I like this software because it is secure and allow file transfer while having a fast, good quality meeting.
It is such a steep learning curve, it all looks very confusing and disorganized. I have a hard time figuring out how to navigate it.
If you're apart of the Microsoft ecosystem or thinking of becoming part of it, Microsoft Teams is great. They have multiple third-party integrations, pricing is great, UI/UX is great.
There are actually times, and I hate to admit it, that I get too frustrated trying to use Teams to call other Macs, that I switch over and call them on Zoom instead.
Customization as per requirement. Call quality is good and screen sharing control works like a charm.
Very little to dislike and cannot think of anything that bad i would comment on it. The negative is the shade of purple it uses.
I really like Microsoft Teams. It is a great software and it has been a lifesaver for me. I highly recommend using it.
Sync with desktop prone to errors. The UI for editing in teams is horrible and prone to errors.
I am very satisfied with this software package. It is vert suitable for what we need to hold successful meetings.
One slight disadvantage is that it can be quite time-consuming managing both Groups and Committees separately.
Easy to use and intuitive. The time we save as administrators using this system is wonderful and the ease of updating papers if anything changes is extremely useful.
The software restricts the types of documents that can be uploaded to pdf only. The reason for this is the additional software which has been added to allow the annotation of agenda packs.
Improved effectiveness and reduced the time for preparing and running meetings. Better engagement and more information for better decisions.
SharePoint was less time consuming but several members found it difficult to access their reports and this led to confusion at meetings.
I like the presentation and the ease of setting agendas. The ability to drag and drop papers in means that its super fast and having the ability to move the agenda around is great.
Sometimes notes are missed if users forget to send a notification to the report owner so it would be good to have this done automatically.
Rick: My name is Rick. I'm the executive director of Marketing and Technology for Chapel Hill Academy. I give Microsoft Teams a rating of 5 out of 5. Before Microsoft Teams, we didn't really have any sort of management software. We would just do things manually over email using on-device storage and using the phone to call people. We didn't really have an instant chat way to communicate with people instantly, or unified file storage or project management option. We chose Microsoft Teams because of its compatibility with the whole Microsoft ecosystem. We had been using Microsoft tools and apps previously, the Office Suite, OneDrive, or SkyDrive even before that, Outlook, et cetera. So it just seemed nice to have a unified experience and not have too many different systems that ended up being siloed, but something that's a unifying platform. Overall, it was a good experience getting started with Microsoft Teams. I will say as we continue to onboard new staff from time to time, it is a little bit of a learning curve, but Microsoft does provide some phenomenal resources to help get people started through their Microsoft Learn program and also through online videos that guide people to getting familiar with how to use Microsoft Teams. I would recommend for anyone considering Microsoft Teams, first of all, it's great. Definitely do it. But I think the key is just when you get started and onboarding, is to make sure you equip yourself with the proper training and understanding and organization of the platform, and then also carry that on to your team or staff so that everyone has a pleasant experience as they continue to grow and learn how to leverage and maximize teams to be more efficient.
