The ability to create channels for different projects or departments keeps communication organized. The video and audio quality during meetings is consistently reliable, and integration with the rest of the Microsoft 365 suite makes workflows very efficient. > > **Cons**: At times, Teams can feel a bit resource-intensive on older hardware, and the user interface can be overwhelming for new users. Notifications can also become hard to manage if you’re part of many channels and teams. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft Teams has been excellent. It has become a central hub for daily communication and collaboration, especially in a remote and hybrid work environment. It helps keep everyone aligned, improves productivity, and reduces email overload. After a short learning curve, it becomes an indispensable tool for any team. ----- ### "Teams, a great tool for global connection" — 5.0/5 > **Duncan** | *3 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to connect with everyone in your organization, no matter where they are in the world. > > **Cons**: I don't like all the added features that try to connect into Teams like other channels or tools. I want to use Teams to connect with people. I dont like tools such as powerpoint trying to be used within Teams. It does not work to well > > Overall, I rely on Teams every day. It allows me to quickly reach my peers and also to connect with people who are in the same organisation but sit in different parts of the world ----- ### "MS Teams has to be the BEST tool for collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Berny** | *29 July 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The amount of plugins, integrations, etc that can be hooked into Teams is amazing. I have everything directed into Teams. It's my one place I go to every morning. > > **Cons**: It needs to have permissions that can be set up per channel, not only overall on the whole Teams site. ----- ### "I use Teams every day at work\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lauren** | *23 March 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think Teams is great. I use it every day at work for a variety of reasons. It tells me when people are online and working without having to message or ask someone. I can message individuals and also easily make group chat so my team and colleagues can pass on messages and information quickly. I also love the Teams video use; this can be used professionally to speak to clients and have online meeting of they are unable to attend the office and it can also be used socially to keep in touch with friends and colleagues. > > **Cons**: I haven't come across any negative points when using Teams in either personal or professional capacity. > > Easy to use. Can stay in contact with friends, colleagues or clients by messages, group messages or video calls. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 439\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/168668/microsoft-teams?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
