Rick N
Exec. Dir. Marketing and Technology
5.0

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.

Mike H
VP of Customer Success
4.0

Mike: This is Mike. I'm a VP of customer success. And I give Fellow a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. The business problem that we're solving with Fellow is having a single place for our entire organization, where we can plan out different meetings that we're going to have in advance, store and outline action items, things we expect to tick off in the meeting. But also when we're in that meeting, or even if it's a little bit longer term, more like a project, we can assign out action items, to-dos coming out of this. It can be a one-time thing, it can be a recurring meeting. What I like most about Fellow is the ease of getting started. It has an integration with your calendar so that once you connect those two up, your whole calendar drops into Fellow. It sees what appointments you have coming up, and you can select one. You can make the action items. You're sharing that space with other people on the team, so it's a very collaborative experience. It's just easy for everybody to get started. Fellow's a great product, but I think that they could do more in how they support certain types of meetings. It's great for team meetings and things. I think it could be better for one-on-ones. A one-on-one is a special kind of meeting. I'm there to motivate someone. I'm there to congratulate. Sometimes, unfortunately, to discuss poor performance, and potentially put someone on a performance improvement plan. I think there's a lot that Fellow could do in that specific area, built-in tools and playbooks that would make it more meaningful for special meeting types like that.
