Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

We are currently using Microsoft Teams across the organization for messaging, file sharing and video conferencing. We use it to host meetings internally and with outside customers, and have tied our conference rooms into Teams as well so we can use the advanced video conferencing equipment available in these rooms vs just the users' phone or laptop.

We were already in the process of migrating our email and office applications from on premise to Office 365. Because of the inclusion of Teams it made more sense to use it rather than to invest in another 3rd party collaboration tool. We also had a small footprint for telepresence with Cisco so we decided not to expand it.

Did implementation of Microsoft Teams go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Teams again?

Yes

Microsoft Teams is a pretty strong service that can be used for messaging and teleconferencing. The file sharing service that Teams uses is spotty sometimes, not inconsistent, but sometimes unclear as to where a file is or how to collaborate on a file. Notifications of new messages doesn't always work properly so that users don't always see that they have messages.
