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.

Microsoft Teams and no Team Spirit
- Teams works very well with the rest of the Microsoft suite
- Real time collaboration and document editing
- Less expensive than Zoom
- The overall meeting experience is not good
- Limited channels
- Tough to keep up with naming conventions
- No picture enhancement

Teams is the best - but not perfect
- Virtual meetings - ease of set up and execution
- File sharing! We build channels for projects, and being able to invite only project members is huge!
- Peer-to-peer communications - being able to "ping" one of my colleagues, either text, video or call-only, on-demand, is what runs our business.
- Collaborating with external project members; the process and functionality is still not obvious, nor is it optimal - I would call it "kludgy"
- Creating different Channels for projects is still a bit wonky, that area of fleshing out freedom to create new channels in a more open directory metaphor seems lost - everything tends to be too tied to your initial folder permissions which is stifling
- Scheduling meetings from within Teams - all too often I schedule meetings that include outside collaborators/stakeholders, and they simply never get the invites. I have to copy the meeting info, create a calendar event in Outlook, add in the meeting info, and add the external stakeholders from there. It would seem an easy fix to better integrate Outlook calendar and Teams calendar.

Microsoft Teams - Excellent Collaborative Tool
- It has a presentation mode, video recording, and the recordings, as well as the transcripts, are stored in the cloud.
- Microsoft Teams is simple to set up and manage. Excellent quality for video and phone calls.
- I also like how it connects to Outlook so you can view your calendar there.
- Switching between presentations and screens is a bit difficult.
- It slows down the laptop. When I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time for Microsoft Teams to load and I don't have to click on it to access it.
- There should be an easier way to send recordings outside of your organization other than downloading from Stream.

Could do better
- removes the pain from scrolling through endless long mail threads with mail signatures taking up most of the screen space
- quick way to reach out to colleagues via message or voice call
- integration with landline phone
- share documents with certain colleagues or external partners
- sometimes choses the wrong microphone (internal instead of headset) resulting in bad audibility
- new version 2 lacks some features from old version
- often it doesn't ring in the mobile app

In principle I am very disappointed when using Microsoft Teams.
- On a desktop or laptop computer I think it does work quite well but, in my experience, on mobiles it's a different story
- On my two mobile devices it just doesn't work. But the company is committed to the use of Microsoft Teams at the moment.
- Due to employee complaints we may move to another app.
- Hardware that was installed to support Microsoft Teams meetings in our meeting rooms do not work at all. I think it's horrendous.
- In my opinion, if people out there willing to spend money on it, I would be very careful and I would propose a proper assessment to be done prior to making an agreement.

Teams makes Teamwork efficient and fun :-)

I'm on Team Teams!
- Organisation
- Co-ordination
- Communication
- Sometimes employees complain that online status sticks on offline when they are not and obviously this can cause big problems when employees are remote and it looks as though they aren't working when they are

- we schedule the calendar for the whole month for planning the activites

- Setting up meetings and record them
- Integrates natively with Outlook and one drive/Sharepoint
- Create teams channels for specific tasks/projects and the conversation will be backed up along with files.
- When you download files, the application can lag and even crash, this portion needs to be improved.
- One to one calls cant be recorder unless you set up a meeting.
- slowness when opening a file in the app, like a excell sheet.
- Add meeting reminders when the meeting is about to start similar to Outlook.

- Audio calls both internally and publicly (PSTN)
- Group meetings with audio/video/screen-sharing
- Chatting with contacts
- Providing present status of team members so that you know if colleagues are available or busy
- Providing call health settings to identify the round trip time and percentage of received packet loss
- Multi-organization account access is poor because it requires logging out in order to switch accounts
- Lacking presence status and file access to account that one is no longer logged in to
- Add ability to import a customized avatar
- Provide a means for chatting with other members of our team
- Schedule teams meetings without need for a 3rd party app
- Create teams groups to disseminate information
- Teams meetings frequently drop calls and needs to be re-dialed.
- Searching for words in Teams is not the best.

- Colleague Search
- Instant Messaging
- Voice Calls
- Video Calls
- Access publicly available information
- I'd like the option to keep myself "available" even when I'm away from my laptop so everyone knows they can reach out to me. It doesn't have to show me as "away" every time I start using my browser or step away from my laptop.
- A full screen presentation mode
- The option to see thumbnails of all participants, regardless of the number
- Great user experience
- Chat functionality embedded within each meeting
- Well sync'd with Outlook
- Can crash every now and then
- Camera freezes - need to fix this defect which seems quite regular
- Mobile app video call experience is lacking

Software that makes sense but is not yet perfect.
- One meeting place for teamworking
- Instant messaging between members of a team
- Intégration with OneNote
- Intégration with ToDo
- Conflict with the choice of input when using headphones with an integrated microphone and an independent microphone, a problem that does not exist on zoom.
- Changing from one access to another for people with multiple accesses to Microsoft Office 365
- Access to the Teams universe for people outside the company who must have the same levels of access (subcontractor, volunteers in the case of non-profit organizations).

- Connect people immediately
- Has both video & audio functionality
- Intertwined with Outlook
- Restarts are almost expected
- Not too glitchy
- Honestly excellent product overall
- provides ability to organise folders and files (good front end to SharePoint)
- provides great use of communication between team members and external parties
- provides great integration with other apps such as Microsoft power platform, Miro etc.
- The search function could be made better- especially for finding things within chats
- It is a little annoying going to previous pages within Microsoft Teams, at times i feel like it would be nice to open things in a new windows
- sometimes Microsoft Team crashes - but very rarely and that can be a pain

Amazing software for team management and collaboration
- It is very simple to use and setup.
- Lot of options available for the organisers like Breakout rooms etc.
- It has a user friendly interface.
- The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
- It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
- It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.
