About Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based group chat solution that helps teams collaborate on documents. Its key features include messaging, conferencing and file sharing. Microsoft Teams has replaced Skype for Business as Microsoft's online meeting solution.
The solution helps users store files online, manage documents, create groups and receive notifications. It is customizable for each team and users can communicate through instant messaging, online meetings, calling and web conferencing. The collaboration tool can be used to work on files within Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Sharepoint. Additional features include open application processing interface, assistant bots, conversation search, contact search, and multi-factor authentication.
Microsoft Teams integrates with third-party applications such as GitHub, Microsoft Office, Power BI, Delve, Planner, Trello and more. The application is available on a one-time subscription and support is available via phone and online help desk.

Really love Teams - would highly recommend.
Really enjoy this software. It's a great way for teams to stay connected, to get a hold of someone quickly or do meetings or trainings easily within the organization.
Pros
I like the user-friendliness of Teams. It's easy for anyone to use, including people who have never used software such as this before. You can create groups, share files, create polls, screen record training sessions and so much more. If you ever used MSN Messenger back in the days, this is like a ramped up version of it! Lots of businesses use Teams so it's easy to set up a meeting and add a Teams link to have your meeting through. There are also no time limits which is a great feature. I really like how you can have live reactions in the Teams meetings as well (such as clapping hands if congratulating a teammate on a job well done) etc.
Cons
One feature I dislike about Teams is that you can't add people from other networks to your Teams chats. You can connect with people through Teams meetings links outside of your organization, but you can't just start up a chat with them like you can with people inside of your organization.

Ever since the update, microsoft removes favorite contacts, now I have to spend mins in chat log or type name to find a specific person.

Good but with reliability issuees and without GNU/linux Support!
In fact, despite all the problems, it can get better with good software and some development. But unfortunately I can't trust it at the moment.
Pros
I use Microsoft Teams at a University. It is nice to have a complete software. We can share files with our colleagues. We can also save time by working jointly on some documents. It is also nice that it is extensible and has a lot of add-ons. For example, we have installed the tasks application, so we can assign tasks immediately and follow who is doing them. It's also nice to have a smartphone app.
Cons
Although it is a nice software in general, I don't want to work with it for two main reasons. Firstly, Linux support is very bad. Secondly, sometimes our files are lost. The interface is slow. Recently, some of our files were lost, including the pictures of the teams we set up. Also, when I tried to use the Office application in it, I typed the title and it deleted it immediately during autosave. I was using it before because it was the official system of our school, but now I'm starting to think that we need to switch to a different system. It is also necessary to back up the files frequently.

Video conferring with the added benefit of collaboration
Exceptional experience, included in the Microsoft suite, clear and clean audio and video experience. A daily staple for myself and our team
Pros
I like the quality of video conferencing, the ability to share the screen, transcribe feature, and the ability to connect with your team in an easy and efficient manner
Cons
I sometimes have issues when sharing my screen or connecting to our boardroom tv. The teams meeting will sometimes freeze and will need to be disconnected.

For Todays generation!
I use Teams on a daily basis to DM and video conference with coworkers and staff. It makes this easy to do and there aren't too many functions to click to get the job done.
Pros
Teams is quick to use and the visual aspect is easy for your eyes to interpret.
Cons
It takes a few minutes longer to load then our previous platform.
