Jostle Corporation
I love how Jostle connects our company and allows us to celebrate milestones while also being able to share important messages. Being able to store Job Aids in the library as a resource to your team is amazing, especially when they are out in the field and they do not have a computer they can still look up how to do something.

It's amazing as a daily driver for team communication, and document search/store. Also, if you're doing a lot of LONG meetings and have trouble remembering details, the AI summarization is amazing and convenient. It just works. I'm not saying I always do this, of course, but if I need to 'skim' instead of really digging into every detail from a meeting, the AI-generated summary is generally good enough that I can get away with it.

Cons
Jostle Corporation
  • The biggest drawback that I have been facing for a very long time is that Jostle’s dashboard is not well designed and has all the feature that I needed on the go. I have to go through a lot of navigation panels to actually land on the right page or tool.
  • Secondly, needs more customization with the events function, which has to add more flexibility in operations to be able to customize the calendar. The library needs a lot of customization and a lot of features need to be added like different categories to easily access the different things.

  • The webinars feature has some missing functionally such as the ability for all users to use the Q&A feature (only those with a Microsoft Teams account can use it now), the ability to upload documents for attendees to easily access and download, and the ability for presenters and organizers to easily chat amongst themselves throughout the webinar.
  • The "Channels" organization hierarchy could be more clear. If you have several channels set up, it can get clunky and hard to find the specific channel you are looking for.
  • The MS Planner tool lacks functionality and organization. You cannot assign more than one person to a task and it's confusing when you try to share tasks with people - it would be nice if they were automatically added to someone's calendar.

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

It's a wonderful product that can be used from a computer or from the ease of an app on your phone. I love that my team can have access to Job Aids from their phones while working out in the field. I have not personally had any issues while using Jostle and I highly recommend it for your business.

If you have the full Microsoft Office suite, it works really well because it's integrated well within its ecosystem, but if not, it can be annoying because it tries to open a shared file in the web versions of the file equivalents. The web version is also a bit slow, and the login is very difficult to handle if you have multiple Microsoft or Outlook accounts.

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.

Microsoft Teams offers a much more integrated experience between their chat and video call function compared to Google Chat and Slack. Both other tools are much better for internal communications are they have simpler UI without other features. Whereas Microsoft Teams can be used for more critical conversations, particularly between external companies, and has been very useful in sales conversations which is what we chose it for when speaking to companies that work exclusively through Microsoft.

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.

  • Personally, I would say that by using Microsoft Teams, it upped my collaboration with my colleagues by around 50% or around more than half of what I usually did prior to using it.
  • I had 100% show rate and attendance on all of my meetings in the past 6 months.
  • If I may add, I also have been chattier & collaborative towards my colleagues in past 3 months particularly the month of December when we had huge traffic at work. I would estimate this behavior to have been increased by around 60% than what I usually incur during normal operating days.

Everyone likes to be acknowledged. Shout-Outs provide a contagious way for everyone to recognize his or her peers. You can even recognize teams. Then everyone can pile on with a “like”.Screenshot of Target the right people. 
Thanks to TEAMS® technology, you can target information to specific teams, roles or locations in a click. For example, publish a NEWS story that is only visible to engineers working in Germany.Screenshot of Make info easy to find.
