    Excellent tool to communicate each other virtually

    Updated: Sep 25 2024
    Summary

    I connect almost daily to my team members for ongoing project using Microsoft Teams. During meeting, we all record our presentations, share files and then access all at one place, which is very pleasing and satisfying. It has given us a facility for quick communication with each other even with employee from other regions who are working in our organization. It is also useful in creating meetings within our organization for benefit of our organization.

    Positive

    I like Microsoft Teams because it helps in virtual meetings, file sharing and communicating with ease. It is very useful for non-technical persons because we send direct email to them to join the meeting. I also like how I can directly join meetings by calendar and keep track of my many meetings in such an elaborate interface. Also, files can be shared directly through chat link.

    Negative

    Sometimes it is very hard to join despite of high bandwidth internet. It also occupies systems resources and storage resulting in poor system performance during the session. Apart from this, there is nothing to dislike about.

    Unite, Collaborate and succeed with Microsoft Teams !

    Date: Jan 04 2024
    Summary

    Overall, we have positive reviews about Microsoft Teams especially for its seamless integration with other MS applications, and its robust collaboration features. I personally appreciate its unified platform for communication be it a video call, a meetings, file or data transfer. Its is a valuable tool for team collaboration, particularly for remote work scenario.

    Positive

    Microsoft Teams is a great tool for online meetings, calls, file transfers among others. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 applications like Excel, Word and MS Powerpoint. Communication is very smooth in MS Teams such as Video conference, calls, chat and file transfers. Microsoft Teams has a very robust security and compliance features to help secure our data and communications. This is a very helpful mean for team members working at remote locations. This can be scaled to meet the needs of small and large organizations alike. MS Teams can also be customized with third-party Apps to meet specific needs and workflows.

    Negative

    MS Teams has a wide range of features and capabilities which are sometimes overwhelming for new users. It requires time and training for users to fully understand and utilize the features. MS teams is also very resource intensive especially when using on old systems. This generally leads to slower performance. Guest access in MS Teams is very limited, as Guests have no access to Chats once they leave the call.

    Internal Emails? Not anymore!

    Date: Sep 08 2022
    Summary

    In general, we’ve been able to keep track of regular recurring items better by creating specific channels for related topics and it’s helped our team be on the same page.

    Positive

    Teams has helped us streamline our internal communication and prevent long email threads that get lost in our inboxes.

    Negative

    Not all team members are 100% fully transitioned over to Teams. It’s hard to change that mindset.

    Surprisingly Vast

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    It is a great option for team communication, collaboration on documents, and video conferencing. It works well on the mobile app and on computers to be a well-rounded software.

    Positive

    Teams does far more than just messaging. My personal favorite element is the integration of other Microsoft products into Teams to easily edit collaborative documents. The video conferencing also works well, and I appreciate the ease of immediate video calling instead of having to send out a link.

    Negative

    I almost feel like some of the features are hidden. I have been using Teams for over two years, but still find new things that I wasn't aware existed. They have a lot of great functions, but the user interface doesn't necessarily promote all of these.

    Microsoft Teams Review

    Date: Sep 29 2022
    Summary

    I believe Teams is an ecosystem of what you need to run your startup or business, Slack the alternative feels less like it and more of a feature.
    Once you start to scale and attract more employees and customers, I believe Teams is the superior solution, but perhaps not for early stage startups.

    Positive

    I think as a platform Teams scales really well especially if you have a large startup or company.
    The meeting system on Teams is also extremely well done, our team while using Teams directly used the meeting features with videos but while on Slack we used Zoom.

    Negative

    The UI and UX was quite hard to get used to, especially when coming from Slack it was night and day difference.
    It also seemed it was hard to bring external files and documents unto Teams, I think Teams pushed using their own technology like Docs and Excel for reading files which caused us quite some issues at the start.

    Easiest way to communicate with my team

    Date: May 30 2022
    Summary

    Overall, Teams does exactly what I need it to do and does it well. It gives me a chat system that integrates well with my email and keeps everything I need in one place. It's a great tool for any company to utilize.

    Positive

    Microsoft Teams has an organized interface that bundles teams and organizes individuals allowing me to cater my message the exact people it's meant for. It saves me time and makes sure everyone is on the same page as a company.

    Negative

    There could be greater customization (color, labels, etc) when it comes to the chat system. The meetings I have get bundled with previous conversations and takes time to organize everything.

    Decent but not for recruiting

    Updated: Mar 09 2022
    Summary

    Wouldn't use this for recruiting or multiple external meetings. But would use for casual conversations between friends.

    Positive

    The interface had a few good features and the sound quality was on par, but microphones worked better than most.

    Negative

    Not as easy to use for recruiting. Candidates had a hard time getting in to the rooms sometimes and just didn't really do well with the interface.

    Excellent Product by Microsoft

    Updated: Nov 11 2022
    Summary

    We got a Microsoft Team addon with Microsoft 365 service. We are using this for our team collaboration. It makes discussions with coworkers less complicated. It allows mobile and desktop client access to meetings/webinars.

    Positive

    Microsoft Teams is an incredible video conference product. Anyone (who gets a meeting invite) from anywhere can join meetings/webinars using any device on Microsoft Teams. Comes complimentary with Microsoft 365. Helps in team collaboration. Enterprise plans are inexpensive.

    Negative

    Microsoft should have worked on its UI. It's not responsive.
