Microsoft Teams

What differentiates Microsoft Teams from other similar products?

Microsoft Teams provides an endless list of features and tools that I have not seen one product have all integrated without having to purchase multiple software. Additionally, all of the Microsoft products are integrated which makes it very efficient and beneficial as most organizations use Microsoft on a daily basis.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of the best new features I use with Microsoft Teams are the ability to turn on live captions. This is extremely important as we are transitioning back to the office and I can't always have my volume all the way up. My second favorite feature is the share content tray which is extremely beneficial to add documents to groups where the employees may not have access to the same servers.

With the constant updates and upgrades Microsoft Teams provides I have not found anything that I dislike.

Anyone who either already has collaboration/meeting software or nothing at all, Microsoft Teams is the choice for an all in one product.

Microsoft Teams is tightly integrated with other Microsoft products like Outlook, sharepoint, Office etc. I especially like the outlook calendar integration. Everything required for collaboration is available at one place. During this pandemic, i could not think of anything without Teams.

The mobile app of Teams is fantastic. It works well even at low bandwidths. The application is light and doesnot drain my battery. I used to be on calls for hours on phone and it works like a charm.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The recording feature can be made more intelligent. Sometimes people forget to turn off the recording of a group call at the end of the call. Eventhough no one is speaking or nothing is happening for hours, the app keeps recording, if someone forgot to leave the call. After some time the recording must switch off by itself and display the message that recording is switched off.
