It is both easy to use and customizable to suit our needs. We have several of our systems integrated / plugged in with Teams, starting with alerting and critical events, to scheduling, PSA, etc. > > **Cons**: Some of the plug ins for things like Planner and multi-calendar views are a bit tricky to navigate and may not show everything that we're looking for, but has improved over time. > > Our experience using Microsoft Teams is critical to how we communicate. Both within our own team, as well as with our clients. It is extremely important to our day to day operations and has been working great for integrating with our other systems. ----- ### "Teamwork Just Works With MS Teams" — 4.0/5 > **Zach** | *February 25, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you're already part of a Microsoft organization Teams is the common sense solution to video conferencing and calling as it'll integrate easily with your other systems. Teams works very well with other MS software like Outlook, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. For organizations that are hybrid or fully remote Teams is a great tool for team collaboration and it is also convenient to be able to simultaneously work on projects in Excel/Powerpoint etc with other team members during live meetings. Teams is incredibly easy to use and I consider it a very robust workplace communication tool. > > **Cons**: For users outside our organization or teams that are not on Microsoft they sometimes have issues with joining our video calls. We often have clients request meetings on other platforms that are native to their own internal teams like Zoom or Google Meet. While Teams is a solid option, not every organization uses it so there is some unfamiliarity with it for external teams. > > Overall I've been using Teams for several years and while it was a little clunky at first and the user interface was lacking, they have continuously upgraded and improved the overall user experience. Teams is probably my most used tool on my computer as I'm in a few video calls a day. I don't think I could live without Teams at this point\! ----- ### "Teams - Sharepoint with Chats" — 4.0/5 > **Yurii** | *March 25, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teams is a great application for communication Main Pros: - Simplicity - very user friendly, easy to install and configure - Access to Sharepoint - Teams is basically a sharepoint with chats which makes your collaboration with colleagues easy and fast; - Addons - supports multiple addons that can make your life easier - built in like Planner, excel, Power BI, third party - like Jabber, AI Agents, Wrike ETC - Is part of Microsoft Enterprise or Business license - You don't need to pay for a third party app if your company works on Microsoft/Office Suite apps - Works good on iPhone/Android > > **Cons**: - Teams can be very slow and buggy - Lack of customization options in settings - Teams v2 ("New Teams") is not very resource friendly, so you need a machine with at least 8gb of RAM for it to work - If there is a bug and you want MS Support to help you - good luck with that > > Overall experience is great - collaboration, addons, quality of calls are great on Teams. There are a few cons, mostly bugs, but overall teams is a great product. ----- ### "Solid email and calendar combo, a bit heavy and cluttered" — 5.0/5 > **Harshul** | *April 10, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Teams at work every day and it keeps chats, calls and meetings in one place. Channels make it easy to keep project conversations together so I dont lose context. Video calls are stable most of the time and screen sharing usually works without drama. File sharing with OneDrive links is handy, no more emailing big attachments back and forth. Integrations with calendars and other apps save me time when scheduling and following up. Search finds messages and files quickly so I can grab past info without digging forever. > > **Cons**: The app can feel heavy and slow on older laptops, it sometimes lags when switching channels. Notifications get noisy if people post a lot, and muting channels is not always obvious. Mobile app misses some desktop features and the layout can be confusing at times. Setting up permissions and private channels took a few tries and some help from IT. Calls sometimes drop or audio glitches happen on bad networks, needs manual fixes. Customizing tabs and apps is useful but also a bit fiddly and inconsistent across teams. > > Overall it makes day to day work easier because everything is in one place at work. We run standups, client calls and quick huddles without jumping between tools. There are annoyances performance, noisy notifications and mobile quirks but nothing fatal. When it works it speeds up collaboration and reduces email clutter, which I like a lot. I still rely on a few other tools for heavy project tracking, but Teams covers most needs. Would recommend for teams that want a single hub, just expect some setup and learning. ----- ### "A basic and well-rounded option for professional communication and management" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathon** | *April 1, 2026* | Capital Markets | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Your chats are well organized in relation to everything how everything else is laid out in the platform and you never lose track of a specific chat. There is also a "cork board" scheduler to make collaborating easier. There are also some fun customization options for your meetings like backgrounds.Screen sharing and recordings is very easy. > > **Cons**: There can be some slowdown during large video team meetings, especially if you are running Chrome or Worse at the same time. It can be a little confusing going from one Teams window or tab to another when a video chat is underway. > > It has become the gold standard for communicating with my team professionally and keeping our projects and ideas organized. I even use it to record a podcast with a coworker weekly. ----- Page: 1 / 442\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/168668/microsoft-teams?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/168668/microsoft-teams) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
