Microsoft Teams

I like the integrations with the rest of the Office 365 stack.

What differentiates Microsoft Teams from other similar products?

Microsoft Teams has a collection of powerful tools that offer a great solution for team communications. We can certainly call-out Team's notification settings, which far surpass other options we have used previously. We do a lot of interdepartmental messaging that could easily get covered up with other, incoming questions/responses. Teams offers a simple, yet dynamic notification aid that can be tailored to a user's exact needs. Our productivity increases when messages don't get buried.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Our team has had great success with the chat feature. We use a variety of teams and their corresponding channels to focus our staff on their appropriate projects. The wiki feature has also been a great addition to how we interact with one another. It works just like any other wiki page editor, cutting down on training time, which a big benefit for us.

The chat message searching leaves something to be desired. For example, if we try to search for a three-day old message by keyword, our results don't always get us to the exact location in the chat thread history.

Please consider taking full advantage of Microsoft Team's channel analytics. This internal application gives both a great overview of team interactions but also some granular data that can be used for quality assurance efforts.
