Microsoft support couldn't resolve it, eventually they gave up and pointed me to a community forum.

Complex and unintuitive navigation

App Developer

Occasional lag, notifications overload, and a cluttered interface can make navigation and focus challenging.

Administration

Navigation on the file-sharing tab can be cumbersome, e.g., selecting the back arrow takes you back to the first page of the file-sharing tab instead of the page prior.

44% of reviewers feel negative about Teams’ navigation. Users say the interface is cluttered and overwhelming, especially for new users or those managing multiple teams and channels. They report that finding specific features, switching between functions, or accessing files can be cumbersome and unintuitive. Reviewers mention that frequent interface changes and a lack of clear guidance make it harder to learn and use the platform efficiently, sometimes leading to frustration and lost productivity.

Inconsistent and overwhelming notifications

General Manager

Has bugs - sometimes loses message history, not synchronizing b/n desktop and mobile apps, not showing the correct status, not sending notifications on time, etc.

72% of reviewers feel negative about Teams’ notification system. Users indicate that notifications can be delayed, duplicated, or missed entirely, making it hard to stay updated on important messages. They find the notification settings confusing and sometimes overwhelming, with too many pop-ups or sounds, and difficulty distinguishing critical alerts from general updates. Reviewers also mention challenges with status changes, cross-device syncing, and the inability to easily manage or clear notifications, which can disrupt workflow.

Confusing file organization

System Architect

I can't delete a folder with a folder/file inside. While I am moving/deleting mass folders, I can only drill down to the bottom-est level and delete each files manually.

Director

It also does not allow you to drag and drop files in the share areas easily, you generally need to open Sharepoint in a browser window.

46% of reviewers feel negative about Teams’ file management. Users find the file structure confusing, especially when integrating with SharePoint or managing permissions. They report difficulties with organizing, moving, or deleting files and folders, and mention that collaboration features can break links or cause version control issues. Reviewers also note limitations in the online versions of Office apps, delays in file syncing, and challenges in locating specific documents, which can hinder efficient teamwork.

Resource-heavy and slow performance

Recruiter

The desktop application is a massive resource hog. If you are working on an older or slightly weaker PC, just having Teams open in the background will slow your whole machine down.

82% of reviewers feel negative about Teams’ performance and speed. Users report that the application consumes significant system resources, especially RAM, leading to slow load times, lag during meetings, and reduced performance on older or less powerful devices. They mention frequent issues with connectivity, especially on slow internet, and note that Teams can slow down other programs or even cause system freezes. Reviewers find these performance issues disruptive, particularly when multitasking or working under tight deadlines.

Frequent bugs and glitches

GRADUATE APPRENTICE TRAINEE

The main issue is the status show option; whenever I stay away from the Teams for a specific period, it shows the blank status, and I need to refresh the page.

71% of reviewers feel negative about Teams’ reliability due to bugs and issues. Users frequently encounter glitches such as incorrect status displays, login problems, crashes, and syncing failures. They report difficulties with document editing, integration with other Microsoft services, and inconsistent experiences across devices. Reviewers mention that updates sometimes introduce new problems, and troubleshooting can be time-consuming. These recurring technical issues are seen as a barrier to smooth daily operations.
