    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
    Microsoft
    • 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 is a powerful tool for copying files along with their associated metadata and version history. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and supports workflow migrations. However, it may not be ideal for non-technical users. Currently, it does not support Power Platform workflow migrations and lacks a pause function—offering only start or stop options during migration.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    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.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the ShareGate tool, which is used effectively for migration purposes, not only to migrate the contents from SharePoint to SharePoint but also to the contents from file share to SharePoint. This tool helps us review the warnings/errors from the migrations quickly and helps us identify what caused the errors. I hope the ShareGate product team will consider migration of power automated workflows using this tool in future releases.

    In most cases, ShareGate performs well—pages load quickly, and reports are generated in a reasonable timeframe, even for moderately complex environments. Its interface is responsive, and it handles standard migrations and administrative tasks efficiently. However, performance can slow down during very large migrations or when processing high volumes of data, especially if the source or destination environments are heavily customized

    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.

    Cost prohibitive since it's based on size migrated and rather expensive. However, the feature-set is VERY good and has some things ShareGate doesn't.

    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.

    ShareGate scales well across departments and sites, supporting large migrations and tenant moves with strong Microsoft 365 integration. However, it lacks advanced automation, Power Platform support, and pause/resume functionality, which can limit its effectiveness in highly complex or enterprise-scale environments.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    • Share gate has saved my colleagues and I hundreds of hours of migration headaches
    • Share Gates reporting tools as an administrator make my job very very simple.
    • The ROI could be measured alone in man hours saved migrating environments. That alone has probably paid for the licensing cost

It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.Screenshot of a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
