Great for virtual meetings
Date: Jan 28 2021SummaryI use the Microsoft Teams app on a daily basis at work. It's great if you just need to send a quick reminder or question to a co-worker because you don't have to stop what you are doing to make a phone call. This app is perfect for one on one meetings because you can easily share your screen to the other person or vice versa. Due to Covid-19 closures, I actually did the majority of my position training via Teams and it was great! Very easy to navigate and screen sharing has clear image. You can also speak through the Teams app if you have a headset available.
PositiveClear picture/visibility. Ease of screen sharing. Easy to navigate. Great for sending a quick message. Great for virtual meetings.
NegativeI have not come across any issues with Teams. I use this app daily with work.

Excellent Collaboration Tool
Updated: Jan 08 2021SummaryDuring the pandemic, there has been an increased need to coordinate a group of users working at different times and in different locations. This product has helped us to improve communication and collaboration during this critical time.
PositiveThis program has simplified collaboration for my team by combining the features of several programs that we used previously. It also seamlessly integrates existing software that we had been using previously such as SharePoint. I like the way team members can work together on a collaborative document while using video chat or instant messaging.

Some helpful features
Date: Aug 17 2021SummaryTeams can be a great solution, particularly for an organization that often interfaces with people who don't regularly video chat and will appreciate the browser option (vs other platforms that require a software download).
PositiveIt's very helpful that Teams will allow folks to join from a web browser. This makes it much easier for anyone to access meetings.

Does So Much
Date: Jun 07 2021SummaryMicrosoft Teams is a substantial solution and a major upgrade from Lync. They continue to add new and cool features. Excited to see where it goes.
PositiveGreat product, it is so capable, the ability to build rooms and have teams collaborate is great. IM to anyone is also a great tool.
NegativeWe need to determine a way to manage the usage of documents in the rooms. Our centralized document manage system is the repository for all documents, we can't control what happens with documents in Teams.

Great experience, though some improvements may be needed
Date: Jun 15 2021SummaryA very positive development from Microsoft and a much better UX compared to Skype. Dev team should pat themselves on the back but also continue to take feedback via forums and make a world class product. :)
PositiveFantastic integration with existing Office apps. Good customization options with dark and light modes. Notifications can be tailored in more options than I thought possible
Calls seem to use less data than Skype/Zoom, so crisp audio.NegativeMeeting reminders sometimes disappear or alert very late into the scheduled time.

Solid Project Management Interface
Date: May 23 2021SummaryVery good for projects, not as good for daily operational communication. With a few tweaks, teams would become exponentially more powerful. Teams should have templates based upon what the team is trying to accomplish. (Problems, Projects, Proposals, etc.)
PositiveI like the ability to navigate multiple teams and workflows. Teams makes it easy to communicate and store information in a centralized repository that is content/project-specific.
NegativeThe interface becomes very busy if you are managing more than 3 teams. You can become overwhelmed if multiple people or groups begin trying to communicate multiple workstreams at the same time. It may be challenging to keep up with the chats, posts and your normal communication channels.

Good for enterprise conference and messaging
Date: Jul 11 2021SummaryI'd recommend any company to try this as part of office 365 offering since it helps to boost communication and engagement within the teams.
PositiveI've been using on my company for many years and I've seen frequent UI and performance improvements from Microsoft over the years. The UI is simple, screen sharing perfect, recordings can be done and it connects with office 365 suite and tools.
NegativeWould be good to have "break out rooms" or similar to make conferences somehow dynamic like zoom does. Also, inviting people outside your org could be tricky since a noob user would need to download the app (you can manage to join from browser but first option is to download).

MS Teams is getting better and better, surprisingly
Date: Dec 27 2021SummaryI am using MS Teams for a couple of years already when working for several clients (big corporations mainly). Over time it surprisingly gets better and better, last things I noticed is an automatic attendance schedule that is available after a call and a built-in call recording tool.
PositiveLot's of functions beyond just chat and calls:
File sharing, groups, notes via OneNote. Very useful for corporate users/NegativeMain problem that I have with Teams is some instability when working via Citrix Desktop. Sometimes calls are not available because Citrix doesn't see my headset. So this is not entirely MS Teams problem, but is still an issue since many corporations provide remote desktop functionality via Citrix software which doesn't work perfectly with MS Teams.
