system.

I've heard that hackers are beginning to jump on meetings like they were on Zoom previously. This needs to be addressed immediately.

I've been using the solution for the past two to three years at this point.

The solution is very stable. It doesn't have any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's great.

I've never tried to scale it personally, however, I do believe it would be possible to do so.

Microsoft's technical support for Teams is fantastic. We're quite satisfied with its level of service. They are very responsive and knowledgeable.

Our organization may have previously used WebEx. I believe we also used Skype occasionally.

I use a few different solutions right now. I use Zoom practically every day, even with my kids at home. I use Microsoft Teams for office meetings practically every day. I'll be joining a session very soon, and I'll be using Cisco Webex for that. It varies as to which I use. I'm not exclusively on Teams.

We're a customer of the solution. We aren't a reseller.

We have the solution in house, so we have an Azure engineer in-house.

I'd recommend the solution; it's a fantastic product.

I'd rate it eight out of ten overall.

Our use case is mostly for screen sharing and video conferences. I'm a solutions architect/systems engineer and we're a customer of Microsoft. 

The video conferencing would be the best feature. One of the main reasons for moving to this solution is that it's included with our Office365 subscription. As a company we were already paying to use it. 

I would like to be able to see a larger number of participants in the gallery view, that would improve the product. I think the ability to integrate with other team's scheduling, for example, with people outside the organization would be a good feature. For example, most of our business partners work for Dell and EMC and they also use Teams. It would be great if we could pop on a video conference with them where screens were shared and we could at least see information on each other's calendars or some sort of external scheduling feature.

I've been using Teams for the last seven months. 

It's a stable solution. 

The scalability is pretty good, our entire company uses it and we're about 60 people which includes engineers, sales, administrative, accounting, shipping and receiving.

We used Skype previously and switched because Teams is included in our Microsoft package so we were paying for it anyway. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's part of an easy to manage subscription.

(November 2020)   Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality.
