Whether its IMs, video conference, online calls - getting in touch and stay organized and connected is easy and efficient with teams > > **Cons**: I think the only thing is that there are competitors in the space who have focused specifically on this group organizational messaging product and teams now has fallen a little behind. Due to teams being one piece of the puzzle of 365, I understand they are well diversified but for large scale, enterprise comms - they can sometimes fall short, > > Fantastic for the most part, I have used in multiple environments whether professional or educational and it has always served me well. Although some features could be either more built or present, teams has always been a great tool to get up and go when it comes to messaging/calling/communication app. ----- ### "Teams review" — 4.0/5 > **Aneury** | *25 September 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very useful when it comes to sharing documents, and/or communicating with other co-workers about a project it's a very good value for the money also has > > **Cons**: the only downside of it is that without a good organizational structure, Teams can turn into a digital junk drawer. > > Overall, Teams it's a great tool to use among Co-workers and employees to share documents, jpgs, PDFs and other documents. ----- ### "Easy to use, but lacks lag-free video calling and accurate features" — 3.0/5 > **Jenna** | *29 July 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, seamless groupchat management, all-in-one work-place management, file storage, calendar management and video call platform > > **Cons**: video calls lagged at times, especially when multiple people joined, online/offline feature not accurate half the time, calendar sharing and viewing not as easy to navigate as other competitors. ----- ### "MS Teams a Reliable and Efficient Work Partner" — 5.0/5 > **Sunil** | *08 September 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Easy and user friendly in org chat. 2. Easy to create groups and have project specific channels. 3. Easy integration with O365. That helps to have all the shared documents are available as per your need. 4. Great calling feature. Easy calling and have great call clarity. 5. Easy integration with other MS tools such as Agents, Visio, OneDrive, SharePoint etc. 6. Good recording and transcript feature. > > **Cons**: 1. High CPU/RAM resource consumption during large video meetings or constant use. This makes your system lag. 2. Notification alerts across multiple active channels can get cluttered without precise custom settings. > > Microsoft Teams serves as a central engine for our team's day-to-day work. The unified file access, seamless O365 ecosystem connection, and reliable communication channels significantly streamline our cross-departmental workflows. ----- ### "Keeps client communication organized, especially when every single email thread matters." — 5.0/5 > **Tucker** | *24 September 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used to lose hours hunting through email chains just to find a single client update, now, everything sits in one channel per case. I can pull up a deposition prep conversation from three months ago in seconds, share redlined contracts without any of that version confusion, and loop in our paralegal mid-thread instead of forwarding fifteen different messages. And video calls? No more separate logins or client downloads. > > **Cons**: The search bar sometimes pulls up every instance of common words like "motion" or "filing" instead of narrowing to the conversation I actually need. I've learned to search by date range first, but that's an extra step when I'm already rushing between hearings. > > Last month opposing counsel rescheduled a hearing thirty minutes before start time. I pulled our entire case file from Teams on my phone, walked the client through our strategy over a video call from the courthouse hallway, and filed an amended brief from the app. That kind of access just works when you need it. ----- Page: 1 / 448\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105615/microsoft-teams?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105615/microsoft-teams) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
