Skuid vs. Teams Manager for Microsoft Teams

For anyone looking to build customized user experiences quickly on Salesforce.com and who don't have access or budget for developers then Skuid is an excellent option. Although some investment in license costs and learning is required the pay off comes with the sheer speed and volume of applications that can be built and delivered to the business in short time frames.

For different projects in a big organization different teams can be formed and thus their internal tasks assignments can be done there. It is easy to manage, assign tasks to people in a particular project. People or team leads in multiple projects can share different channels thus maintaining different projects. Users should be refrained of creating new teams just for fun purpose etc. to avoid to much chaos.

• Providing visualizations that tell a story & summarize.

• Release management. Whenever a new version of Skuid is released, upgrading can be a dubious task.
• Support. Skuid does not offer standard support. Instead, you will be required to use the Skuid community or purchase engineering hours.

• I feel like the Shifts app could be more advanced to sync with Microsoft Outlook. It would be great to receive notifications in Outlook for Shifts and be able to approve/deny requests and schedule changes there while it's synced with the Outlook calendar.
• It would be nice if the interface allowed further customization such as assigning colors to the separate channels. Some channels within team sites are rather lengthy and it would be great to group them into color groups.
• Another nice feature would be the option to log in as one of your teammates so you can properly set up their Team account before they log in for the first time.

Salesforce Flows was another way of accomplishing some goals we had but Skuid was much simpler to set up, more intuitive for users, and faster to run. We didn't experience any Apex exceptions or query limits. The only downside to using Skuid vs. Flows was that Skuid required developers whereas Flows can be done by an administrator.

As I mentioned before, we switched to Teams from Skype because it was more reliable. We did not experience interruptions in service especially for those departments working remote.

• Our customers have been very happy with Skuid and it has allowed them to do things that otherwise would have been impossible.

Incentivized

• A centralized platform for the Operation Manager to handle and see the progress of different projects
• This makes it easy to handle everyone at one place thus reducing time in contacting individuals and taking the feedback on progress
• Knowing of any hurdles or bottlenecks in any project by just clicking on any channel and seeing their discussion. Thus guiding them then and there only.
