IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
It's like quick chatting, like reaching out to someone more quickly than email.
Pros
- You can upload documents.
- Tagging and tag people.
- You can create other channels to reference individual projects really easily.
Cons
- Functionality or just things to see done. I think the notifications are maybe a little cumbersome. Doesn't always need to notify me if someone just likes some message. So I would say that.
Likelihood to Recommend
Basically, if ever you need a quick chatting product or like something that is, you need to reach out to someone more quickly than email. It's great.

- Stores shared documents
- Easy to connect with peers
Cons
- Chats are always there and cannot be deleted
- Status sometimes changes automatically
- Doesn't always link up right away with mobile app

Rating: 10 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have many employees all over the world and we need to be able to collaborate and used the tools to brainstorm and show working sessions as well and distribute information and organize it.
Pros
- Copilot does a great job of taking notes
- Integration with Microsoft Teams Rooms has been a game changer for white board sessions
- The ability for our users to all be able to collaborate virtually on a white board.
Cons
- Without budget for MTR, it could be difficult to leverage all collaboration options.
Likelihood to Recommend
White board sessions are needed to resolve issues. It's been amazing experience to be able to breakout into rooms virtually, but not only that, if you have Microsoft Team Rooms you can leverage that even more, and for the people not in person, they can also write on the "white board"

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
i use Microsoft Teams everyday with my collegues for chat, and for meetings, it's efficient, and works perfectly.the only main problem is when some external person don't know how to use it, but generally it's going great.Microsoft Teams is compatible with Outlook,which makes using both software easier.
Pros
- meetings
- chat with coworkers
- schedule
Cons
- its design
- more camera backgrounds
Likelihood to Recommend
Microsoft Teams is very well suited for meetings with collegues and external persons, very easy to use, don't need necessarly a super connection to work properly.
but i think that Microsoft Teams needs more graphic improvment, a new visual identity.
finnally, i can say that Microsoft Teams is better than Zoom.

A good complementary tool
Rating: 5 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Microsoft Teams for meetings with external partners like web agencies or talent acquisition firms to hire people for my teams. It allows me to exchange with people that are not based in my city and see if we have an opportunity to work together and if we can bring value on the table.
Pros
- Web or application tools for meeting
- Allow team meeting with many people
- Interactive possibilities: screen sharing, chat etc...
Cons
- Video quality can be improved
- Call reliability / stability
- Application seems useless in many context regarding web app feature coverage
Likelihood to Recommend
Microsoft Teams is a good choice if Microsoft suites are fully implemented in your firm's software landscape, it allows native document sharing capabilities with SharePoint, Office, Outlook, etc...
If you are using Google Suite, the story is not the same one: the Google Meet feature is the native solution and offers the potential benefits of Microsoft Teams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Microsoft Teams is used to communicate primarily in our organization. For chats, video/audio meetings.
Microsoft Teams helps to connect to all the employees working worldwide in the organization. It also keeps the history of chats which is useful to find older messages. It also helps to share files across the organization
Pros
- Microsoft Teams help with chatting with other employees
- It helps with video meetings.
- It helps share files.
Cons
- There is definitely room to improve connectivity issues while joining a meeting.
- Many times the screen freezes and the application stops working. Reloading the application usually works.
- Raise hand button sometimes doesn't show up on the screen. Its easy to miss someone, if they have raised a hand that doesn't show up on other's screen.
Likelihood to Recommend
By far the best platform for chatting, break-out rooms and meetings. Its easy to operate even for someone who is not a tech savy.
I would not use Microsoft Teams for sedning very sensitive data as it doesn't provide a lot of protection. It's a bit unsafe to share sensitive data of organization.

Microsoft Teams work
Rating: 9 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Since Covid, we have daily meetings with everyone to discuss business updates and Microsoft Teams allows us to all be in the "same room" without physically being in the same room but still be able to visually see the information needing to be shared amongst everyone.
Pros
- Meetings
- Direct Messaging Chat
- Calendar reminders
Cons
- Load time
- Join Meeting on mute automatically
- Less activity notifications
Likelihood to Recommend
I just like the format of meetings in Microsoft Teams better than Skype and Webex and similar programs. The direct calling and interfacing is nice as well as functionality with screen sharing.

Collaboration at its finest
Rating: 8 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Microsoft Teams is something that is used daily for me. We are a team with a mix of work from the office and home employees. We use Microsoft Teams as a way to communicate with each other, share information and ideas and just keep in touch.
Pros
- Ease of use
- Easy to share files
- Love the integration of emojis and gifs
- Microsoft Teams meetings are easy to organize and keep participants engaged
Cons
- Microsoft Teams can be glitchy and show inaccurate status. It will show away however people are present. This is often only fixed after a restart.
- Gifs and images don't load or aren't easy to search for.
Likelihood to Recommend
Microsoft Teams is great for large meetings and even including corporate training. This saves time and money by not having to fly and house participants all over the country and perform the training virtually.
