Microsoft Teams reviews

Fijne online meeting tool!

Pluspunten:

Het is een makkelijke tool waar je afspraken kan inplannen, videobellen, audio gesprekken, chatten en je scherm kan delen. Ook kan je via deze tool gemakkelijk in jira of je eigen kanban board in teams bouwen

Minpunten:

Deze heb ik tot op heden nog niet kunnen ontdekken.

samenwerken met collega's

Pluspunten:

teams is een uitstekend programma om samen te werken met collega's. denk hierbij aan het delen van informatie, samenwerken in kanalen, vergaderen, chatten etc

Minpunten:

oppassen dat je niet in te veel kanalen actief bent. hier is echter een functie voor om je deelname aan kanalen te dempen waardoor je niet telkens meldingen krijgt.

Teams is niet meer weg te denken

Opmerkingen: super positief voor diverse doeleinde; vergaderingen, chatten en het delen van bestanden

Pluspunten:

De vele mogelijkheden die dit programma biedt en de snelheid waarmee de informatie wordt verwerkt is top. Altijd en overal toegang is daarnaast essentieel

Minpunten:

Soms is de kwaliteit voor het bellen iets minder

Communicatie met Teams

Pluspunten:

De integratie van Teams met andere applicaties van Microsoft.

Minpunten:

Weer een kanaal erbij met berichten. Bij ons in het bedrijf is Teams gekoppeld aan de telefooncentrale. Hierbij gaat het doorverbinden nog steeds niet zo soepel als vroeger met een traditionele telefooncentrale.

Teams is niet klantvriendelijk

Pluspunten:

Fijn te gebruiken als je abonnement hebt en voor online afspraken.

Minpunten:

Je moet een account hebben bij Microsoft om het te gebruiken, anders kost het ontzettend veel tijd en is het niet makkelijk te gebruiken.

Microsoft Teams is the most popular communication and collaboration tool according to me

Opmerkingen: Teams is the most widely used collaboration tool today. Overall experience is quite good with just a few improvements that can be done.Additionally it would be great if they can reduce the prices a little bit

Pluspunten:

It has many benefits. Some are mentioned below Integrated Platform: Microsoft Teams is an all-in-one platform that allows users to chat, make audio and video calls, share files, collaborate on documents, and more, all within one app. This integration of features makes it easy for users to stay organized and manage their work in one place.User-Friendly Interface: Microsoft Teams has a simple and intuitive interface that is easy to use, even for beginners. Users can easily find the features they need and navigate the app with ease.High Quality Video and Audio: Microsoft Teams offers high-quality video and audio conferencing, which makes it ideal for remote teams and virtual meetings. The app also has features such as screen sharing and virtual backgrounds to enhance the user experience.Third-Party Integrations: Microsoft Teams integrates with a wide range of third-party apps, including Microsoft Office 365, Trello, and Asana. This makes it easy to collaborate with team members and share information seamlessly.

Minpunten:

The user interface is not as friendly as zoom or Google Meet. There can be some improvementsIt is a heavy software and takes some time to load like Cisco Webex. Zoom and Google meet are relatively lighterCustomizations are also limited

An Overview of Microsoft Teams

Opmerkingen: Overall, Microsoft Teams is an excellent tool for team collaboration. It offers a great platform for teams to communicate and share files, ideas, and projects. The user interface is easy to use and navigate. However, it can be slow at times and there is limited customization options available.

Pluspunten:

Microsoft Teams is an incredibly useful tool for collaboration and communication. It offers a great platform for teams to connect and share files, ideas, and projects. The user interface is also easy to use and navigate.

Minpunten:

While Microsoft Teams is very useful, it can be quite slow at times, making it difficult to use when trying to collaborate in a timely manner. Additionally, there is a limited range of customization options available, making it hard to tailor the platform to the individual needs of a team.

Streamlining Collaboration: A Student's Perspective on Microsoft Teams

Opmerkingen: Overall, my experience using Microsoft Teams has been positive. The platform effectively brought all my academic communication and resources into one centralized location, making it easier for me to stay organized and on top of my work. The video conferencing and group chat features allowed for seamless collaboration with classmates, even when we were not in the same location. While there were some technical difficulties and a steep learning curve with the interface, these were minor issues in the grand scheme of things. I would definitely recommend Microsoft Teams to other students looking to streamline their academic experience.

Pluspunten:

I appreciated Microsoft Teams' ability to bring all my class communication and resources into one centralized platform. The integration of Teams with other Microsoft tools, like OneNote and Office 365, made it easy for me to stay organized and on top of my work. The group chat and video conferencing features also made it possible for me to connect with my classmates and collaborate on projects in real-time, regardless of where we were located.

Minpunten:

One aspect of Microsoft Teams that I did not particularly enjoy was the occasional technical difficulties. There were times when the video conferencing feature would lag or the screen sharing would not work smoothly, which could be frustrating during important class sessions. Additionally, the interface could be overwhelming, with many different tabs and features to navigate. However, these issues were few and far between, and overall, Teams remained a valuable tool for me as a student.

Team Collaboration and Communication Platform

Opmerkingen: Microsoft Teams is a versatile and powerful collaboration platform that offers a range of features and capabilities for teams to work together effectively, but can also be overwhelming and require effective organization and management.

Pluspunten:

Versatile platform with a range of features for communication, collaboration, and project management. Seamless integration with other Microsoft Office applications. Security and compliance features, such as data encryption and two-factor authentication, to ensure data protection. Mobile access, allowing users to work and collaborate from anywhere. Easy file sharing and real-time screen sharing capabilities. Large third-party app integration ecosystem.

Minpunten:

Can be overwhelming for some users due to the large number of features and options available. Teams can become cluttered with multiple channels and messages, leading to a need for effective organization and management. Integration with non-Microsoft apps can sometimes be limited. Can be difficult for some users to navigate and find information quickly. Limited customization options for branding and design.

Microsoft Team's facilitation of collaboration and meetings

Opmerkingen: As mentioned, it is an excellent tool for collaboration and communication in small and large meetings. It works well for information sharing and presentations, and it has a wonderful storage facility.Microsoft Teams is protected because it restricts us from screenshotting any of the chats. Also, we can link it to our personal phones so that even when using smartphones, we may remain connected.

Pluspunten:

Real-time status updates from Microsoft Teams for other users, instant changes to "online," "away," and "busy."There are many options available for organizers, such as breakout rooms.Group Communication and Information Sharing

Minpunten:

Few channels are permitted for each team. For improved productivity, the number of channels could be raised.Need a strong internet connection.There should be more background selections included.

Cheap & Reliable Video Conferencing, Screen Share and Messaging program

Opmerkingen: Really good inexpensive and reliable solution that integrated within the existing infrastructure of the business

Pluspunten:

Cheap and effective. Was originally setup just before the first Covid lockdown and enabled us to continue working in spite of all the day to day issues we faced. Is still used throughout the business for Meetings between offices, Virtual training sessions and more on a daily basis

Minpunten:

MS Teams has on occasion been quite heavy on the hardware usage depending on usage and machine age.

Teams for Teams

Pluspunten:

As the IT project manager, I'm thrilled to say that the project was a great success! Thanks to the exceptional collaboration and communication made possible by Microsoft Teams, the team delivered high-quality work within the agreed timelines and budget. I'm proud of the team's hard work and dedication, and I look forward to using this platform on future projects.

Minpunten:

Really none to be honest with you guys working in similar businesses. Maybe the price tag for bigger teams.

Very convenient and great app you can use

Opmerkingen: Very good and having no problem in using and most important is very convenient especially if you can attend on meeting face to face

Pluspunten:

-helps you to focus more on working and on meeting-very convenient to use especially on distance meeting-help to strive team towards agenda

Minpunten:

-having a slow internet connection-there is a delay sometimes to sharing screen-file access, file somehow deorganized

Good, but a memory hog

Opmerkingen: Good for communication, slows down your machine having it running though.

Pluspunten:

The instant chat and ability to quickly jump into a video call are great. As is the team functionality of collating conversation and files etc.

Minpunten:

The team chat can quickly become disorganised, especially in a big team. The biggest issue with teams though is the fact it's a huge memory hog. It makes even the most powerful computers work hard and is slow no matter the hardware. It also sometimes decides it can't log you in and a manual clearing of the cache is required. this is n to an easy step though!

In-Depth Look at Microsoft Teams: My Personal Experience

Opmerkingen: My experience with Microsoft Teams has been a mix of positive and negative. While I appreciate the app's many useful features, such as video conferencing, real-time document collaboration, and chat functions, I have also encountered some issues with its usability and stability. Glitches and bugs have made it challenging to use at times, and the app's interface can be difficult to navigate.Despite these challenges, I do believe that Microsoft Teams has the potential to be a valuable tool for teams and remote workers, especially as the need for virtual collaboration increases. However, I do hope that Microsoft continues to improve the app's usability and stability so that it becomes even more effective in facilitating communication and collaboration. Overall, my experience with Microsoft Teams has been a bit of a mixed bag, but I remain hopeful that it will continue to evolve and improve over time.

Pluspunten:

As someone who works remotely, I can't imagine getting through my day without Microsoft Teams. The app's video calls are seriously impressive - even with a sketchy internet connection, I've never experienced any lag or issues with audio quality. I also love how easy it is to schedule meetings and chat with colleagues without disrupting their work. Plus, being able to collaborate in real-time and share files has made my team's workflow so much smoother. I don't know how we ever managed without it!

Minpunten:

Microsoft Teams has a lot of potential as a communication and collaboration tool; its useful features, usability, and stability have been significant issues. The app has encountered glitches and bugs, making it difficult to use and navigate effectively. Nonetheless, it could become an essential tool for teams if Microsoft improves its reliability and ease of use.

Best Collaboration Tool for Your Team

Opmerkingen: Overall, I think this far surpasses Microsoft's previous tool, Skype for Business, and has brought a new level of collaboration to Microsoft. I appreciate the attention to detail that Microsoft has put into this product and feel it would be a wonderful product for teams of all sizes.

Pluspunten:

As a tax manager in public accounting, my team is virtual, mobile and ever changing. With MS Teams I am able to create virtual team channel where we can collaborate, keep files and track assignments. My very favorite feature of this software is the ability to put documents into my team channel and then work on them at the same time as my team members. For example, I can upload an excel workbook with a clients tax return workpapers and then each person on my team can be in the file working on this at the same time. This is a HUGE game changer.

Minpunten:

All things considered, I don't have a lot of criticism about this software except for one feature. In teams, the notification options are a bit limited. For example, when I receive a message from a coworker I have two options: 1) I can get a banner notification in the bottom right of my screen that will show the name of the sender and a few lines of the message or 2) no notification at all. What I think is missing here is the ability to have a banner pop up in the bottom corner that just shows that you have a new message. My reason for this is because I am often sharing my screen or have people who can see my screen - I want to be sure that confidential information is not displayed or that a more private message is not sitting in the corner of my screen for anyone to see.

Microsoft Teams Review

Opmerkingen: As a project manager I have helped my team run projects, create presentation and run meetings while using teams. It is a great tool to collaborate and hold meetings.

Pluspunten:

This is a great tool to use when working with larger scale company or a small company. It is versatile and well functioning. It is an all in one tool for your teams to work together and collaborate no matter where they are located. I like that you have the capability to hold a meeting and have the camera on or off-it is great when collaborating with team members who may not be in the office.

Minpunten:

One thing that I dislike about this software (maybe I have not figured out if this is a capability) but if you have more than one email-for example as a consultant, you may have your firm email and the email from the company you are on project with-it is not easy to collaborate while using both emails. Having to switch back and forth from emails can be a annoying. Often, you want to collaborate with team members that may not be on the project and as a consultant you want to be able to save time and not switch back and forth.

Coordinate Remote Teams with Relative Ease

Opmerkingen: Teams has been an asset to my company during our transition from working in the office to working remotely from home. As an extension of our existing Office 365 platform, we were able to efficiently set up an effective remote communication channel that gives us access to shared docs, conversation channels + meeting recordings.

Pluspunten:

As a company with multiple departments, it was great to find a platform that allowed us to efficiently organize communications between specific departments and project teams. Being able to record our meetings and save them has also been a huge plus -- and having everything integrated into our existing outlook accounts was a major bonus.

Minpunten:

Screen-sharing can be glitchy if you are trying to conduct a meeting using the web browser. If you are going to be sharing a presentation, I highly recommend doing so via the desktop app. The platform itself took a bit of getting used to -- the initial set up required a lot of tutorial watching to get the hang of. It would be nice to be able to add individuals to sub-channels only without giving them access to the entire team.

Teams was a hidden piece of software that turned out to be very valuable

Opmerkingen: After our Customer Communications and ITSM platform it is the most important tool for our IT and Security Managed Services Operations. We get a very complete feature set to build a dynamic collaboration environment. Originally we were seen as the weirdos trying to use that purple software, but the need to move 100% of our people to work from home due to COVID-19 meant all the company started using it. So far, after 3 months we are convinced we can keep a partial work from home model using Teams as its technological foundation.

Pluspunten:

We can use Teams to solve a wide array of use cases, from in-team collaboration, supervision, multi-area collaboration, video conferencing, remote support, task tracking, document management, etc. It is not the best tool for each use case but it is the only one we knew which does them all in a very acceptable way. Also, it was great finding out this tool was hiding there on the Office 365 apps drawer which we were already paying for, so it caused no additional expense.

Minpunten:

its video conferencing capabilities are not suitable for large audiences, like for a webinar or open conference. For those specific use cases we use other tools. We'd love if Teams gets the features which are available on Microsoft Power Apps for remote meetings. Power Apps has an awful performance so it's a no brainer choosing Teams instead.

At last! Teams is now the defacto standard for collaboration

Opmerkingen: Having use countless, similr solutions like Slack and WebEx, at last MS comes up trumps with a super, seamlessly integrated product in Teams. Having used Cisco WebEx and Slack, I was dubious about using teams, and when it was rolled out, I realised just how brilliant its become. I always derided MS products as being a but clunky and unable to compete with some of the "cooler" brands, but I am happy to report Teams has changed my mind. From the way you can just start a call right from teams, to how you can bring people in to your call, share files stored in SharePoint and create public and private groups - it's just so quick and easy. Now it's not to say everything is perfect, there is room for improvement like making it easier to customize your background without having to root around in the System32 folder (danger!). But for flexibility, collaboration, instant messaging, file sharing, conference calling and integration into the MS suite, you just don't need products like WebEx anymore, and I have also uninstalled Slack. Genuinely impressed.

Pluspunten:

So easy to start a conference call, simple to schedule from Outlook, great conferencing features and IM tools. Integration with Yammer is great!

Minpunten:

Some features need looking at, especially notifying the person who may be on mute for example, as well as having better capability on the whiteboard.

A great team communication tool that is used every day!

Opmerkingen: A tool we use at work every day. I was aware of the product before we started using it and pushed our IT department to implement it and the rest of the suite of tools from MS.

Pluspunten:

The ability to share specific applications, or your whole screen are both great features. Video along with screen share makes it easy to not only share the information but also see the person you are talking to at the same time.

Minpunten:

Sometimes it can be hard to find the right meeting to join, end up chasing people around on multiple calls if they don't click the right meeting link the first time. Should be able to merge calls.

Clunky but functional way to chat with a remote team

Opmerkingen: Due to the pandemic we because an entirely remote company. Teams has allowed us to save on multiple subscriptions, Zoom, Slack, and Dropbox. However, it has not been without its headaches. The screen sharing in meetings works occasionally. The desktop app will crash 2-3 times a week.

Pluspunten:

Teams can handle a large number of employees with multiple departments and teams each having their separate areas for conversation. The mobile app is stable and is developed at a faster pace than the desktop app. Also, because it is Microsoft there are good integrations with the rest of the Office 365 Suite.

Minpunten:

No one uses Teams out of choice. You use it because it comes bundled with your Office 365 subscription and your CFO says wait we can save how much? Even if it doesn't have functionality that you get with Slack. The Mac app is a cpu hog and will constantly run the fans on a laptop.

Teams has kept our team functioning at the same productivity while working remotely

Opmerkingen: We were separated because of the pandemic stay-at-home orders, but quickly came back together through Microsoft teams.

Pluspunten:

*Super easy to figure out how to use - very intuitive, even for low-tech users. *Allows people outside our organization to easily join on an invited video chat. *The video chat feature allows us to have a daily team huddle each morning and keeps the team together and motivated. *Teams allows us to have "chats" with user-defined groups. So every project has its own chat-channel. PLUS it integrates shared files into share-point. *Integration to other Microsoft products is helpful (Sharepoint, Outlook, and more).

Minpunten:

*It was a little buggy integrating into my Outlook. I had to spend hours trying to get the two integrated and was fixed through some complicated settings I had to find. *It currently doesn't have break-out chat-rooms (taking a large group and dividing them into smaller groups). I had heard they are going to add this feature - but it is not yet available. *Since we present to youth, we need the ability to turn off chat-features to each other during presentations. This is not available like some competitors. Large-group webinar features seem to be lacking. *When we have our whole staff of 27, there are times it can lag and have choppy delays. Note: We are not sure if this is our internet bandwidth of Teams. *

Best Team Collaboration Tool

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Microsoft Teams has been awesome. I have been using Microsoft Teams to have meetings at work, to have voice and audio chats with family, friends and my colleagues at work and to host events. Everything has been running smoothly thanks to Microsoft Teams.

Pluspunten:

I like how I can share screens with my audience while demonstrating something, this makes it easy for my audience to be on the same page with me. I also like how one can mute background noise while on call. This is a very cool feature on Microsoft Teams as it makes you audible enough to your audience and avoids unnecessary noise coming from your background. I also like the fact that one can do a live call on Microsoft Teams. It is very cool to do both one on one meetings and at the same time also host live events on Microsoft Teams. I also like how they have the "raise your hand feature that allows the audience to raise their hands if any one has a point of concern or anything they need clarification for. I like how I can easily record my calls for future reference. I also like the fact that I can share files on Microsoft Teams and also edit them on the platform.

Minpunten:

Sometimes admitting someone into a meeting becomes a challenge; you find that even after admitting someone to a meeting it keeps saying "admitting failed". I think Microsoft Teams should work on ensuring that the person responsible for admitting new members into a meeting is the admin or the person that scheduled the meeting, instead of making everyone responsible for admitting new members.

Best application for video calling and remote controlling.

Opmerkingen: Overall Microsoft teams is best application in my perspective. I loved approximately each and every feature.

Pluspunten:

The best thing about Microsoft teams as a video conferencing is the audio and video quality. This application do not consume large amount of memory and space which makes it friendly for the developers like myself. Microsoft teams is easily understandable and easy to use software. Teams provide lots of feature which comes handy to the user such as video calling, chats, screen sharing, polls, note making etc. The most facinating thing that I liked in teams is taking remote access to other collegues.

Minpunten:

Microsoft teams sometimes do not update or wrongly update the status. For example, when I am in a call, sometimes it shown to other users that I am away or awailable. The file structures is very confusing and at some point there is unnecessary storage consuption. The swtiching of the call from mobile to PC sometimes is harder. It may happen that the message is not getting sent even if the network is strong and there is no option to try again.
