Microsoft
It is well-suited for an organization with many team members who are scattered throughout different locations. It offers organization and clarity to projects, files, and tasks in one centralized location. It would be a bit of an overkill for a small organization where everyone is in the same location 5 days a week

Cons
Microsoft
  • the calendar function can improve it's not 100% feature parody with outlook.
  • Better search for documents and contact with AI
  • offer the same security for document sharing as is available in outlook. Especially concerning PII and documents shared to "external" contacts.
  • Contact is hidden away in "Calls" and needs to be better exposed like it use too.

  • In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
  • If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
  • Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
  • In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
  • The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

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

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.

We've been a long time user and are always tweaking our automation to gain efficiencies while improving our service levels. It's pretty easy to come up with what you want to do and then do it yourself. Though, if you're looking to do some really tricked out automations, use of a Zoho Consultant would be a better idea as you'll get exactly what you need much quicker.

Support Rating
Microsoft
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.

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

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 is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product. Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors and also simultaneously take care of billing and contract management with all of them. It is much easier with Zoho One

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.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • Because our unit decided to go all in with Microsoft Products, the integration and flow of our communication and files are seamless.
  • Microsoft Teams is very secure. Only those who are logged in with their university credentials can access the files we share and the events we host. Therefore, we don't have to worry about privacy and security for the virtual events we host.
  • If our virtual events are open to the public, joiners outside the organization often struggle to join because Microsoft Teams is not the most familiar tool amongst the public.

  • It is hassle-free to access, which saves you a lot of time and manual effort to get the data accessible.
  • Lead status and follow-ups in one place- what you require is a paradise for the Sales team.
  • Reduces the work of HR a lot.
