A great collaboration service for small organizations
The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Subscription model ensures continuous updates and connectivity across devices
The subscription model of Microsoft 365 Business is beneficial since it provides continuous updates, including functional updates and transformations of the product. This contrasts with older perpetual licenses that rarely received updates. The overall suite is very complete, and being tied to a vendor that improves week by week is of great value. Implemented features like sharing calendars and access to emails on multiple devices enhance basic functionalities that were previously lacking.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"Microsoft 365 Business's most important feature is mobility."
"It has file storage, file sharing, a provisioning box, and a SharePoint profile for each user."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"The integration between the applications is the most valuable. I can share things using my phone, computer, and OneDrive. It is very stable and fast. It is also user-friendly and scalable."
"The solution is nice and straightforward."
"You can have conference calls with different parties using video and voice."
"The Power BI environment and the integration between Power BI and SQL are the solution's most valuable features. The integration between products is great."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The user interface could be better."
"From the perspective of a developer, the interface could be more user-friendly. It is quite difficult to use."
"Price is an area for improvement, as spending less money would always be preferable. However, the comprehensive nature of the solution justifies the cost."
"They should offer better support for iOS devices and more regular updates for iOS, as it's working pretty well for Microsoft solutions and for Windows systems, yet it does not work quite as well for iOS."
"One of the only aspects that I do not like about Microsoft is that they release solutions into the market without testing them and rely on users to test them."
"The OneDrive part could be more user-friendly, because many people want to use it."
"I thought that Skype was a part of the product's offering, however, it's my understanding that that is not the case."
"There should be more alignment between Windows solutions, mobile solutions, and web solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The solution is expensive. Basic support comes free with the regular subscription but the premier support cost extra."
"The licensing fee is paid yearly."
"The License is on a yearly basis."
"As a customer, I would like the licensing fees should be cheaper."
"The price is high."
"The cost is on the high end, particularly when you have multiple users."
"We have an enterprise license, and we get some price off for that. Its price could be better for companies that are not using it massively."
"It is not so expensive."
