Few solutions are more essential to enterprise productivity and collaboration than Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. Microsoft 365 is the second most-used office suite in the world, with a 46% share of the market. Microsoft Teams had more than 320 million monthly active users by the start of 2024 and continues to grow, especially thanks to the integration of Copilot AI and value-adds like Teams Rooms and Teams Phone.

Microsoft Teams has become one of the most essential tools for collaboration and communication in the past few years. However, because of its now critical nature, Teams issues can cause big productivity problems in your business.

Organizations have invested billions in tools to make hybrid work as effective, productive and rewarding as it can be. That includes spending on premium solutions like dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms that provide rich communication and collaboration capabilities. A single Teams Room can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $60,000. The higher that price tag climbs, the more pressure IT departments are under to ensure seamless performance and an exceptional user experience.

But migrating to any new software is also a precarious time, and Teams is no exception.

Scale is a perennial challenge for most IT teams. While organizations expect the same performance and experience whether 500 users are accessing essential applications or 50,000, IT headcount rarely increases in proportion with organizational growth. This often leaves IT departments overtaxed and pressed to triage the most urgent concerns. But even that requires good data to inform decisions — which can be in short supply.
Organizations relying on Microsoft Teams Phone know that clear call quality is crucial for productivity and user satisfaction. Yet, when calls falter, the cause isn’t always on Microsoft’s end. Issues can arise from the user’s environment, PSTN integrations, the Microsoft 365 cloud, or other factors. So how can Teams Phone users quickly pinpoint and resolve these issues to keep communication seamless?

Enhanced visibility is crucial and to best meet current business needs requires an understanding of the level of satisfaction when using Microsoft 365. There is a growing demand to learn and know how users feel about the quality of their experience. Take a deep dive into the difference between Service Level Agreements and Experience Level Agreements and why the enhanced visibility is crucial to best meetyour current business needs.
As digital transformation accelerates, the user experience is becoming a critical priority for CIOs. A growing number of services are being delivered as cloud-based software as a service (SaaS), but infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams lack visibility and control of the user experience. Digital business initiatives can only be successful if the user's experience is a good one.
With over 200 million users of Microsoft 365 worldwide, it's evident that organizations are putting the productivity of their users into the hands of Microsoft's cloud-based office solution. From communications using products like Exchange Online, and Teams; to collaboration using SharePoint Online; to leveraging OneDrive for document storage and sharing; organizations shifting to Microsoft 365 rely heavily on these tools as the foundation for their operational ecosystem.
It has become the backbone of many organizations, where conference calls, meetings, collaboration, and sharing all take place. This dependency makes it a critical application that requires consistent optimal performance to effectively maintain user productivity. For most Microsoft 365 applications, monitoring performance of a service like Exchange Online revolves around Exchange-related services, logs, etc. With Teams however, ensuring optimal performance proves to be a more complex task, and even more so when utilizing native tools.
With increasingly complex systems sustaining mission-critical services, IT departments are hard at work designing business continuity strategies to avoid unpleasant surprises. Each year companies lose $26.5 billion in revenue due to IT downtime - either planned or unplanned. When there are critical application failures on the network the costs can hit a staggering 1 million dollars per hour lost in Fortune 100 companies.

Martello Technologies is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada with staff in Canada, Europe and the United States. We provide digital experience monitoring (DEM) solutions that monitor the performance of cloud collaboration and productivity tools to give enterprises insight into the user experience. Our products include unified communications (UC) performance analytics software, Microsoft 365 user experience monitoring software and IT analytics software.
Traditional network and application performance monitoring approaches lack insight into the user experience of cloud services. Martello’s digital experience monitoring (DEM) solutions provide deeper insight by correlating data on network and application performance with insight into the user’s experience of the service. While other DEM solutions can make this connection between performance and user experience, Martello takes this a step further, demonstrating to enterprises why the problem happened.
