A good complementary tool

Rating: 5 out of 10

It is not the first tool I use to make a team meeting, but when I have to use it with external partners, it is an enabler to exchange with contacts using that suite. Large collaboration feature list, and user experience are a plus to make calls and workshops efficient. Another key point is the possibility to use it as an app or a web application, which allow you to exchange with other people using Mac, PC, phone, tablet, etc... so it allows us to cover a large scope of situations.

In my opinion, Avoid like the plague

In my opinion, terrible UX, thing taking more time to learn and more clicks to do than they should - if they are possible at all. I think Chats and Channels have an artificial and unnecessary distinction, and are on different tabs so you can't see them side by side, and you have to click to switch between them all the time.Lots of missing settings - it supports rich text by default, with no option to disable it. Every time you copy-paste from light/dark mode it will copy the color/font/size and often make the message unreadable. You can't edit or even disable hotkeys - so whenever you try to paste without formatting, you are 1 key away from starting a call in the entire chat of possibly hundreds of people. In my opinion, crazy restrictions - I can only pin 15 chats. Why?! It feels MS wants to make chats worse, to force us into channels. Only one pinned message per chat. No threads in chats. No option to group and collapse chats like Slack does. Which means in Teams you will always have to scroll down the list or type in the chat name. Unlike the Slack way of clicking once on a predictable, convenient location.Constant updates which may or may not fix problems, but always make new ones. Recently during 1:1 calls whenever someone shares their screen the call started freezing. It doesn't happen in large conference calls.

Very easy and Fast microsoft tool to use, makes work fun and enjoyable.

Microsoft Teams works well 99.5% of the time. It's easy to use and straightforward. I love the breakout room features in meetings and the chat feature for everyday communication amongst the team. I love the access to gifs and emojis to allow people to express their personality and keep the workplace casual and fun.

On major points. Microsoft Teams perform extremely well. Microsoft Teams have lesser disadvantages compared to other similar apps available. It is very easy to use and navigate. Majority of employees prefer to use Microsoft Teams. It is also wasy to have Microsoft Teams on our mobile phones which help with the connectivity when not working incase of emergencies.
