Microsoft Teams

What differentiates Microsoft Teams from other similar products?

Microsoft Teams enhances business productivity and collaboration. The vast range of integrations with both the Microsoft product ecosystem (e.g., Microsoft To-Do & Outlook) plus the additional external third-party platforms (such as PowerBi, Sociabble, and the FT to name just a few) mean users can work on a range of tasks from one place.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of my favourites is the ability to "rollback" a shared document to a previous version. When working with large teams, individuals can accidentally change or delete something important. With Microsoft Teams, the owner of the document can easily refresh the impacted file to go back to the previous update(s). MS Teams has also got some great video conferencing features - from dynamic backgrounds to The Sim's-like avatars. While not business-critical, they allow camera-shy members of the team to have a virtual presence - rather than just a circle with their initials which feels more impersonal.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Broadly speaking, Microsoft Teams does everything it needs to do, well. There is the occasional issues with contact status availability not updating in real-time (e.g., showing as online when they are offline) but this isn't a consistent and regular problem nor does it have much of an impact on cross-personnel productivity.
