Question about MS Teams and Sharepoint sites [confusion]
I read your below article but I have confusions still. https://sharepointmaven.com/microsoft-teams-vs-sharepoint/ So if we create a channel and that is linked ultimately Sharepoint folders. So usi...
I'd say
MS Teams
- is good for "managerial" people, who need to keep everything under control in a single place
- is good for "active-collaboration-style" activities, i.e. Projects, PoC, brainstorming
Default retention period is 180 days (can be prolonged)
Permissions are simplified (you have owners and members only)
SharePoint Team site (standalone)
- is good for document-oriented people
- is good for large long-term document store, metadata enriched libraries etc.
- is good for large site collections, highly customized sites etc.
Can be connected to Office 365 group or MS team any time
Thanks for your inputs. May I know what are the limit of ms teams in details. im planning to build SharePoint sites but confused whether ms teams with SharePoint or only SharePoint would be good (definitely few years back i wouldn't ask this question bcoz ms teams was not there) and not sure ms teams based SharePoint how far it will go...who knows within few years SharePoint will gone and ms teams based SharePoint will be main stream.???
- I wouldn't treat them much different. It's really a question of is it a group connected SharePoint site or a comm site. Teams can be added at anytime to a group connected site. I always just create Group connected sites / Teams for private collab groups. If it's going to be open and or public, you can make the group public as well.
Only time I use SharePoint only sites is for Comm sites, when using them as public(org) facing sites used for News and finding content, HR portal for example. Or training sites etc. If it's a Team / collab area then it's a group site / Team.
