Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities

I agree so much! It is baffling to me that so many companies/schools/individuals are actively using it. It is _so_ _bad_. Messages are lost, it reboots spontaneously, it crashes, one cannot turn off emoticons (I think (the UI doesn't help)), etc. It does not even take security seriously. What is good about that software?

And then when I talk about this with colleagues, they seem to be just fine with it...

Anyway, sorry about the rant. But it is just so nice to see that there are other people also dissatisfied with it, and that is not just me.

The reason people use it is because either they don’t have a say in it or they legitimately never used anything better (such as Slack or the lesser-known competitors like Mattermost).

If your benchmark is Skype for Business or email then I guess Teams is indeed an upgrade, and Microsoft is betting on that.

No it really isn't! At least shouldn't be forced as a replacement for Skype.

Also because Microsoft try to lock people in by giving teams for "free" when an org buys Office 365.
