Product Details

What is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams combines video conferencing software with team collaboration tools. The communications platform allows MS Office users to conduct conference calls and share files via SharePoint, and join or initiate a group chat.

Microsoft Teams features three tiers of pricing. The first is a subscription-less, free option that offers the same features as the other two tiers but does not offer administration tools like analytics and access to on-premise servers, or support features like 24/7 phone and web support. The second and third tiers are based on the size of your business and its conferencing needs. 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.

Key Features
Meetings: Meet with teams of 10 or 10,000. Host audio, video, and web conferences with anyone inside or outside your organization or go big with live events.

Calling: Its Phone System feature enables PBX capabilities including call control in Office 365 and replaces on-premises PBX. Its calling features are customizable to fit your organization’s unique needs.

  • Stream is a little clunky and not part of the standard enterprise license
  • Multiple views in one browser capability is badly needed (example: I need chat, files, project blocks, calendar all open at the same time, but it won't let me do that). To get multiple panels, I have to run 3-4 different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge) concurrently, plus the app.
Microsoft Teams has completely improved our team's workflow. We are far more productive collaborating now then we've ever been.

  • The "left hand" is able to know what the "right hand" is doing. It's wonderful.
  • Our team is able to accept triple the work volume than before.
  • Our only concern is MS Teams is fast becoming a potential central point of failure.
MS Teams is backed by a trusted name/company. Products and apps inside the MS Teams world appear to have been carefully thought out. The competitors to MS Teams don't come close.
It still does not allow me to run multiple sessions (tabs) in the same browser so I can easily copy and paste content between Chat, Calendar, Projects, Office, etc). I still have to run different browsers at the same time plus the MS Teams App so I can have dedicated windows for chat, calendar, etc. This is quite a nuisance for many of us.

  • Copy and paste between chat, calendar, project management - I have to run multiple browsers and dedicate each to a function so I can easily copy and paste between them.
  • Setting up a meeting in MS Teams Calendar is slightly cumbersome.

Very well!
It does not appear to have a limit to how many teams and employees we can have using it.
Rare, but outages do happen.
Sometimes about once a week I get a message that says "Sorry, there seems to be something wrong". But it goes away in a few minutes.
