Klaxoon, a Wrike company vs. Microsoft Teams

It can be a good tool for workshops or interactive presentations. but the complex UI/UX design is a hindrance. It can easily alienate new users and make them look for other programs. It can also be a suitable application for company employees who work more regularly. I would rather have a special license for Education.

Microsoft Teams is ideal for organizations where employees regularly collaborate by sharing files, working on the same documents, updating the progress, etc. This is because different file formats are supported for online editing and collaboration with the help of Microsoft Teams. Additionally, for every file which is shared among the team members, emails are not sent again and again which helps in easily managing and organizing files. It is less appropriate where the team members have to instantly reply to an urgent task as sometimes the notifications are not sent properly which may lead to a delay in the work.

• Simple and intuitive boards.
• User-friendly “templates” that make it easy for most users to get started using it as a teamwork space.
• Like most other companies we rely on Microsoft and Microsoft teams. This software solution integrates with teams, which I really like.

• Video calls are great with Microsoft Teams. They've made big improvements over the last year and I rarely have issue with getting on. It's nice when things just work.
• The most used functionality is, of course, the chat feature. It does what it's supposed to do and you can create chat groups from whoever you'd like. We use it a lot when there is a special project and a team from various groups get together for a short period of time to get things done.
• An overlooked function is the ability to search anything within Microsoft Teams. Any photo, document, or chat can be searched and found pretty easily. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me from having to rewrite something or start over.

• Just maybe some fine-tuning here and there about some choice in terms of UI and maybe trim down a bit some graphically appealing things which are sometimes taking over the effectiveness
• The solution is really rich and maybe including more tutorials would be great to reduce the learning curve when using more advanced capabilities.
• I wish the session functionality would give me more freedom to switch between different activities and reactivate some e.g. a survey. It's easier to make a mistake with sessions to close activities by accident.

• I sometimes have a hard time viewing both the meeting screen and chat window at the same time.
• There have been times when someone in a meeting will totally lose their connection.
• At times the sound quality is not what it should be which makes it hard to hear each other.

Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product

The overall functionality of the product is incredible in that it provides a one-stop solution for organization and communication. The product is also very well integrated into Microsoft Outlook and other Office apps. Visually pleasing and very easy to use interface. New features are constantly being added to enhance the user experience.

Rare, but outages do happen

Sometimes about once a week I get a message that says "Sorry, there seems to be something wrong". But it goes away in a few minutes.

I think Microsoft Team is overall good application for communication, track Project work inter the teams and also intra teams. I have 7 out of 10 because it needs improvements in certain features like video sharing call, call drop, audio quality and connecting problems even after having good internet connection.

I find everything I need for my day-to-day work.

Klaxoon helps to facilitate the collaborative environment for decision-making processes to assess a situation, analyze the root causes of problems in a collective manner, improve processes, reach an agreement and define an action plan. We have implemented this tool for different projects and to work with customers, for small and large groups, face to face or remote, leveraging templates or creating our own.

We chose primarily because of the promised integration with the Microsoft Business Suite - which it mostly delivers on. That does give Teams an obvious advantage over competitors. IMHO Teams has a richer, more mature feature set, and the experience is more reliable and stable. Although like any of there there is room for imporvement.

It does not appear to have a limit to how many teams and employees we can have using it

• User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful.
• MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organisational communications. This in turn has a positive impact on the overall business outcome.
• Scheduling meetings have never been so easy in the past. We can schedule meetings on the go without any hassles
• Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.
