Cloud-based solution designed for business communications to help teams manage chat, meet, file sharing, team discussions, and more.
For people who use meetings to drive progress (board meetings, project meetings, department reviews, committee meetings) and who want to get more actions completed and save time on meeting admin.
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.
Clean, easy to understand interface & dashboard with relevant information front & centre. Customer care & support it excellent - questions are answered quickly & concerns/suggestions addressed.
When uploading reports, it is hit and miss whether they appear in the right order, despite dragging and naming them alphabetically.
They help you keep on top of tasks and also remind you to upload any reports that are due. The link in the reminder that takes you straight to the log in page is great.
That its online software, i prefert using either apps, or offline programs, since i might use it in a place where there is no internet.
From a participant perspective, I like having email reminders of actions outstanding.
I have no dislikes other than the facility to upload file types other than PDF.
It saved me a great deal of time managing regularly occurring meetings and keeping on top of actions.
It's extremely difficult to criticise as i find such benefits to using the software.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
