"All-in-One Communication Hub with Great Microsoft 365 Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

What I like best about Microsoft Teams is that it brings most of our day-to-day communication and collaboration into one place. I can use it for chat, meetings, file sharing, and team discussions without having to switch between multiple applications. The integration with other Microsoft 365 tools is also very useful, especially when working with documents and collaborating with teammates. I also like the option I can format the message in the code style by using the code tag. I just have to copy the code and paste it; the code tag will automatically detect the code language and format it accordingly, which helps me a lot. Additionally, the AI auto-correct of my sentences in the chat and captions generation in the meetings helps me better while talking with clients. Overall, it makes it easier to stay connected with the team and keep track of ongoing work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Teams is that closing the application doesn't always mean it has completely stopped running. The Teams window closes normally, but it can continue running in the background. When I'm done with work and don't need Teams anymore, I sometimes have to manually check the background processes via task manager and close it completely. This can also have an impact on laptop performance, especially when I already have other applications running. It would be better if Teams handled this more efficiently when the application is closed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Teams solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Teams helps solve the problem of keeping communication and collaboration in one place. For example, I use Teams to quickly discuss work with teammates through chat instead of sending emails for every small question, and I can jump into a meeting directly when a discussion needs more context. I also use it to share files, code, and collaborate on documents without having to send multiple versions back and forth. Another benefit is the integration with Outlook and other Microsoft 365 tools. Meeting invites, chats, files, and calendar information are connected, which saves me time when switching between different tasks. It is especially useful when working with people from different teams in different time zones because I can create a group or channel for a specific project and keep the related conversations and files together.
