Microsoft Teams

Avantages

What I most love about MS Teams is that I am still able to interact with persons over a virtual platform even tho my work is remote.

Inconvénients

I do not have any dislike about the application so far.

Avantages

The flexibility it provides to create project specific channels.

Inconvénients

Managing permissions. I understand creating private channels however, it would be good to have options to set read/write/delete permissions for sub-channels.

Avantages

Teams makes it seamless for us to schedule virtual meetings, navigate communication whether through Outlook or chat.

Inconvénients

Microsoft has made a lot of changes within Teams over the last year or two and sometimes not for the better. It sometimes feels like features weren't tested before they were released. We in particular have stability issues with it on Macs.

Avantages

Microsoft Teams has amazing team communication functions like online meetings and instant chatting that help our entire team to share information and communicate smoothly. It has very advanced security and data protection functions that keep our confidential information and data safe when we are sharing them or working on them. Microsoft Teams has collaboration tools that help us bring everyone together on one working space making it possible to work together on projects in real time. Its visual boards allow us to have a clear view of all our work activities making it easy to follow up on our progress.

Inconvénients

Microsoft Teams has served it purpose really well for us. It has given us absolutely nothing to complain about it.

Avantages

The ease of communication with coworkers, sharing files, searching for messages, and using the Teams functions of make groups of coworkers under different projects, work areas, etc. Teams meetings and calling is also way more streamlined than other video calling software (WebEx and Zoom, for example) and I love the integration with Outlook.

Inconvénients

I wish there was more advanced search functionality. Such as in Outlook - searching by date, names, exact or not exact words, etc.

Avantages

It’s a one stop solution messaging platform

Inconvénients

Perhaps when there are hundreds of participants on a conference call we have to turn our videos on to stay connected but i believe this is something to do with the connection as well.

Avantages

Microsoft Teams is a well-known and widely used communication platform. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft services like OneDrive and Office, making it easy to connect and collaborate. Teams allows you to communicate, organize your schedule, and even conduct video calls all within the same tool. If you're already using other Microsoft services, Teams is an excellent choice for flexibility.

Inconvénients

However, it can be quite heavy, much like other Microsoft tools. The web and app versions offer different features and functions, which can be confusing for some users. Additionally, Teams has relatively high operating costs and requires some expertise to manage its settings effectively.

Pourquoi passer à Microsoft Teams

As we already used other Microsoft services.

Avantages

Very easy to communicate, hold meetings etc. Like the calendar functionality and seamless experience. Beneficial that one can keep everything in one place for a project.

Inconvénients

Can become difficult when arranging meetings with people outside of an organisation. You have to get used to working with the groups and individuals to avoid confusion. It has been tricky with us as the organisation limits what we can and can't share/save to Teams. It would be great if we could use it fully. Zoom has some better functionality for presenting training but as that is not our focus, Teams was a better choice.

Avantages

It is an excellent platform for the work environment. It allows me to stay in touch with my supervisors, colleagues and employers.

Inconvénients

I haven't had any negative reviews so far. It allows me to stay on top of my meetings and with my coworkers without interfering with my work.

Avantages

I like that this is an universal service with use from anyone in any field can connect and communicate efficiently. Teams holds up Information and are able to exchange it through different fields of the hospital. From nurses to doctors to hospital staff, Teams is great benefit to a company role in bettering patient care.

Inconvénients

The design seems a bit outdated. it is simple but once a certain amount of information in stored the systems seems a bit messy even when combined with other tabs within the software.

Avantages

Generally speaking, Teams is a great collaborative platform, offering all tools and features you need in order to work with fellow colleagues better and more efficiently.

Inconvénients

Although Teams has everything needed to be a great collaborative platform, the layout compared to competitors in the same market, lacks and is confusing. This lets Teams down where it could be a really incredible product all round.

We are already heavily integrated into the 365 family, Teams was the natural choice to keep that integration going for simplicity.

Avantages

Ease of connection and integration with office suite of apps.

Inconvénients

Occasionally the mic / camera won’t open and you have to restart the application. But this is rare and an easy fix.

Avantages

It is very easy to setup meetings, townhalls, live events, webinars, etc. compared to other platforms.

Inconvénients

The NDI functionality within Teams is exceptionally buggy at the moment with inconsistent functionality. We will have the NDI working flawlessly today, and tomorrow it won't work... on the same computer and same account.

Zoom Workplace

Pourquoi choisir Microsoft Teams 

Our free trial was coming to an end on the Google work suite, and as we primarily use Microsoft for our events, it was a more obvious route to move over.

Pourquoi passer à Microsoft Teams

We use both Zoom and Microsoft for some of our clients, however, we have found that Zoom is strong in some areas, such as large webinars, but Teams is better for meetings. However, the pricing of Zoom is a lot more than Teams.

Avantages

The thing I love most about Teams is the ease of use. From instant messages to using Adobe, it is the best interoffice communications program to use.

Inconvénients

The only complaint I have ever had about Teams is when they updated it. It deleted my Adobe suite and I had to redo the whole thing.

Avantages

Quick and efficient messaging. Multi-media sharing options for team collaboration. Integration with Microsoft suite enabling you to review and edit documents quickly. Reactions -- simple and a clear way to respond without having to type a full message. Live statues to update others where you are and when you are available. App integrations with Todoist, Redflag, and other services we use daily. Video calls and phone calls with ease from both my computer and from my phone.

Inconvénients

The interface can be unreliable. Changes layout and views of certain documents when viewed on desktop versus within Teams. Some minor bugs with video and camera being recognized. Some de-sync from time to time between phone and computer. Some loss of connection where I do not receive messages until much later in the day.

Avantages

I can easily integrate Microsoft Teams with my Outlook and other Microsft tools. It's flexible and easy to use. I love the recently updated features that make it look unique.

Inconvénients

I am yet to discover the downside of Microsoft Teams.

Avantages

MS Teams allows you to have a smooth communication with your teammates and also with clients and providers. It allows you to easily set up meetings or quickly call to another user.

Inconvénients

Some of the features are not well implemented I think. For example, when you go into a private chat details and "shared" tab, you can see "recent", "files" and "links", but you can't find the shared pictures easily, so if you need to find any, you only can do it by scrolling through the chat, which is annoying and slow.

Avantages

Most joined up collaboration tool on the market. File storage with backend on SharePoint, voice/video using evolution of Skype online, secure by design.

Inconvénients

Microsoft have started adding premium/add-on skus.

Pourquoi passer à Microsoft Teams

Office 365 integration made decision easy, using same management platform makes it easy

Avantages

We have reaped so much benefits since we deployed MS Teams in our organisation. It is a super easy to use and highly intuitive tool that enable presenters plan, invite and execute virtual meetings. It is also easy for the team members to join new meetings with IDs and passcode both on the app and on a web browser. Ms Teams enable us to host live events such as webinars and conferences with a large number of attendees without hustles or struggles. It provide HD video and sound quality and has a streamlined audio and video settings that enable us to select preferred camera or microphone directly, suppress background noise, setting backgrounds and adjusting volume. MS Teams enable to expand the video grid view when using browsers which allows the meetings to be more engaging and inclusive and you can see more than one participants at once. Additionally it streamlines the meeting recap. Recordings, content sharing and meeting notes summarises and organises meetings for easy access of relevant information. Setting up meeting rooms within the meeting is magical. It ensures there are different channels for different issues which help solve them easily

Inconvénients

Microsoft Teams is our number 1 productivity tool. We have reaped tobs of benefits from using it and that is not without challenges here and there but honestly the benefits surpass the limitations

Avantages

Lo que más destacaría de Microsoft Teams es la capacidad de poder tener todas las comunicaciones en un mismo sitio, poder hacer reuniones, llamadas, chats, etc. Se integra a la perfección con otras herramientas de Microsoft y de terceros. Gracias a la inteligencia artificial, con la herramienta de Copilot, se pueden automatizar muchas tareas y procesos.

Inconvénients

Algo que echo en falta a la hora de usar Microsoft Teams es no poder tener abiertas varias instancias en el caso de tener que usar Microsoft Teams para tenants o clientes distintos. También mejoraría su rendimiento en dispositivos móviles.

Avantages

The ability to communicate with colleagues and collaborate with clients using the powerful conference call feature.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the communication with other Microsoft apps is not best optimised.

Avantages

Microsoft Teams has been our ultimate collaboration tool in our organization. Given that most of our work is collective and usually divided as team projects, we appreciate that Microsoft Teams has become our easy to use partner in these group projects. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 apps which enable us import and export data from this apps seamlessly. Individual and group chats enable us to instantly message team members for feedback or any discussion. Additionally it enable us to send files to my coworkers. Usually when I want to focus on work item, I mute the conversations and will later get back to them. We have been able to create chat channel for different topics and this make it easy to resolve issues of separate topics. With only relevant messages on different channels it saves us time of scrolling through lots of clutter message. Microsoft Teams provide us with everything we need to collaborate live on realtime. Accessing all Microsoft apps from one point,calls and videoconferences enable us to work efficiently. Microsoft Teams mobile app is convenient and enable us to meet at our own comfort without having to be in the same location. Microsoft Teams integrates with so many other tools which smoothens file sharing and workflow optimization.

Inconvénients

I love everything about Microsoft Teams and most especially the fact that it has everything I need in one place. Messages, meetings, notes and documents. I have realtime access to my teammates which makes collaboration quick and easy.

Avantages

The convenience of connecting and holding meetings without having to leave my office.

Inconvénients

It can be quite frustrating to go through two-factor authentication when frequently using different computers.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to set up virtual meetings and video conferences with Teams. The quality is consistently good, and features like screen sharing and breakout rooms enhance productivity

Inconvénients

One thing I find frustrating about Microsoft Teams is the amount of notifications. It can become overwhelming, especially when you're part of multiple teams and channels, and it's sometimes hard to keep track of what's important.

Avantages

Our company uses MS Teams for much of our collaborative work. It syncs well with Outlook, SharePoint, and Planner allowing us schedule meetings, share work, manage projects, and store files. The screen share function is particularly usuell in combination with Planner and SharePoint.

Inconvénients

The interface for files copy/move is cumbersome. It suggests recent of favorite locations but does not provide a means to look up a location that is not suggested. A simple file explorer like navigation would easily resolve this.

Avantages

tem certa ligação com o ecossistema da microsoft, o que faz com que possamos compartilhar trabalhos e organiza-los com maior facilidade.

Inconvénients

Complicado de se usar e não se torna muito intuitivo, sem contar que há outros aplicativos do mesmo nicho que são melhores.

Avantages

By far, the best part about Teams is the ability to communicate with people at all times and how easy it has made collaborative work no matter where each employee is located. The ease of sharing files, holding calls, and sending messages is a leg above the competition. It has combined into one platform what I used to have three apps to perform. And I love that it fully integrates with Office 365!

Inconvénients

It does not impact me directly, but I could see how needing a Microsoft account to log in could be a deterrent.

Avantages

It’s so simple to connect with your colleagues and have meetings when remote work is an option.

Inconvénients

There isn’t anything I don’t like about Teams

Avantages

Microsoft Teams is a great tool for teachers and staff. At my school, we use Teams to communicate with other teachers. I like that you can have Teams automatically open when you sign into your computer. This helps incase you forgot to turn it on. I use it all the time to ask other teachers questions or to contact the front office. It will give you a notification popup whenever you receive a message. During Covid, our school used Microsoft Teams for virtual classes. It was very easy to set up my classes and have my students logged in. My web camera was easily connected so students could view the whiteboard.

Inconvénients

One con about Microsoft Teams is there seem to be a couple of different versions of Teams. When I sign into my PC, once in a while it will sign into the wrong account so I won't see messages sent to me. I have to physically go into teams, sign out, and sign back into the right account. I have not figured out how to fix this yet.

Avantages

Teams is a versatile messaging app that allows me to contact and meet with colleagues all over my region and internationally with ease. In addition to the meeting features since it is a Microsoft 365 applications its integration with the other Microsoft apps provides a huge benefit to file sharing also.

Inconvénients

Microsoft teams is a versatile app and in my everyday usage of the app i rarely have and issues with the application with the only issue only being app setting being changed sometimes.

Avantages

The new Teams is really wonderful with the different meeting options. The audio quality and video quality seems to be pretty stable so far. Love the new update with enhance stability and collaborative space.

Inconvénients

I do bump into instances after the new update where I can't open attachments received or sent before I have to kill the application and open it again. Have submitted tickets to root cause to my IT teams but were not able to resolve it internally.

Avantages

Microsoft teams is accessible from anywhere : web, tablet, phone.
Very well integrated to microsoft applications and easy to use
Video conferencing and remote share screen

Inconvénients

Require a good internet connection and a Microsoft account

Avantages

Mit ein paar Abstrichen das perfekte Tool für die Zusammenarbeit. Chats und Voice/Video funktionieren einwandfrei.

Inconvénients

Die Telefonie-Funktion ist deutlich ausbaufähig. Es ist nicht möglich, eigene Telefonkontakte mir einer reinen Telefonnummer zu hinterlegen. Eine „richtige“ Telefonanlage - wie man sie in Deutschland mit Routing-Funktionen benötigt - ist nicht möglich.

Avantages

I like the user-friendliness of Teams. It's easy for anyone to use, including people who have never used software such as this before. You can create groups, share files, create polls, screen record training sessions and so much more. If you ever used MSN Messenger back in the days, this is like a ramped up version of it! Lots of businesses use Teams so it's easy to set up a meeting and add a Teams link to have your meeting through. There are also no time limits which is a great feature. I really like how you can have live reactions in the Teams meetings as well (such as clapping hands if congratulating a teammate on a job well done) etc.

Inconvénients

One feature I dislike about Teams is that you can't add people from other networks to your Teams chats. You can connect with people through Teams meetings links outside of your organization, but you can't just start up a chat with them like you can with people inside of your organization.

Avantages

It is well integrated in the Office 365 Suite and available on every platform, and has amazing collaboration features for both small and large teams.

Inconvénients

A few bugs here and there, and the interface is not always easy to navigate. It's not difficult by any means, but some design choices are questionable, in my opinion.

Avantages

The options while using MS Teams are the best when used in a MS environment

Inconvénients

When used in a non Microsoft organizations the features are basic with limited search capability

Avantages

Its user-friendly interface, the capabilities of the application like user availability status, notifications, customizations, Group and teams structures, high quality meetings with hundreds of participants.

Inconvénients

The text formatting feature of Teams could be somewhat improved and made easier. Also, the transcription feature can be revised with more options (where the user can decide about the length of the transcribed text).

Avantages

Simple to chat, Video call, audio call. Spaces for file sharing and other things with co-workers. Seeing their Free/Busy status is nice. I also enjoy being able to attach custom names to groups which adds a bit of fun.

Inconvénients

Teams are a bit cumbersome to use. Some change Microsoft made also made sharing files with others, for editing at least, much more difficult. Want them to get a file they can download? No problem. Need them to edit it? Painful. I am signed in on Mobile and I am never sure if my status changes to show me as unavailable.

Avantages

Multi-linguigal SSO login tailored with all necessities and modules for team discussion and IMM and chats. Online team meetings and file sharing.

Inconvénients

Nothing to air since it makes it all with effectiveness.

Avantages

It is fully integrated into M365 making productivity and collaboration seamless.

Nicely integrated with Outlook, especially the calendar management.

Notification tab covers a lot.

24/7 Onedrive integration along with Word, excel, power point, and OneNote.

Zero issues with meetings and their creation, clear and smooth interface familiar to all who used Outlook.

Inconvénients

A lot of features around Sharepoint feel redundant requiring too many clicks.

Teams channels often lag if the directory behind is 'heavy'.

Permissions can be confusing and need monitoring / admin online.

The latest update that blocks access to the center of the screen, where browser tabs are at the top, while sharing is insanely bad UI/UX. This requires immediate attention but it is still not solved.

Search function is similar to Outlook.

Avantages

Microsoft Teams is light enough to be installed in our phone. Makes business meetings or call on the go so much easier. The feature to share files and keep meetings recordings are also very helpful. The forwarding call feature is very useful.

Inconvénients

I have two versions in my laptop, one said the latest one, but I don't know why both old and new versions popped up at the same time when my laptop is turned on.

Avantages

Ease of use, integration with other Microsoft products, use on phone, modern look and feel

Inconvénients

Often gets hung up on phone, but a restart easily resolves.

Avantages

I like how much capability the program offers. The features offered give you the ability to excel in team collaboration, communication, management and so much more, instead of needing multiple other programs that do the same thing.

Inconvénients

It has some limitations of using other microsoft programs like excel and PowerPoint as stand alone programs since their features work best that way, but Teams gets you mostly there.
