Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

At my company, we use Teams primarily to instant message one another across the entire organization. If you need a quick answer it is preferable to email. We also use it however to store and share documents. It is also great at taking and organizing notes. It also has task board functionality.
  • Integrates with Outlook and SharePoint
  • Instant messaging
  • Stores documents and notes
  • Hard to tell if someone is actually "away"
  • Missing some Lync functionality
  • Hard to find in SharePoint where docs are kept
  • Mobile app
  • Seeing people's status (away, available)
  • Integration with other tools such as Outlook and SharePoint
  • Increased collaboration
  • Helped with sharing documents
  • Better organization of shareable content
  • Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and now part of Microsoft Teams
I have mainly used the Microsoft messaging tools so I can only compare between them. Overall, I like Teams better than the older versions such as Skype for Business. They did drop one or two features but I can't even remember what they were now. The ones they added are great like document storage and task boards.

Did Microsoft Teams live up to sales and marketing promises?

Would you buy Microsoft Teams again?

Yes

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Microsoft SharePoint, Notepad++
Great instant messaging tool. It does a lot more than that too. You can call, screenshare, and store documents in a linked SharePoint site. Integration with Outlook means you can see who's available and who may be out of office before sending them an email. I like having the mobile app on my phone to stay connected.
