Is anyone using MS teams? I am looking for feedback about how you use it and how you like it?

It’s basically Microsoft’s Slack/Discord/etc type app - have been loving it for my devs and myself but I’ve kept our less tech savvy on Skype for Business.

Been going slow with our rollout, but our tech savvy users are eating it up now. (We started when it was still beta and it’s greatly improved).

I started running Spiceworks from in Team and got a direct connection into our SP, seems to work well, one centralized location for our IT | Tech team. Has some great potential.

We switched from consumer Skype/Skype for business almost immediately when Teams released. We love it. The are a couple idiosyncracies, but the development is fast, they update often and listen to use feedback. It is great.

We have a customer on it, internally it’s hard to get traction on it.
Our customer loves it. Just make sure you are only 1 version behind in office.
MS just refused to support a teams issue due to Office 2010 and Win7.

@Texonc I would be interested to know how you customer uses it. it has lots of potential, I integrated SpiceWorks window on a tab for our HD.

We’ve looked at it briefly, but we haven’t started really using it yet. We are a small team and we sit close to each other so it’s just easier to turn to my coworker and ask in person. We share the same space so there’s no door/walls between us. Our boss sits on the other side of the building, but if it’s quick I’ll either call or Skype for Business message him.

We have a large number of people that have been using Slack for development; not sure they’ll move to Teams since they’re already established on there.

We are in a similar space config, but our techs run between 2 buildings thus Team add continuity to chats with conversation auto trails even if they use it on their phones. We also like the one entry point into Spiceworks and SharePoint by adding tabs into MS teams.

We just gave them the rope. Support is hit and miss that they ask us for. How they use it daily, dunno.

We actually tested out Teams internally and documented the experience. There’s so much you can do with it (if your team is on board!) and it can greatly streamline processes. Here’s how we’ve been using it so far!

Glad to hear! Happy to help. :slight_smile:

Has anyone had any experience with Teams on an RDS scenario?

Sorry for the late reply, but I’ve been testing Microsoft Teams for my company and for a few clients over the past few months, and so far so good!

Teams brings together a some powerful Microsoft technologies, namely SharePoint, Skype, and Excel/Word editing, as well as lots of configuration/customization options, into one easy to use “workplace chat” app (like Slack, but better).

Microsoft seems to be throwing quite a bit of resources into Teams, judging by the frequency of updates and planned features:

I’m moving most of our daily operations and communications to Teams over the holiday. Teams seems to me like a good bet going into 2018!
