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.
It seems almost limitless of the apps that you can add. If there is a website for something, you should be able to add it. You are even able to add custom apps that are not in their list of pre-made apps you can add. So I am able to add all the apps and custom apps that I need for doing my jobs. I don't think Rambox would be very useful for people that don't log into web apps often using a web browser. I use this app mostly because I have so many web logins and it makes it easy to manage in one app, instead of logging into several websites.
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.
Sometimes the loading can be slow if you have many apps enabled and starting at first run
Icon's help me find what I need. It would be nice to have an easier way to upload from like a gallery that Rambox hosts rather than to have to find your own off the web.
I wish you could make folders or something within the workspaces for more organization
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
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.
There was one other one that I tried and I honestly don't remember the name. Rambox beat it by far... One reason, I was able to get a lifetime license (Which they have deals for that I think once a year, so keep your eyes open for it), and the other app I tried was a subscription. I really did not want another subscription. Another reason, the other app was not able to do as much as far as custom apps and the loading was much faster with Rambox.
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.
Rambox has saved me time on not having to dig up website URL's and login credentials for quick access to sites when I need to use them. saves time and money in the long run.
Being able to install on a different device and have everything sync also saves me time and money.
Rambox allows you to organize all your apps in different work spaces so I can have several but go the workspace of apps that I need for special use cases. Saves me time to not have to remember which web apps I need for a certain job. Saves me a bunch of time and money.
