Wide range of features given by Zoom as compares to Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex and Skype for business. it is very easy to use and very easy to set up as well, most of the features are very good and easy to adapt. And knowledge sharing to freshers is easy using Zoom application.

I feel like there is no major drawbacks of Class for Zoom app. However some of the area it has outshines well where some of its performance needs more enhancement. It is best to use for Corporate Training, higher education or certification program, skills development workshop. However its less suitable for promotional meeting where large number of participants are present. It is not suggested for old systems since lagging issue is there. Self paced learning its not suitable.
I would say that Microsoft Teams is much more beginner friendly than other communication and collaboration tools. I find it so much easier to use and it has so much more options to customize it to your liking. I have been using Microsoft Teams for years now and every time that I have a meeting, I always default to it.
The calendar on Teams doesn't always "talk" to the calendar in Outlook. You'd think they'd be mapped to each other but I consistently run into issues where they don't sync.
Teams video calls consistently have issues with host permissions. I've listed co-hosts ahead of time, and we still run into issues with other people downloading attendance or pulling Poll data or recordings.
Teams had a good idea of pre-scheduling messages in the chat, but that feature is buggy and I'm often unable to check if the message was pre-scheduled -- the preview disappears and then will fire off anyways which makes it difficult to prepare for meetings or edit items.
it's not possible to pre-schedule Polls. We use the poll feature to collect CSAT scores, and the facilitator currently has to remember to manually click the button --there's no way to schedule out the poll to automatically be sent out.
Breakout functionality is incredibly clunky
Their group/channel functionality is clunky and hard to use
Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product
I give this rating since I find it productive since I am using it. It gives a all new experience for training and development of professionals. Many features available which can help us analyze the learner performance. It has a bit learning curve for a new bee. however it is overall good for short to medium size organization to enhance their team learning skills.
How I wish I had discovered Microsoft Teams before, and what it can do, especially in an organization that runs on Microsoft 365. The ability of Teams to seamlessly work with other tools like Power BI, OneDrive, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint is just amazing. My favorite part is copy-pasting the URL, and it is not the link that shows up, but the file name. It just makes whatever I share more accessible to the recipient.
The overall support provided by Microsoft for Microsoft Teams has been quite good but there is still some room for improvements. Microsoft needs to proactively work on fixing the open bugs in order to provide a seamless experience to the users. But over the service and experience provided by the Microsoft team have been quite satisfactory.
Class for Zoom was a very clear improvement over just plain Zoom. The additional features make for a much richer experience overall. One main reason Class for Zoom stood out over other similar products is how seamlessly everything was integrated together. This is very important as the more clunky it feels the less engaging the meeting will feel and Class for Zoom did a great job at not feeling clunky.
They have similar features, but Microsoft Teams works relatively seamlessly with other MS products that we also use such as Office and MS To Do. Microsoft Teams is easy to set up an share meetings with both internally and externally. Microsoft Teams also gives us more options when collaborating within my team and outwardly with other teams.
Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.
I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.
Microsoft Teams has helped an entire company become more efficient, which saves the company money and frees up time for workers to focus on other areas.
By having a secure place to store information used by multiple departments, not only is time saved searching for information but also ensuring that an entire organization has access to the same and accurate information, which prevents errors and confusion.
Using Microsoft Teams you can work remotely and still be able to effectively communicate with your coworkers and not miss any important notifications or information.
