I work with several large organisations, all using Teams.
In every instance, the previous solution (Slack/Zoom/Discord) was replaced by Teams following higher management making the switch for reasons like "it's included in Office 365" or a new hire influencing the migration to Microsoft solutions.
In every instance, the application was/is not well received by the employees - it's slow, buggy, crazy complicated and generally doesn't feel "right".
Microsoft is good at channeling security topics for their PR, but at the end of the day they make software, just like everybody else (and this software is subject to bugs, just like everybody else).
It's really disappointing that the vulnerabilities have not yet been addressed...
- watwut 5y agoThat is exactly how it went where I work. Higher management decided for teams and office and it is just bad solution.
- 542458 5y agoAnecdotally (as a counterpoint), we also went with teams, and it’s been… fine. There are bugs, but they’re mostly in the category of “irritating” rather than “massively disruptive”. It’s nice that teams is integrated with the rest of Microsoft’s 365 and outlook stuff, and service uptime has been good enough. From my POV, the differences vs Slack have been pretty minor (although I recognize that my experience isn’t universal). That said, yeah, leaving vulns and/or the irritating bugs open for as long as they have is silly.
- mellavora 5y agolike not being able to delete a chat? I had a chat with an outside org, and now it is forever in my Teams history, and I cannot get rid of it. which has the potential to be pretty embarrassing (if the chat was not work-related) or a violation (if the chat was under i.e. an NDA and the relationship ended thus "you have to delete all notes etc"). I'm sure the creative can think of additional ways this could be awkward.
- artificialLimbs 5y agoWait until you discover the joys of Teams search.
- ncann 5y agoThe pros of Teams search is it is pretty good at finding things, like random chat message from someone who has left the company years ago. The cons of Teams search is it is almost useless when you can only view the single message in the result list, e.g. a single chat message without any surrounding messages for context, and also no possible way to jump to the conversation for that message.
- artificialLimbs 5y agoThis is "the joys" of Teams search.
- fomine3 5y agoThe cons makes search totally useless.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoFor me it always finds everything but the thing I was looking for. I might type someone's name and it comes up with a bunch of other messages from other people that don't even mention the name I looked for. Unless you have a very specific detail keyword I find it useless. And indeed not being able to jump to the timeline makes it even size.
- foepys 5y agoFor Teams it's already too hard to scroll up in a chat. It keeps jumping around and often automatically scrolls down to the bottom again. With this in mind I don't expect search to do anything.
- artificialLimbs 5y agoIt's complete trash. I should have included /s.
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoTBH I'd rather the bugs be disruptive than being irritating. If they are disruptive people will just use other tools or MS will treat it more seriously. Now they are just irritating so they ignore or push them further.
- merb 5y ago> Microsoft’s 365 and outlook stuff teams calling is not, they do not even share the contacts, they only sync and sometimes they do not.
