Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

We use Microsoft Teams daily to communicate between company and team members. I have also used teams personally to communicate with family and friends worldwide. I have not run into any issues using the product. I have been able to share files and pictures

Pros

  • IM
  • sharing files, pictures
  • replacement for skype for global IM

Cons

  • search feature for contacts based on email - not work related
  • ability to set an away response when unable to timely respond directly
  • collaboration between team members
I like the communication and filesharing. Could use more autoreply settings when you do not reply within x minutes, to send an automated reply like: I'm away from my desk at the moment. I will respond as soon as I get back. If urgent contact xxx-xxx-xxxx or call me directly
