Creativity 365 vs Microsoft Teams

Likelihood to Recommend

The platform is well suited for different situations depending on who is using it and with what purpose. It can definitely be used by freelancers for business-related projects, by illustrators and designers for brainstorming sessions and sketches, by students for studying, and by educators for teaching and research. But I think these apps aren't suitable for large-scale projects like editing a feature film or creating an animated feature film.

It is best in screen sharing and improving regularly. Audio and Video calling quality is top notch. But doesn't work well with slow internet connection. Call drops are frequent. Notifications are quick and can be easily viewed at the bottom of the desktop without having to open the application. Integration with outlook is not as good as skype for business needs much improvement in this area.

Pros

The apps are super easy to use.
Creativity 365 software pack encompasses a wide range of functionalities, overlapping between each other to offer a complete toolset.
It is great for capturing and highlighting important website contents with PDF Markup.
Write-On Video is very helpful to spice up my videos and mash photos and videos together to create new content.

Lets employees know who is online and makes it easy to contact them for questions.
Able to see if someone is busy and should not be disturbed which helps save time in trying to contact them or hunt them down.
Allows specific groups to be created where we can share ideas and brainstorm without having to interrupt other employees in the office.

Cons

Since it's a content creation toolset, it would be great if there was a photo editing tool.

Lack of rollout plans from MS that businesses can use to improve user adoption.
Slack still has more connectors.
Meetings could more intuitive and most of the screen is just pictures of people.
The desktop application is very large and absorbs a lot of system resources.
Multiple users cannot share screens at once, one at a time only.
Can't choose where to put files from conversations, they automatically are put in a Teams SharePoint.

Microsoft Teams 7.4

Based on 30 answers

I have deducted one point just so beacuse the GUI of Teams is a bit difficult to understand for a first time user and thus the user takes quite a lot of time to understand the same and use all its features and Secondly, the software is pretty heavy and thus it takes some extra time to do some tasks as compared to other products.

Getting support for any MS Product kind of feels like pulling teeth. I have looked for support on the slowness of Teams to try and resolve it, but there is nothing really out there even from the MS reps other than deleting the hidden appsdata folder for Teams or uninstall/reinstall the software or just use the web-based Teams app.

Airtable has a free version that offers basic functionalities that Creativity 365 does not offer. Airtable integrates with 25 different applications and software to make collaboration easier, while Creativity 365 only integrates with 13. Even though key features of Creativity 365 and Airtable should matter you should also carefully explore the integrations provided by each product. Very often you will already be making use of various kinds of SaaS software in your company and it’s much more beneficial to choose software that integrates well with each other. If you do that you will be able to guarantee an effortless transfer of data between your teams and software used, which can significantly reduce the time spent on migrating between one solution and the next.

Microsoft Teams is very similar to Slack in that they are both chat clients that also leverage team communication. While we use both Slack and Teams at my organization, I find myself sticking to Teams for the most part due to its already built-in integration with the Office 365 suite. Also, Teams is our main communication tool for the IT department. Slack is used in our organization for communicating across teams that are outside of IT. Also, daily tasks like Scrum are used in Slack.

It has definitely reduced work load times, and allows me more time to work on important projects.
The PDF mark up and the ability to write text over videos has made presentations a lot more efficient to create and thus is time saving.
Using NoteLedge to take notes and add photos to those notes helps with being better organized.

We were already paying for Office 365 but now we got a great collaboration tool to go along with it.
We are able to stay connected with employees across the United States and no longer have to fly people back to headquarters for meetings and conferences, saving on transportation and lodging costs.
