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. ----- ### "Microsoft Teams in the Workplace" — 4.0/5 > **Samm** | *06 April 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Teams allows our company to remain in contact internally instantly. We often use the chats feature to discuss quick items rather than sending e-mails through Outlook. Teams also gives us the ability to save time by scheduling virtual meetings vs. having to travel. Teams also integrates well with both OneDrive and SharePoint and therefore increases the speed and ease of collaboration amongst members of the team. The integration between Teams and Outlook is also paramount to organization and scheduling. > > **Cons**: Microsoft Teams, like many Microsoft products, has a very steep learning curve and can feel overwhelming and clunky for some team members/new hires. Members of our team often struggle to differentiate between chats, channels and teams. > > Overall, Microsoft Teams performs well and can be a great organization and schedule tool. Further, it can assist in team work and communicate when used as it is designed. ----- ### "Fine product used for corporate communication" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 April 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrates with the phone well, photos are easy to share. Custom Icons are nice and the scheduling for meetings is very convenient > > **Cons**: Can disconnect from calls, crash the computer and a special teams headset for calls is very low quality and stuffing came out > > Fine product, it goes yellow for status way too quickly if you are watching a guide. There are plenty of photos that have issues showing up from teams messages too ----- ### "The go-to meeting software." — 5.0/5 > **Jon** | *18 January 2026* | Dairy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Slick, works perfectly with other Microsoft products. Is the leader in meeting tech (having taken over from Zoom since the pandemic). The customer support team are very knowledgeable: and offer solutions, suggestions, a thorough explanation alongside solutions. When we experienced issues during setup they called us immediately (from the US) and talked us through the solution, explaining the what and the why. They also assured customisation for our particular setup. > > **Cons**: Recently Microsoft have removed Teams from some of the lower cost standard 365 packages, offering it as a standalone subscription. While they have slightly reduced the cost of these subscriptions, it remains higher-cost to implement both. > > Teams is the go-to for meetings, online presentations and collaboration. Via video or text chat, it just works properly with no drama. Particularly great is collaboration across documents and files. Easy to use and understand with through customisation options available for advanced users. ----- ### "Best collaboration tool" — 5.0/5 > **Nitesh** | *26 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part is everything is in one place — chat, video calls, file sharing, and task management without switching between apps. Integration with Office 365 is seamless, so collaborating on Word or Excel documents in real time is very convenient. Creating separate channels for different projects keeps team communication clean and organized. For day to day team collaboration it works really well. > > **Cons**: The app can get slow and heavy sometimes, especially during calls with larger groups. Notifications can get overwhelming if you're part of too many channels. Customization options are limited compared to tools like Slack. Customer support is mostly documentation based and getting actual help for specific issues takes time. The interface also feels a bit cluttered until you get used to it. > > Teams has been a reliable tool for daily communication and collaboration. Setting it up is straightforward especially if your organization already uses Microsoft 365. Managing projects, sharing files, and having quick calls all in one tool saves a lot of time. Value for money is good if you're already on a Microsoft plan since it comes bundled. It's not perfect but for a team that lives inside the Microsoft ecosystem it does the job well without needing extra tools. ----- Page: 1 / 442\ 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
