Quick note on data security - you and your organization should NEVER use Microsoft Teams.
Teams attempts to track, analyze and store everything you do (not just in Teams, but in Outlook, web, docs, voice meetings) - it tracks who was on the email (or in meeting), what the topic was, what each person said.
If does this in order to create 'performance metric scores'. Oh, and all of that data it's gleaning is going off network to their servers.
Oh, and as an added vulnerability, most Teams installations are so lax that anyone on your Teams network can turn on your mic without you knowing it, and listen in.
@Mshockley Does this mean that a business installation of office365 should exclude setting up Teams altogether? Seems to throw a monkey wrench into a collaborative work mode.
@Amyfb yes. Teams attempts to get it's hooks into everything.
It's pretty much malware. There are plenty of collaborative tools that don't risk you or your company's private data.
@Mshockley Does your advice about Teams extend to Sharepoint also? And, what non-microsoft collaborative tools do you like?
@Amyfb sharepoint is fine. Most Microsoft apps are great - it's Teams that is the problem there.
For collab, Zoom, Slack, pretty much anything web based is fine. The issue with Teams is the attempt to scan, store and monitor your private data.
This is even MORE true if your company handles Personally Identifiable Data, health data, financial data, etc.
