Microsoft Teams is the product equivalent of a meeting that should have been an email. The video calling experience has improved significantly, but everything around it - channels, file sharing, chat, app integrations - feels like it was designed by separate teams who never spoke to each other. Navigation requires a mental model that defies spatial logic. Finding a file someone shared last week is an exercise in existential dread. The only reason it's on every enterprise desktop is because Microsoft bundles it for free.
What earns the score
- +Video meeting quality and reliability have improved
- +Together Mode is a genuinely creative feature
- +Deep integration with Microsoft 365 apps
What holds it back
- –Navigation model is genuinely confusing
- –File management is a maze of SharePoint abstractions
- –Performance is poor even on capable hardware
- –Chat and channels create duplicate conversation spaces
- –Search returns results from a parallel universe
