We're about the same size, and don't have issues with it really at all, but we use it only for:
* Calling each other;
* Ad-hoc meetings internally, because our normal meeting platform has become cumbersome (GoTo);
* IMs
I see it'll do other stuff, but we're not really using those aspects. And I should also be super clear that I'm not saying Teams is actually GOOD. I have just found it to be better than any of the alternatives I've seen or used.
That's also very much how I feel about Outlook/Exchange. I mean, look, I'm a Mac guy. I use the Mac mail client almost but not quite exclusively; I also have an RD session up to a Windows VM all day every day for other reasons, and run Outlook there. The gap that drives me to Outlook/Exchange is scheduling. It just works, and works in a way that nothing else I've seen approaches -- even when messaging people outside our org.
I wish Apple calendaring was this good. I really do. But it's not.
