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.
It’s one of the better ones, and basic functionality is braindead, but I’ve definitely found some pain points.
My work requires us to use company branded video chat backgrounds 🤮. Whatever way my co-worker deployed them, they aren’t available through the mobile app.
There’s a feature to create unified groups (Teams groups) with membership lists hidden from non-members. It is only available through PowerShell.
Got users that want to use their group like a distribution list? They all have to personally choose to subscribe to incoming email. You can set the group to auto-subscribe new members, but subscribing existing members requires some basic PowerShell fuckery.
Sharepoint backend for file sharing. Less said about that shit the better.
If a user’s display name updates, how it syncs to different places that display their name in Teams and how long that takes is inconsistent as all hell.
Better hope you never get a ticket from your legal team to pull chat history. Pain in the ass to do, horrid fucking output format.
No way I’ve found to disable the damn upsell “Get Premium” button. Granted I haven’t checked in a while.
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.
Good to remember that the client for Teams isn’t you - it’s your IT department

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.
