Its “Office 365 Business Premium” option starts at $12.50 a month per user, with a required annual commitment, and its “Office 365 E3” option for enterprises starts at $20 a month per user, also with a required annual commitment.

Let Your Team Give Microsoft Teams a Try

  • Great to easily connect with others, whether they sit across the room or across the country or their location changes day to day.
  • Great for getting work done, especially with remote workers or consultants. Easy to share your desktop, have a quick, ad hoc call or to have a scheduled meeting.
  • Great for sharing and securing Project files, both with internal and external users. Adds some additional communication functionality that just using a SharePoint site in the past doesn't have, not even one of the O365 Groups SharePoint sites.
  • Persistent chat is very useful. Sharing a GIF sometimes shares much more information that just text. And there is valuable information you can review and easily look back to, when necessary.

Best Communication Tool!

  • Microsoft Teams has proven to be a very useful tool for staying in touch and collaborating with others, especially during the pandemic.
  • Teams has increased our efficiency and collaboration in the workplace. Each department has its own Teams group chat so everyone stays in the loop about projects and current schedules/locations.
  • The use of instant messaging when working remotely has eliminated the need to send an email and wait for a response.

Teams makes Teamwork efficient and fun :-)

  • As stated previously in this review, we use it as an external choice, since our official collab tool is from another vendor

  • It allowed us to move away from soft phone and physical ip phones, this lower costs of operations and licensing.
  • Microsoft Teams integrate to multiple apps and modules of Microsoft such as SharePoint, Outlook and O365 apps, this allowed multiple teams to collect and store data easily, this translates to lower cost and efficiency of the different teams, when it comes to documentation.
  • Since Microsoft Teams allowed us to set up meetings and record them, we dont have the need to get any additional tool and this lower cost of operations as well, since it is a centralized app.

  • Teams helped me find an opportunity through collaboration with a colleague sitting out of the US
  • Teams also helped me progress a deal as I could use it to collaborate with my propsect/contact to discuss next steps/questions and also share files etc.
  • Teams helps me work from home 2 days a week which would've been otherwise impossible

Software that makes sense but is not yet perfect.
