"Microsoft Teams Keeps Our Team Connected with Chat, Channels, Meetings, and Integrations"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is a great communication tool for staying in touch with my team every day. The platform has chat, and it also offers channels where you can share files and even organize them into folders. It includes a meeting space and a calendar that help keep you updated and on track. Within my team, it was very easy to implement, and we didn’t run into any issues. I use it every day I’m working, and my team does too. The integration with other tools, such as Loop, has also been a great choice for us—we have many tables, and we can always organize them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

I dislike the download pop-up because it doesn’t go away when I press the Esc key on my keyboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Teams Keeps Chat, Meetings, and File Sharing in One Place"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

What I like most about Microsoft Teams is how it brings everything into one place. Chat, meetings, calls, and file sharing are all integrated, so we don’t have to switch between multiple tools throughout the day. I also really appreciate the integration with apps like Github Copilot, which you can access right from the sidebar. It’s a big plus because it makes it feel like your queries are being resolved by one of your peers. On top of that, you can add custom bots to the sidebar, and apps like Microsoft OneDrive are supported as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

One issue I’ve noticed is the startup time—it can take a while to open, especially on systems that are already running multiple applications. It’s most noticeable when I just want to quickly check a message and have to wait for it to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Collaboration and File Sharing with Microsoft Teams"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

I recently joined an organization as a contract employee and, for the first time, I’ve really gotten to experience Teams in a true team environment. I’ve always used Microsoft products, but I’ve never really engaged much with OneDrive or the broader suite of services, especially the cloud side. I’ve been genuinely impressed with what Teams offers.

Between file sharing (and controlling what isn’t shared) and how it integrates with the rest of the Microsoft suite, it’s been a great experience. Being able to open and edit documents right within Teams, whether in Word or PowerPoint, without leaving the platform, makes everything feel much smoother. From a functionality standpoint, Teams does an excellent job of bringing different parts of project management and task management together in one place, and it all works pretty seamlessly.

It’s been great for internal communication, too. We were also able to set up channels with external clients, which made file sharing and collaboration much simpler than they would have been if we had managed documents manually.

Overall, I’m very impressed with the experience, and it’s made me even more of a Microsoft Champion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

The biggest thing I dislike about Teams is notification management, making sure you actually see what people have updated or what feedback they’ve provided. I often felt that I would post something in a channel and it would get lost in the mix, which made it difficult to give or receive feedback in that chat. A lot of the time, I had to tag people directly and then revisit the chat several times a day to make sure I didn’t miss any responses. Overall, when you’re trying to manage multiple things at once, it can get pretty overwhelming to keep up with notifications, especially if you have lots of channels and lots of projects happening at the same time.

"Easy, Intuitive Messaging That Keeps Communication Organized"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

What I like most about Microsoft Teams is how easy and intuitive it is to use. The interface feels very similar to texting, which makes communication quick and natural without a steep learning curve. I also appreciate the clean layout, it’s simple to navigate and keeps everything organized in one place. The speed of the platform stands out as well; messages send quickly, and it’s easy to jump into conversations without delays. Overall, starting conversations, sharing information, and making quick edits is seamless, which makes it a very efficient tool for day-to-day communication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

One of the main drawbacks of Microsoft Teams is that it often requires downloading the app for the best experience. While there is a web version, it can feel limited compared to the desktop app, and it would be more convenient if the full functionality were always accessible directly through a browser. As I was not ever able to use just online platform on my phone.

Additionally, notifications can sometimes be overwhelming or inconsistent, making it easy to miss important messages or feel distracted by constant alerts. This can impact productivity, especially when managing multiple conversations at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Teams: Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration for Smooth Collaboration"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams has been a game-changer for staying organized and connected, especially when juggling multiple projects or working with a team remotely. The platform combines chat, video meetings, file sharing, and collaboration tools all in one place, which makes it incredibly convenient and efficient.

One of the standout features is how seamlessly it integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook. Being able to edit documents in real time while chatting with coworkers saves a lot of time and keeps everything in sync. The meeting functionality is also reliable, with clear audio and video, screen sharing, and recording options that make collaboration easy—even across different locations.

I also appreciate the ability to organize conversations into channels and teams. It keeps communication structured and prevents things from getting lost in endless email threads. Notifications are customizable too, which helps reduce distractions while still staying informed.

Overall, Microsoft Teams is a powerful, user-friendly tool that makes communication and collaboration much smoother. Whether for business, school, or personal projects, it’s a dependable platform that helps teams stay connected and productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

One of the biggest challenges is performance—Teams can sometimes feel slow, especially when switching between chats, channels, and meetings. Reducing lag and improving overall speed would make a noticeable difference in daily use. The interface, while feature-rich, can also feel a bit cluttered or overwhelming for new users. A more streamlined, intuitive layout would help people find what they need faster.

Search functionality is another area that could be stronger. Finding older messages or files isn’t always as easy or accurate as it should be, especially in larger organizations with lots of activity. Enhancing search filters and accuracy would save users time and frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration Makes Collaboration Effortless"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams integrates smoothly with the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which makes collaboration feel seamless across chat, meetings, and file sharing. Being able to switch quickly from messaging to video calls, while also accessing shared documents in the same place, is very efficient. It’s especially useful for organisations already invested in Microsoft services, since it reduces the need to rely on multiple separate tools for everyday work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

The platform can feel slow and resource-heavy at times, especially on lower-spec machines. Notifications can also be overwhelming and hard to manage effectively. For new users, the interface can be confusing, and some features feel buried or inconsistent between the desktop and web versions, which makes navigation less intuitive.

"A simple solution for better teamwork and communication"
What do you like best about Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is like a one-stop place where you can chat, join meetings, share files, and work together without switching between apps. It also has smart features (AI) that help save time by creating summaries and handling small tasks. You can work on documents together in real time and keep everything organized, which makes teamwork easier. Within the organization, file sharing works smoothly, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

For guest users, file sharing is not available by default. For that, we need to set up B2B (business-to-business) access to allow external collaboration. Features don’t always work the same on web, desktop, and mobile, which can be confusing. Search and file sharing can also be tricky sometimes. Overall, it works well, but a few things could be simpler and smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I no longer have to bounce between different apps, since chat, video meetings, and file sharing are seamlessly integrated in one place.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Teams?

The biggest downside is that the desktop app can be very resource-heavy, sometimes slowing down my computer during large video calls. It also takes a while to load when switching between different organizations or accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How would you in future improve on sync calendar function well for ease of coordinating activities and meetings. Launch quick meetings is also a problem.
