Microsoft Teams reviews

Fijne communicatie tool

Pluspunten:

Teams is bij ons essentieel voor vergaderen, schermen delen en het delen van documenten. Ook wordt het gebruikt voor de chatfunctie. Documenten synchroniseer ik met mijn desktop waardoor ik altijd makkelijk kan werken in de juiste versie.

Minpunten:

De enige problemen die ik heb gehad was toen ik online lessen gaf en breakout rooms moest maken. Echter bleek dit met de capaciteit van mijn laptop te maken te hebben, dus dat is wel iets om te checken.

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.

Cruciaal voor werken op afstand

Opmerkingen: Ik gebruik Microsoft Teams het meest om gedurende de dag in contact te blijven met collega’s wanneer we niet allemaal op kantoor werken.

Pluspunten:

Het belangrijkste voordeel van Microsoft Teams is dat het ons de mogelijkheid geeft deels op afstand te werken en toch met elkaar in contact te blijven.

Minpunten:

Ik ervaar geen nadelen van Microsoft Teams

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 a go to and best software for collaborating within the team!

Opmerkingen: Its a good collaboration tool which helps you in setting up your day at work from meetings to connecting with your colleagues, creating project work related groups are very good features

Pluspunten:

Features like you can manage your complete meetings note, scheduling meeting and collaborating with team mates and access control for the important work related smartsheets can be done on Microsoft Teams.

Minpunten:

UI can be improved further for the ease of use though its good and it can also be customized as per the requirements of big clients which are using it in their company's world wide

Just what we need to stay connected

Pluspunten:

I know there are other chat features out there, but my office has Microsoft 365, so when we all moved to working remotely, this kept us connected. Now we still all work in different locations depending on the day, so it's really great to continue to keep us connected. We literally chat all day as a team, and helps us all know what is going on moment to moment. We also really enjoy the gifs and emojis in there and oftentimes add fun to our day by having a gif competition. It's just silly fun, but we miss being together in the office, so we're grateful for the fun added through Microsoft Teams. The phone app works well (on Android at least), and it's really easy to tag people in a chat so you can make sure they see it, you can make a message "important" so it brings it specifically to everyone's attention, and you can also react to a comment instead of having to reply to it all the time. It really does work well as a chat function for a remote team.

Minpunten:

I'm sure it's gotten better now, but the video chat features was never really as good as it could have been. At the height of the pandemic, we tried using Teams for our video chat and it didn't have good quality, only allowed a certain amount of screens to be shown at a time, and just wasn't as good as Zoom, so we switched. It does have screenshare, so that's good now, but it doesn't seem to have all the video call qualities Zoom offers.

Teams is an essential part of our day-to-day business

Opmerkingen: We have an automated booking software that works with Teams and is critical to our business, most other companies use it as well so that helps. Also for our internal meetings with overseas staff, it's the go-to tool and books straight in our outlook calender.

Pluspunten:

Microsoft Teams integrates with all our other software seamlessly. When you use tech you want it to be easy to use, straightforward, and fit for purpose. Teams does exactly that and works perfectly for the intended purpose, and a little bit more ;)

Minpunten:

I think that some of the additional features that Teams can offer, like document storage could be better advertised and explained. Most businesses have cloud-based storage solutions but if you could do it all in one place, which it does do, then it could be better explained. we didn't know it existed for a while, but I guess at first we wanted a video calling software and were simply focused don that, rather than what else can it do.

I really hate Teams

Opmerkingen: Terrible. I wish they didn't force mediocre software into their package.

Pluspunten:

It comes with Microsoft. If this was not part of Microsoft I am not sure anyone would ever use it. The chat interface is fine, but worse than Slack. It probably has some native Microsoft integrations (like Sharepoint in the meeting) that make it slightly useful.

Minpunten:

It is so much harder to use on your phone or with your calendar compared to Zoom or Google Meet. In fact we set up Zoom with Outlook to avoid using it when possible. Member management, integrations, recordings all dont work that well. Working with large meetings or people outside the org is a nightmare.

Communication allrounder with a few hiccups

Opmerkingen: Overall, it's nice. The UI is intuitive, and I can use it across the channels (laptop and phone). I like the feature richness and can use some features to cover other use cases (e.g., recording rehearsals in single-person meetings). The software acts up occasionally, and you have difficulty finding the issues - the help forum is vast, so it's not just me.

Pluspunten:

In theory, it has everything you need to stay in contact with your teams—chats, groups, screen shares, meetings, etc. I also love that I can use it to record my demo rehearsals, but create a session just for me and record it.

Minpunten:

Two things: Search for chats and technical hiccups.Search: I often converse with colleagues about a topic via single or group chats or in-channel posts. Let's say I want to re-read through a topic and only remember a buzzword. These search typically finds the line with the buzzword, but I can't just jump to the chat to see the whole conversation with comments just before and after. I must look up the post date and the channel in the search result preview and browse that chat manually.Technical hiccups: Microsoft is releasing features regularly - often beneficial things. But occasionally, you then have issues with stuff that was working before. E.g., I lost the ability to use my Bluetooth headset; people can't get into meetings anymore. Most of these issues get solved by re-installing, but it's a bit of an annoyance since it is also very random who it hits and with what problem.

Microsoft Teams: An Essential tool for the modern workplace, with a learning curve.

Pluspunten:

Well, there are a lot of great things about Microsoft Teams! One of the biggest benefits is that it's a great way to stay connected with your team, no matter where you are. You can chat, share files, and even have video calls, all in one place. It's also great for collaboration, since you can work on documents together in real time. Plus, it's super easy to use, even if you're not a tech expert. Another thing I like about Microsoft Teams is that it's a great way to keep your work organized.

Minpunten:

Well, there are a few things that can be a bit frustrating about Microsoft Teams. One of them is that the notifications can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you're part of a lot of different teams. Another downside is that it can be hard to find files if you're not used to the layout. I also found the interface to be a bit confusing at first.

MS Teams is the best for achieving real time activities in any corporate world

Opmerkingen: Teams is very convenient app for almost all the initiatives that we are launching and collaboration is the biggest hit

Pluspunten:

instant messaging, emojis, scheduling meetings, calendar, groups, recording, user friendliness, announcements.. almost everything

Minpunten:

One thing which i am not happy about is, in a new group created, if we have to make an announcement, we cant enable the notification for all of them in the group. Every individual will have to set their notification on.

Microsoft is doing a great job with Teams

Opmerkingen: Great tools so far, I'm happy that my company decided to migrate to Microsoft.

Pluspunten:

The best thing about Teams is that you get every tools you need in the same app, it's easy to Open Company files from anywhere, collaborate with my team and participate in important meetings from my home or anywhere else. I like Teams I think Microsoft is doing a great job with its collaborative tool.

Minpunten:

No Complains so far, the tools meets everything that I need to work from Home, I have Microsoft Office subscription so it complements reach other and make with life much easier working from home

Team Meet with Mictosoft Teams

Opmerkingen: Simply outstanding and we have achieved our target and beats our estimates last financial year

Pluspunten:

The video and audio quality are outstanding

Minpunten:

There is no words to describe least about this product

Microsoft Teams makes the internal meetings secure and effective.

Opmerkingen: t really helps in scheduling client meetings if other tools like zoom are restricted in the organization. Also it helps in taking remote access of other's system without installing other tools like TeamViewer and any desk so overall this tool is awesome and really helpful.

Pluspunten:

Microsoft Teams is an awesome communication tool. It really helps in smooth organization meetings whether it is audio meeting or video meetings. It also helps in scheduling meetings for clients and internal users.

Minpunten:

CPU/RAM resources utilization and also less storage space due to which performance of the application gets poor.Also, sometimes gets buggy in not showing notifications if notifications are enabled.

Back and Forth Conversation Emails Are a Thing of The Past!

Opmerkingen: Teams has signalled a shift in the way those in our business communicate with one another. It has meant that instead of emailing back and forth, users now use Teams to IM one another. No longer do users attach files to emails and send them to one another; now they simply share files quickly and easily through Teams. This increased communication between colleagues and departments along with increased sharing of resources and collaboration on work projects has improved productivity significantly.

Pluspunten:

Teams is a very user-friendly application that facilitates communication between individual users and whole departments. IM capabilities mean that users can message one another to collaborate on projects and share ideas. Files and documents can be shared with others, and Teams also has audio/calling conferencing capabilities (part of Microsoft's vision to deprecate Skype for Business in favour of Teams) meaning users can meet and share ideas even if they are at home or away from the office. The mobile app allows you to chat to colleagues when you aren't at your desk. If users are part of a departmental team, they can view these teams within the app; they can message other team members, share files, and use other Microsoft-specific apps such as Planner or SharePoint if they have been set up. Meeting scheduling is also available from within Teams, linking up with your Outlook calendar. For administrators, it is easy to deploy and maintain the Teams application using GPOs, and the application itself is self-updating on startup.

Minpunten:

Teams currently installs to the user's 'AppData Roaming' folder, which means that it is installed separately for every user that logs into the computer. It is quite resource intensive to run the applications compared to other communications apps. However, both of these issues have been flagged for review on the Microsoft Teams suggestions and feedback website, suggesting they will be rectified in a future release.

Very Powerful Business Tool

Opmerkingen: Overall this is a very good tool that has changed how projects are run. It is well suited to our new hybrid work situations where some are remote and others are working on-site.

Pluspunten:

I use this product daily for my day job. Each day I attend a minimum of one or two meetings on MS Teams. It is great for hosting conferences and bringing people from around the world together. It is also great for one one one or group calls. I belong to several teams that host their info on MS Teams. It is great to have such a powerful tool.

Minpunten:

The document storage can be a little clunky but that may just be the way that we use it. Does not interface well with our conference room audio/visual equipment when trying to use it as the host for a meeting. Must host from a separate PC, unlike a close competitor's product.

One of the Best Meetings App

Opmerkingen: Overall experience is Good and cons I have explained it in above section.. Those would help in improving the product.

Pluspunten:

1. Best app for meetings until now 2. Transcript works great 3. Meeting can be split into smaller rooms for discussions which is a super positive while working remotely 4. Meeting Notes feature small and powerful 5. Recording works great 6. Admin can control the mute of all the joinees 7. Video Backgrounds encourages all to switch their camera ON

Minpunten:

1. Manor Chat missing feature is: Threads.. The continuous chats are confusing when long conversations go on. Huge drawback 2. Emojis doesn’t automatically popup when typed with colon.. Example, :thumsup doesn’t give thumsup emoji suggestion. 3. Screen sharing sometimes doesn’t work.. Even though screen is shared, other person can’t see it. 4. At times the Teams window is hidden and many find it difficult to reach the window.. 5. In a Group chat there is no option to call only few.. Instead it will call all from the group

Microsoft Teams - Daily Tool

Opmerkingen: As a technical team with consultants and vendors across the world, we are able to roll out projects that previously would have required on site presence and cost. In the last 12 months we have upgraded two core business tools almost entirely through Teams.

Pluspunten:

Love the ability to keep in touch with remote teams / vendors around the world, with the ability to engage in detail quickly if something comes up. Sharing of documents for end user testing feedback (on other software roll out) has been a particular win as it can be done any time and the ability to see changes only - quickly and easily saves a lot of time). We spend many hours a week with consultants / vendors working through teams, with screen sharing probably the most used tool.

Minpunten:

Being a member of multiple teams is challenging (we operate as Guest in supplier Teams environments). If you miss an alert from a different team "live" then you won't see it till you switch to that team again. We use the app within Edge to have two different teams active at once but it would be nice to be able to do this withing Teams somehow.

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.

opens entirely new world of possibilities on how to boost productivity in team settings

Opmerkingen: Microsoft Teams has helped us maintain our level of productivity in these uncertain times of remote work, where team supervision and monitoring protocols have been completely overhauled. The collaboration and practical communication tools it offers has helped us improve in certain areas of our workflow.

Pluspunten:

The best thing about using Microsoft Teams is that it runs perfectly with almost all of the tools we use regularly in our day to day tasks such as the Office Tools; allowing for real time editing, sharing and location of relevant documents as meetings are being held.

Minpunten:

The specifications that enable remote control assignment should be revised to allow for lower capacity devices capable of running Microsoft Teams to equally execute this function as well. Also, the installation process could automatically adjust the system settings of the operating system that may hinder the execution of this function fully.

Still some kinks to work out when collaborating with others

Opmerkingen: It's great for scheduling video calls and for quick feedback or approvals when trying to cut down on inbox clutter. But your organization must create rules for which content belongs in Teams, and which on email... otherwise you'll find yourself having to search multiple sources for documented approval or that one PDF you need to forward along to another user.

Pluspunten:

Teams has a useful mobile feature that allows me to answer questions on the go. Individual chats as well as "teams channels" for multiple users are meant to streamline collaboration, including live document editing by multiple users. Similar to Zoom, the platform also allows for video calling that integrates with Outlook and integration with Sharepoint means that documents that are difficult to find in Teams are still backed up on the cloud.

Minpunten:

Teams is a bit clunky. Editing documents within the platform is glitchy, especially when using a Mac - PowerPoint content looks as if it's bleeding off the page, and fonts are automatically substituted if one user hasn't installed the correct fonts, meaning that it's still often necessary to download PowerPoints and word docs for finalization. It's also easy to become overwhelmed. Users must receive extensive training - creating a chat for multiple people is one thing, while creating a Teams channel is entirely another (although their functions are on the surface level, the same). When a new teams channel is created, so is a new email address. My enterprise conducted months of training and many users, especially those who are less confident with tech, still expressed frustrations or made mistakes that necessitated IT involvement to fix. We've also experienced issues with video call feedback and dropoff.

Best product for collaboration

Opmerkingen: This is my favorite application and it is an amazing tool. I highly recommend it.

Pluspunten:

Microsoft Teams is an amazing collaboration product and it keeps getting better. From being able to do Live events to its integration of applications, Teams is my "go-to" app for communicating with my teams. The Video Conferencing is stellar and Microsoft keeps adding more functionality. Schools get Microsoft for free and there is not reason they should be using Zoom.

Minpunten:

Unlike Zoom, the ability for webinars is lacking. Zoom has everyone beat here and Teams really could use this feature for Live Events. Also, Teams needs to integrate with Microsoft Bookings.
