    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.

    Excellent Product by Microsoft

    Edited: 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.

    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

    Edited: 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.

    Date: Jan 14 2022

    Summary: Overall I receive a good experience from this app, it helps me a lot it attending the meetings on time via calendar reminders. Also helps me to chatting with others through use of great emojis.

    Positive: It helps me in following ways:

    MS Teams is getting better and better, surprisingly

    Date: Dec 27 2021

    Summary: I 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.

    Positive: Lot's of functions beyond just chat and calls:
    File sharing, groups, notes via OneNote. Very useful for corporate users/

    Negative: Main 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.
