Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

We use Microsoft Teams for our day-to-day collaboration. All of my meetings are held using Teams. All my team members have been working from home since the pandemic and Teams is our lifesaver. It provides really cool interface with provisions for sharing files/tasks/calendars/whiteboards, etc. It has an Office 365 button that allows us to easily navigate/share mail/access SharePoint, etc.
  • Chats are easy to manage and include an easy search option for retrieving previous chat history
  • Whiteboards have tasks which can be shared with a group
  • Video call quality is excellent, I hardly see any glitching
  • Sometimes pings are not instantaneous, especially when there are more than 100 participants in the Teams meeting
  • Gets hung up once in a while when the system is loading
  • Some headphone/Bluetooth connectivity issues. I turn on my Bluetooth just after receiving a Teams call notification. Sometimes the audio doesn't switch to Bluetooth and sometimes the sound is completely lost after connecting the call. In both cases, I had to completely reboot the system.
  • Improves collaboration within the team
  • Integrated well with Outlook 365 - easy to access mail/PowerPoint/Excel sheets during presentations
  • Notification settings can be improved, for example, have the option to display priority after receiving a notification
Works perfectly for my team, it helped improve our productivity as a team.

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Teams go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Teams again?

Yes

[Microsoft Teams] has a very intuitive interface. I don't have to search for buttons and everything seems to be in the right place.
[Microsoft Teams is] perfectly suited for daily meetings of small size, about 7-20 people. It has an option for scheduling work assignments and tracking progress. The whiteboard really helps with brainstorming new ideas. It is less appropriate when team size is larger than 100. There is a lag in pings when a large number of people type at the same time. Sometimes the time lag can be as high as a couple of minutes. It is also not suitable when the presenter asks a question and looks for an answer on the chat when participants are more than 200.
