Was there ever a MS Teams feature anyone actually liked? Seems like the whole product is based on loathing.
Teams isn't made for the users.
I can't for the life of me figure out who it is for.
Management wanting to track your activity, Microsoft wanting your data,...
Features Microsoft wants to push and features companies want. It's widely used because IT departments can just buy Office 365 and have all of the office apps and support for however they're hosting the rest of their office 365 apps but that doesn't mean it's good
Teams is a part of Office365. It has been widely utilized in corporate establishments.
Doubt any mere mortals would use it as their primary way of communication.
Good to remember that the client for Teams isn't you - it's your IT department
Lol, are you kidding? IT gets to experience the suck of using it, and of administrating it. For as bad as the front end of Microsoft stuff is, the back end is usually worse.
Wtf are you on about administering teams is braindead
It's one of the better ones, and basic functionality is braindead, but I've definitely found some pain points.
Valid complaints but its why IT teams have to fight these random ass requirements because its a trivial small seeming suggestion but takes so much time, generates so many issues. Of course that only works if your company is structured in a way where they respect ITs input.
No, it's upper management. I don't give a fuck what you're doing all day as long as it doesn't create security vulnerabilities in the environment
It’s for CSuite that doesn’t wanna pay for slack but sees teams bundled in office and says “good enough”
Well to be fair slack is quite expensive, and getting worse every year. Both in price and usability.
They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.
I mean, that has been Microsoft’s MO for their entire existence. With the exception of maybe some versions of Visual Studio, everything they have done was see what they can copy off their competitors.
Wasn’t the original Visual Studio just Borland Turbo C++ with a non-ascii GUI?
If your whole ecosystem is in azure, it kind of works. Similar to gsuite
... For the admin. It's easy for the admin. That's not the users.
I bet some employers love that shit. They are Microslop Teams‘ main customers. Making our life miserable is a feature.
