I am impressed with its meeting schedules, remote support, and chat.""It is a stable solution.""Everything is valuable, such as the chats, the calls, and the file sharing.""It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams.

Cons
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."

More Jive Cons →

"The remote control needs some improvement.""The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved.""I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout. It is no longer representative of the layout that you actually have in a document. You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look.""Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution.""They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting.""It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones."
