It’s very useful for remote collaboration and staying connected with the team. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it feels a bit heavy and can slow down on older systems. Also, notifications can get overwhelming if not managed properly. > > Overall, Microsoft Teams is a solid collaboration tool. It helps in daily communication, meetings, and sharing work efficiently, especially for distributed teams. ----- ### "MS Teams: Powerful, Packed and Can't Live Without" — 5.0/5 > **Raxit** | *26 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Excellent Microsoft 365 integration - Word, Excel, SharePoint etc. works seamlessly within the MS Teams - Absolutely love Simplicity of the Audio/Video calls with some amazing features like backgrounds, live captions, transcriptions etc. - Channels is a great part of MS Teams, allows organized conversations with multiple teams - Sharing files, saving notes, sharing code snippets and using other apps right within the MS Teams is what I love the most about this platform. > > **Cons**: - While the normal functions are easy to use, some of the advanced features are not that easy to start working with. - Notifications might get noisy when working with multiple teams - The application is resource heavy and might feel sluggish, specially on older machines > > Overall, it is one of the most powerful collaboration tools out there and once you use it, you can't live without it. ----- ### "Microsoft Teams 1 year later" — 5.0/5 > **Cody** | *17 May 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how all the controls are right there in front of you and how the user interface is designed to be exceptionally simple and very user friendly. > > **Cons**: I don’t think I have ever really found much of anything that I dislike about Microsoft Teams\! It’s a very stellar platform. > > My experience overall is absolutely amazing\! I really enjoy using it to communicate with my colleagues. ----- ### "The gold standard for businesses" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *24 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Comes included with every M365 subscription/plan and allows chat and video conferencing. The overall meeting function works as expected and UI is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. During a call you can screenshare, chat, or transfer files if needed. Chat UI is pretty clean and has all of the most common functions. Ton of 3rd party app integrations available which is nice. > > **Cons**: Teams channels are the worst thing ever. Its confusing to manage and buried under a separate section that you have to dig into to get to that chat. It's kind of confusing when you want to start an ad-hoc meeting and customize the meeting settings ahead of time. It's also supper annoying that it always ask you how your Teams experience was after every single meeting/call. The active/away status is unreliable. > > Overall for businesses its understandable way it's the standard. Functionality wise, it works as needed for instant private/group messaging and video conferencing. Integrations are widely available if you need to connect it to any 3rd party applications. Its modern and feature full but the definition of business/corporate. ----- ### "Great for team communication, but multi-tenant switching needs work" — 4.0/5 > **Álvaro** | *5 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The main benefit is communication, both for team channels and one-on-one chats. It's a very useful app for maintaining workplace communication, you can schedule meetings and share files, which are stored directly on the platform, keeping information always accessible > > **Cons**: Personally, I have two profile tenants, and this can sometimes be a bit annoying. Since I have conversations in both, I periodically have to switch from one profile to the other, which is a hassle. Additionally, on several occasions I need to contact someone for the first time, and I have to check which of the two tenants I appear as available on in order to message them, which sometimes means I can't reach that person efficiently > > I use it regularly for my daily standup with my team, where we discuss our daily tasks and share information. I also have one-on-one chats with other people across the company that I need to contact to resolve specific work-related matters. It's very useful for my day-to-day tasks, as well as for sharing my screen live when needed ----- Page: 1 / 444\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397766/microsoft-teams?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397766/microsoft-teams) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
