Microsoft Teams Rooms has been pretty effective for our business. It has allowed multiple members of our team to connect remotely and stay on the same page with any changes, etc. A few times, the screen sharing option didn't work great, but otherwise, the product has been beneficial.

StarLeaf is good because it is allowing our Company and global teams to create and conduct meetings and video calls. However, the mic often has issues as well as connection problems. The mobile app is excellent for joining the video conf calls.

Pros
  • Camera view selection is a nice feature which allows remote users to choose the camera feedback to select for better experience.
  • Live reactions like hand claps, thumbs up, raised hands,etc can be used to indicate to presenters that a meeting attendee has a question. This is cool.
  • We can connect our laptop seamlessly to the Microsoft Teams Rooms to share our content or presentation which makes things very simple.

Usability
Microsoft Teams Rooms really 'cleans up' the old clunky way to deliver a meeting. Too often we've seen issues with scheduling and staff not confident to use the equipment in front of an audience. Microsoft Teams Rooms has provided all the tools our staff need and didn't know that they needed and provides them in one familiar solution.

Alternatives Considered
Microsoft Teams Rooms has been more cost effective for us than using a separate subscription from another vendor. With our microsoft 365 tenant already in-place we've streamlined our configuration and licensing into a single management portal which really suites us and the way in which we work as an organization. Managing meetings is just so much better through Microsoft Teams Rooms than any of our experiences with other vendors.

Microsoft Teams, when I used, was far better than StarLeaf, on video, sound, and feature connections.
