Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is being used by our entire portfolio and across all operating companies. I work for an operating company within a portfolio of companies for a large holding company, Danaher. At the highest level, we use Teams as a meta collaboration platform for messaging, contextual collaboration as a progression from SharePoint (we still use SharePoint), as a meeting center that replaced Skype and WebEx, and as a cross-OpCo collaboration platform. It is, for us, the early stages of moving from a collaboration model that is primarily SharePoint based to Teams. One of the surprising uses is as an enablement tool for some of the Office 365 tools like Planner.
- It handles meetings really well--both video and audio.
- The mobile client is a very nice value add.
- The ad-hoc SharePoint that can be used in Teams is not integrated under the governance of existing enterprise versions, so users can get confused about what they are using.
- Integration of Office 365 tools is not fully functional like their standalone instances.
- It has consolidated our collaboration platforms down to one solution that addresses almost all needs.
- It has provided a collaboration platform that is as good on mobile as it needs to be.
Microsoft Teams is a clear winner for robustness and for integration. It has the entire Office 365 toolkit in its corner and for an enterprise level solution, it doesn't have many peers, at least at that level of comprehensiveness. There are some peers that might compete well in the communications category, some in the collaborations category, some in the knowledge base category, but none in the overall integration with Office 365, which is what our platform is fully using.
