Microsoft Teams Phone Reviews

“So good!”

Pros

Layout is very user-friendly. Posting comments, sending pictures and checking notifications to see whether they're in the office all work really well.

Cons

One thing that bothers me is the logout process. When I try to sign out, it doesn't fully log me out. It could be a glitch on their side but I'd still prefer the app to log me out completely.

“Works well for us...”

Pros

It's very simple to use and does an excellent job of keeping our remote team connected.

Cons

Honestly nothing comes to mind here, I don't have any complaints.

“It's a good product”

Pros

The apps have been very stable, with clear video and audio during calls and I also appreciate that it works properly in a web browser.

Cons

Can take a while to launch and the licensing setup feels a bit more complicated than it should be.

“teams keeps collaboration flowing”

Pros

MS Teams plays a big role in how our company works together day to day. It connects really well with Outlook, SharePoint and Planner so we can schedule meetings, share documents, manage projects and keep files organized all in one place. The screen sharing feature is especially useful particularly when working alongside Planner and SharePoint.

Cons

A part that gets frustrating is the file copy/move interface. It shows recent or favorite locations but there's no practical way to search for a folder or destination if it's not already suggested. A basic file-explorer style navigation would make this much better.

“staying connected all day”

Pros

Lets me stay in touch with my students outside of class whenever they need help with assignments. It's also something we rely on throughout the day to communicate with other teachers and the administration.

Cons

My only issue is that new message notifications don't always pop up when they should.

“made remote work easy”

Pros

Working remotely is much more manageable because Teams keeps me connected with everyone at work.

Cons

The GIF library feels pretty limited and it seems like some options are filtered out.

“clean app design”

Pros

Since it's built right into Microsoft 365, it works perfectly with Word, Excel and the other apps which makes collaborating with others really efficient.

Cons

It can make your computer run slower especially if you're using an older machine.

“excellent cross-platform team chat”

Pros

Works really well across all kinds of operating systems. It comes with a full set of features needed to stay connected and communicate with the team. I haven't noticed any latency so far which has been a big plus.

Cons

At startup, it does show a few minor issues and slight delays.

“great platform for team planning”

Pros

It's been a dependable platform for our company and others as well. It works nicely with other Microsoft tools and brings communication, scheduling and project planning into one central place.

Cons

The part I like least is how the calendar handles opening events. Each time I open one, it jumps back to the current week which makes it frustrating to pull and move details from a previous week especially when doing reporting.

“Perfect for teamwork”

Pros

Really useful tool for collaboration and getting work done efficiently.

Cons

There's honestly nothing I dislike about the program.

“works well for broad compatibility”

Pros

A lot of people already use Microsoft so it works well for a wide range of users.

Cons

It uses a lot of system resources and without a powerful processor, it can really slow your computer down.

“all-in-one workspace”

Pros

Having so many tools in one place is a big plus. Chat, video meetings, file sharing and app integrations are all built into the same workspace which helps keep everything more efficient.

Cons

One issue I keep running into is with my external webcam on the new Teams app. It worked really well in the older version but now it lags a lot and I haven't been able to find a solution.

“free features win”

Pros

Using it for messaging and as a central place to store and access documents has been really simple.

Cons

The Teams Meeting feature could be a bit more adaptive since it can be confusing at times. The Outlook integration also feels a little odd.

“everyone loves it!”

Pros

Microsoft Teams has been really valuable for building a collaborative space where everyone can work together. It helps keep communication across our organization consistent and having the ability to share resources in one central place makes things much more manageable. For students, it works well as a single place to create and grade assignments, build digital literacy skills and access resources and links without having to jump between different platforms.

Cons

When it comes to my younger elementary students, I still prefer the more welcoming and child-friendly feel of Google Classroom over Teams. If Microsoft Teams offered a way to make the overall environment more suited to younger children, I would be much more likely to use it with that age group. That said, it has still been an extremely useful tool when working with adults.

“familiar and user-friendly setup”

Pros

It's very simple to use especially if you already work with Microsoft Office.

Cons

Every now and then, there's some lag when joining a Teams video call and on rare occasions the connection drops.

“solid team messaging for small orgs”

Pros

Works really well as a messaging and project collaboration platform especially for smaller organizations. The way it brings team communication and project work together feels efficient and practical.

Cons

Integrations can be inconsistent and don't always function the way they're supposed to.

“Im impressed”

Pros

Teams works really well when you're collaborating with others who already use the Microsoft platform. It's also a solid way to message teammates without having to share any of your personal contact information.

Cons

The downside is that not everyone had Microsoft available. We also attempted to use it for video meetings but since many people were already used to Zoom, it was difficult getting them to log in and set everything up.

“stands out!”

Pros

Brings everyone in my organization together in one place through centralized corporate communication channels and that has kept productivity high around the clock.

Cons

I haven't run into any problems with Microsoft Teams in my day-to-day work and I don't expect any issues anytime soon.

“Easy real-time collaboration”

Pros

It is an efficient platform for communication and teamwork. The part I find most valuable is its meeting and video functionality. Its videoconferencing capabilities are quite advanced, allowing not only high-quality video calls but also features like meeting recordings, screen sharing and real-time captions.

Cons

At times, I run into message synchronization issues especially when the internet connection is unstable.

“simple layout”

Pros

The layout is adaptable and well organized so it's simple to keep track of everything you need. Being able to add a second device to a meeting is a really valuable feature too.

Cons

One thing that gets annoying is the Teams status sometimes switching to "Be right back" even while I'm actively working on another screen. It usually won't change back to "Available" until I click back into the Teams window.
