Reviews of Microsoft Teams
Proven true to it, Microsoft Teams is the most superior product for team collaboration.
Comments: We are having a phenomenal experience with Microsoft Teams which has helped us to collaborate and work in unity during our projects. Microsoft Teams has provide our team with very reliable communication and information sharing tools that ensure free flow of information during projects. It has boosted our projects management by making it easy for the whole team to always be on the same page.

Fortunately for us, we have not had any challenging moments with Microsoft Teams. We have not had any negative experience.
Very useful tool which extends beyond mere communication.
Comments: Very useful tool which extends beyond mere communication.
Pros:
Very easy to communicate, hold meetings etc. Like the calendar functionality and seamless experience. Beneficial that one can keep everything in one place for a project.
Cons:
Can become difficult when arranging meetings with people outside of an organisation. You have to get used to working with the groups and individuals to avoid confusion. It has been tricky with us as the organisation limits what we can and can't share/save to Teams. It would be great if we could use it fully. Zoom has some better functionality for presenting training but as that is not our focus, Teams was a better choice.
Made for Large Corporate Entities. Not Necessary for Small Teams
Comments: Teams is definitely designed for large corporate management. Everything is linked and they can track your active work status, file editing, and messages. I personally prefer Google and Slack though.
Pros:
It's a well made team communication tool with integration with the Office suite
Cons:
I found it kind of annoying to use. I missed the simplicity of sharing and collaborating with others like you can in Google. I know they have those features, I just found they didn't work as well.
MS Teams Experience
Comments: Overall, MS Teams is a very reliable application as messaging platform including file sharing, calendar, planner, etc.
Pros:
It’s a one stop solution messaging platform
Cons:
Perhaps when there are hundreds of participants on a conference call we have to turn our videos on to stay connected but i believe this is something to do with the connection as well.
Go to video call software.
Comments: After using Skype and Zoom since lockdown, we have settled on Microsoft teams as our main software package for video calls and communication within the company. It works well and has enabled us to keep on top of our communication with each oither..
Pros:
Microsoft teams, integrates well with Outlook and makes planning and organising calls and projects easy and stressfree.
Cons:
Sometimes sharing video can slow down a call, the sound doesn't sync and it can make presenting very difficult or look unprofessional. This is a problem with most video call software and it may be down to broadband connections, but it is an issue that affects a lot of people.
