The connection is so clean, and sharing the screen is seamless. Strong for remote work and still connect with the team and suppliers. Recordings and break-out rooms are the best features for workshops. > > **Cons**: Sometimes we can see a bit of lag in large meetings, and it consumes lot of RAM and suddenly loses network in a call. > > Good value if already paying for Microsoft 365, and a very user-friendly tool even for beginners. If we are in a Microsoft environment and want everything in one tool, Teams is best for the company. Compared with the cons, Pros have more weightage and are highly recommended when remote/hybrid work is part of the organization. ----- ### "Excellent software\! So easy to use and helps keeps me and my work organised." — 5.0/5 > **Fiona** | *07 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Teams as part of my every day work life and it makes everything so much easier\! I work remotely from home so being able to keep track of online meetings and communicating with other members of the organisation all over the country is really important. We hold regular team meetings and have group shared folders for project work and management which is easy to upload and control access. I am able to customize my file access and calendar access and view my team members schedule. I find the automated meeting suggestion really useful when some members have a busy diary and will show me when there is a space where everyone is next available at the same time. > > **Cons**: I cannot think of anything that I do not like or have encountered any problems when using Teams. I certainly have not had any recent issues. > > Excellent. Microsoft Teams keeps me organised and I am able to show myself as 'busy' or 'do not disturb' if I have a heavy workload which informs people that I may not be able to respond to messages. ----- ### "Could use some updates" — 3.0/5 > **Hollie** | *24 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was an ok way to communicate with team members at my old workplace. I liked the ability to add tabs of information for everyone to see \& share as needed. > > **Cons**: It had a lot of bugs and was always crashing or not working properly especially during a call and other times with just normal chat features. Ran very slow > > Overall I was not a huge fan of Microsoft Teams with all the bugs \& crashes, I much prefer using email and Google drive/workspace to share information. ----- ### "Your primary communication and collaboration tool" — 5.0/5 > **Tyler** | *10 March 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teams is our primary method of team communication \& collaboration. 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. ----- ### "MS Teams Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kyle** | *13 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Collaboration and integration with all microsoft products. Chat, calls, accessing SharePoint and OneDrive are the most important aspects of it > > **Cons**: There are times that it’s buggy but Microsoft continues to improve it daily. So far it has been working well for me over the years > > Can’t really complain as Teams is well constructed and I even got a certified for administer Teams for our organization. ----- Page: 1 / 444\ 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
