Pros

Video calls are great with Microsoft Teams. They've made big improvements over the last year and I rarely have issue with getting on. It's nice when things just work.
The most used functionality is, of course, the chat feature. It does what it's supposed to do and you can create chat groups from whoever you'd like. We use it a lot when there is a special project and a team from various groups get together for a short period of time to get things done.
An overlooked function is the ability to search anything within Microsoft Teams. Any photo, document, or chat can be searched and found pretty easily. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me from having to rewrite something or start over.

Conference calls. No need for formal invites, excellent call quality and reliability.
Virtual rooms - see who's talking with who.
Instant chat - can also use Slack as a backend.

Cons

File Storage is a little clunky for new users, there was a learning curve in understanding the difference between Channels, Teams, Files, and where to communicate. The UI could be improved.
The connection of the file storage with Sharepoint gets tricky, where if we edit a certain file in one location, either it sometimes mirrors the action on the other platform, but sometimes it doesn't. It created a lot of issues.

On rare occasions my co-workers have had problems where they open Sococo and it doesn't recognize when they're speaking. However, restarting the program usually fixes it.
Users can 'knock' on another's 'virtual' office to come in to talk. Essentially, the same as waiting for a person to pick up when calling on a landline. An option to auto-let anyone in who knocks would be useful.

Microsoft Teams 7.3

Based on 181 answers

Microsoft customer support is great, although it can be a bit of a hassle getting to a representative. Also, I have not had issues with Teams to have to give Microsoft a call, so that is positive! Microsoft also has great knowledge-based articles for information on tasks and how-tos on Teams.

Sococo 6.0

Based on 2 answers

Sococo didn't seem to have a strong support line. In comparison to other products, such as Microsoft Teams, it did not regularly check in with us. There should be opportunities to give feedback on the quality of the program periodically and if we had any issues. Sometimes, Sococo would crash, and we would 'restart it' but not know why it happened.

Alternatives Considered

There are many features that I am finding on Microsoft teams, not in google workspace. The main feature that I love is remote screen sharing. While using any software every person/company always focuses on what return they get from that software and what is the pricing. In Microsoft Teams, we found free features also but at the same time, G Suite (Google Workspace) has paid plans only.

WebEx Meetings, Skype for Business, and Google Hangouts all require that you create some sort of "call event" that people can join or leave. Sococo gives you the ability to seamlessly move between meetings within one app and also provide a status of available or unavailable, or better yet, people can just see that you're in a meeting and who you're in that meeting with. This provides the opportunity for a boss to step in and determine a meeting isn't super important, so they can talk to someone in the meeting.

Contract Terms and Pricing Model

Microsoft Teams 5.0

Based on 2 answers

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.

Return on Investment

I think it has allowed us to leverage our Office365 more effectivly since all of the apps are synced together.
It has really allowed us transition away from more formal webex meetings and have a more free flow conversation.
It also gives us a more direct line to our manager if we need there input they can easily join our team chat.

Sococo completely overcame the problem of staying in touch with remote development teams.
Enabled daily scrum meetings, sprint reviews, etc.
Helped keep everybody engaged in the project.
