Безопасность данных пользователей

User Data Protection

Microsoft Teams relies on the OneDrive cloud storage service and therefore cannot guarantee comprehensive protection of users' personal data from leaks.

TrueConf is deployed on your company's own hardware, ensuring secure workplace communications through media data encryption, operation within the corporate network, and local data storage.

«TrueConf allows us to hold secure meetings with officials in different ministries, being sure that our data resides within the government network. With TrueConf, we no longer require any other video conferencing system.»

Масштабируемая SVC-инфраструктура

Quality of Video Communication

Thanks to support for Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technology, TrueConf delivers optimal video quality across various connection channels.

Moreover, 4K UltraHD quality is available for online meetings, enabling video conferences and broadcasts of materials rich in fine details.

TrueConf is easy to use and the quality is very good. In Germany there are high data safety requirements and there are only a few conference solutions left, while TrueConf delivered very good and flexible options.

Расширенное управление раскладками

Advanced Layout Management

Microsoft Teams does not allow customization of participant arrangement, offering only a standard template.

TrueConf supports flexible meeting scenarios — from adaptive layout adjustments to granular control over participants’ devices, including enabling or disabling cameras and microphones.

«TrueConf helps us run effective video meetings. Depending on the meeting’s type, we select one of TrueConf ’s video conferencing modes and communicate without limits. Additionally, thanks to BYOD concept, there isn’t much need for purchasing additional video conferencing equipment.»

Multi-Vendor Interoperability

TrueConf Server natively supports SIP/H.323 protocols and seamlessly integrates with all video conferencing and telephony hardware. Microsoft Teams, however, works only with select devices and mandates third-party service subscriptions for compatibility.

FAQ

Is there an on-premises version of Microsoft Teams?

No, Microsoft Teams is pure cloud-based software built to work with SharePoint Online and Azure Active Directory. While it is possible to gain some on-prem functionality in hybrid environments, the feature set of Microsoft Teams will be significantly curtailed.

Why shouldn't you use Microsoft Teams?

1. Confusing file structure. All files uploaded to private and group conversations go to the shared file section of the channel. If you try to organize these files by moving into named folders, file links in conversations will break.

2. Limited number of channels. Teams limits users to 200 public and 30 private channels which is quite problematic for enterprises with many teams and departments.

3. Unintuitive navigation. You may find yourself clicking through multiple tabs and sections to locate something⁠. And users with less technical knowledge might have trouble accessing certain features of the app.

4. Imperfect screen sharing. When sharing Teams call window or some other app on your desktop, the screen edges aren’t clearly visible. You can fix this by sharing the entire desktop, but this may violate your privacy. Plus, the app is a bit glitchy when trying to give screen controls to other participants during a conference.

5. Cybersecurity risk. Once you add users to Microsoft Teams, they automatically get full access to all channels and information exchanged.

Is Microsoft Teams free for enterprises?

Microsoft Teams free tier offers unlimited chats, audio and video calls, 2GB of personal storage, and 10GB for shared files. This platform integrates well with a wide range of team collaboration apps and can unite up to 300 users from inside and outside your organization into a single network.

Note that you can use Microsoft Teams Free for a one-year trial only if you haven't had a commercial Office 365 subscription. Otherwise, you’ll be redirected to a managed account for your existing plan.

Does Microsoft Teams implement Active Directory?

Microsoft Teams supports the same user authentication technologies as Microsoft 365 and Office 365, including cloud (Azure AD) and hybrid (AD DS) scenarios.

 • Cloud. User accounts are created and managed in Microsoft 365 or Office 365 and stored in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

 • Hybrid. User accounts are managed locally in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest.
