Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

We use Teams on a daily-basis for a wide variety of meetings: internal and external. Sometimes in group, sometimes 1-1 (with only two participants). The Teams chat and the screen sharing features are almost always used. People turn their cameras on most of the time, and mute themselves when not speaking. Some participants join from their mobile device if they are not at the office or at home at the time of the call.
  • Screen-sharing capability
  • Team chat
  • Force-call attendees who are late to the call
  • The polls functionality is hard to find
  • Presenting a document and seeing people's faces is not easy
  • Muting a participant requires multiple clicks
  • Feeling of belonging to the same team even if members are in different countries
  • Efficient and swift communication between coworkers
  • Smooth and easy onboarding process for new employees (e.g. trainings via Teams sessions)
Teams is the best of the company message tools that I have used so far because it integrates so many functionalities. Teams goes way beyond the instant messaging or video calls features with screen-sharing. It integrated with your calendar, enables you to do task tracking (e.g. Kanban boards) and use channels per topic or project. Additionally, the video call & instant messaging features are more elaborate than on other platforms: you can do polls, search by keyword or sender (the conversation history is well stored), send reactions, and share pictures and other files very easily.

Do you think Microsoft Teams delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Microsoft Teams live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Teams go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Teams again?

Yes

I find Microsoft Teams really well suited for remote work. I work with web developers that are based abroad and Teams is our primary tool for meetings, file sharing and chats. I also use the 'Channels' feature to have discussions and track progress on particular projects and topics. Teams is however less appropriate for communicating and collaborating with people outside of your organisation as sometimes it is difficult to find their contact, and it can happen that their organisation does not allow communications (e.g. file sharing) from external senders.
