"Legends adapt! Communication is key."

3 October 2025

We have been using Teams since we started and formed our company. It helped us grow and stabilize through its own stability and functionality.
Nowadays it will be seamlessly integrated with AI Microsoft Copilot and allows other AI solutions to take over some.funxtions.
Pros:
A legendary team communication tool. The ease of use and stability is and was unprecedented. Customisable options, easy to integrate and control all the involved groups in our meetings. A gem. Now with AI assistance.
Cons:
The lack of certain functions, more.complex sharing option which can be easily replaced by other Microsoft solutions.

"Instant Team Communication"

25 January 2026 New
5.0 Show more details
My overall experience with Microsoft Teams has been positive. By using Teams as a central platform, communication within an organisation can be streamlined, and having fewer applications running helps improve system performance and reduce storage usage.
Pros:
Microsoft Teams offers great value of money as it is included in part of the Microsoft package. It is essential for team communication, in instant messaging, video calls, calls, and online meetings. It is easy and simple to use, and can be used by many individuals and businesses, it is widely used. You can set up channels to improve team collaboration and project management, share files and words quickly. It has a very good search function to find older items. I have an in-built landline which is very useful when working remotely. It identifies any unread meeting or other chats so you can easily navigate and find and read them. It has integrated calendars, OneDrive, apps and co-pilot. You can customize your background and other features giving customisation options.
Cons:
Occasionally Microsoft Teams suffers when there is poor internet connection, but this can be fixed by turning off cameras. It offers an option to give call quality feedback and it feels like they are constantly improving.

"The go-to meeting software."

18 January 2026 New
5.0 Show more details
Teams is the go-to for meetings, online presentations and collaboration. Via video or text chat, it just works properly with no drama. Particularly great is collaboration across documents and files. Easy to use and understand with through customisation options available for advanced users.
Pros:
Slick, works perfectly with other Microsoft products. Is the leader in meeting tech (having taken over from Zoom since the pandemic). The customer support team are very knowledgeable: and offer solutions, suggestions, a thorough explanation alongside solutions. When we experienced issues during setup they called us immediately (from the US) and talked us through the solution, explaining the what and the why. They also assured customisation for our particular setup.
Cons:
Recently Microsoft have removed Teams from some of the lower cost standard 365 packages, offering it as a standalone subscription. While they have slightly reduced the cost of these subscriptions, it remains higher-cost to implement both.

"Trusted, reliable, now more user friendly"

22 January 2026 New
5.0 Show more details
I have noticed a dramatic improvement if Microsoft Teams over the last few years, prompted by the extensive use we more name of video meetings. Overall, the tool has become much easier to use, more approachable. The impression is that Microsoft has taken the time to look at what popular competitors offers and what James them successful to come up with updates to better suit a wider audience. They layout and features are today far more welcoming and relevant to everyday application. These are aspects presenting some more room for improvement, still. What I am most pleased about is however its reliability that is superior to others. It's a trusted tool, for professional and personal purposes.
Pros:
Reliable, consistent, professional. Its features and user friendliness have improved much over the last few years, making it a more versatile tool.
Cons:
Still work to do in the overall look, feel, customisability and fun side of the experience. Better pricing would be a bonus
