Decent but sometimes slow
Date: Oct 26 2020SummaryIt's a decent program, but may not be for everyone. Recording wasn't as bad as in Collaborate Ultra or Zoom, both of which frequently disconnected us all no matter our internet speed or location, but for basic communication, Band was easier for staff and students. Many of the staff who weren't very used to using programs outside of email, spreadsheets, and Word, struggled but I think most would pick up how to navigate it just fine. Being able to edit PowerPoint together and store things in our Notebook were really useful. Recorded one-on-one tutoring sessions were really useful to students and staff, both for accountability and for students to review further in their free time. I'd recommend giving it a try, though I personally prefer Slack over Teams myself.
PositiveThere's a lot of app integration for Teams. One Note ended up being really useful for compiling everything my classes covered in our live sessions. Video recording was great for students to look back on our extra tutoring sessions between classes. I love that I can hide the area behind myself. I prefer the privacy, and many of our students, shy about possibly revealing their home environment just for class, also loved this feature. Setting up sessions with students was easy.
NegativeWhile I myself didn't have issues, some of our students struggled to get their accounts set up and tech support had to be called. They were all able to et access eventually. If a student didn't have a strong connection, live sessions were often interrupted and they had to reconnect. Many of our students live in a mountainous, rural area, so this was a recurring problem. A strong connection and fast internet is definitely a must to get the max out of this. Android app settings and preferences are also organized differently than PC versions, which made for some confusion among our staff about how to set up notifications. It wasn't an issue for me, but there may be a steeper learner curve for those who aren't too tech savvy.

All in One Collaboration Solution

The ease of use of the various widgets for planning, and for document collaboration is excellent.
PositiveTeams is the go-to app for collaboration across teams - it has been the most convenient, thorough and effective way to keep in touch with my project teams, despite being separated across various time zones and continents.
NegativeSometimes the app closes unexpectedly and does not save progress if I'm editing a document - but this is a rare occurrence.

All-in-one tool, nice interface for group video calls
Date: Nov 16 2020SummaryOverall the tool has many great features for teams to work together and stay in touch whether through video or chat, as well as file-sharing. Other tools like Zoom and Slack have nicer interfaces and are easier to use, but Teams is beneficial for a company looking to implement an all-in-one solution.
PositiveThe biggest benefit to Teams is that everything is in one place - chat, video, file-sharing, and more. The video feature has a leg-up to Zoom in that it allows large groups to see more people by rotating who is shown. Many companies also prefer Teams because it is higher security than a platform like Zoom.
NegativeVideo tool lacks some features that Zoom has, such as polling. The screen share function is less seamless as Zoom. Note that the web version of Teams video is very different interface than the application. The chat function isn't nearly as nice and interface or functionality as Slack, but again, the benefit is that Teams puts everything in one place which can be convenient.

Great software!
Date: Dec 27 2020SummaryI would like to give full rating to Teams as it is just the best product in the IT field right now and is way above its competitors because it offers many functionalities which the other software products fail to provide. Also, the support has been really terrific. I called the Teams support once since Teams was not opening on my system and the Teams support helped me resolve the issue within one hour.
PositiveIt enables us to form team groups within the platform which ultimately helps in team chats and file sharing within the teams and also lets the file to update in real time by all the team members within the group.
NegativeI noticed that whenever I log in daily and directly go to Teams, it takes a quite a bit of time to connect to its server and to come online as compared to other products like Zoom which are really fast . The time taken by Teams to connect to its server for the first time could be improved.

Access to powerful features for a small team
Date: Dec 04 2020SummarySuper powerful tool for keeping teams organized, managing privacy settings, and easy to setup for a team that is not super tech savvy.
PositiveAccess to Microsoft's cloud storage via Teams, Sharepoint and one Drive has changed our teams ability to work remotely . Made the transition to cloud file management and file sharing super easy. We get access to powerful tools through a license we already pay for and use everyday. Way better than buying separate licenses for similar services.
NegativeMigration of Legacy files to Teams (and therefore teams, one drive etc.) was more complicated than the interface seems. It skipped many files when we did a large batch transfer. Eventually we discovered the Sharepoint migration tool that handled file migration with out missing files in the transfer.
