Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

Our creative team uses Microsoft Teams to collaborate on daily projects, communication, and also team meetings. We're able to do screen shares for quick training sessions or hold larger team meetings where everyone can join in. Since COVID, our team has gone 100% remote so being able to connect online with Microsoft Teams has been a lifesaver.

Pros

  • Online sharing.
  • Online screen shares for training purposes.
  • Quick communication tool.
  • Excellent connectivity with few interruptions during meetings.

Cons

  • I sometimes have a hard time viewing both the meeting screen and chat window at the same time.
  • There have been times when someone in a meeting will totally lose their connection.
  • At times the sound quality is not what it should be which makes it hard to hear each other.
  • Screen share.
  • Chat feature.
  • Screen recordings.
  • 100% team communication.
  • Remote file sharing.
  • Meeting scheduling, 1x1's, chat, phone calls.
Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during meetings.

Our entire company has been able to communicate via Microsoft Teams for large company meetings and use video to connect with each other. We've held large team meetings as well where everyone joins in with video to be able to see each others' faces from time to time since we're all now 100% remote. Microsoft Teams is an excellent communication tool between myself and my employees. The one thing I'd say that is a drawback is that my team member and I had a personal conversation and an IT person was able to view and even share our conversation with other bosses. I thought this was inappropriate and I wish there would be a way to be "alerted" when someone is spying in on your conversations!
