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.

Improves productivity and allows team collaboration in organizations
Previously, my company did not use a unified communication tool. For unified communication, my company started to use Microsoft 365 Business. My company used to use technology like Slack for team collaboration. My company used to use local products to manage emails. My company had a totally different license for Office 365. Microsoft 365 Business was chosen by our company as a solution to combine everything. My company does not use a similar technology, like Microsoft 365 Business. In general, my company improved by moving away from disintegrated technologies, and now we are able to integrate different technologies using Microsoft 365 Business.

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."
"The product integrates well with Windows and Microsoft solutions."
"Since most of our employees are familiar with Microsoft solutions Microsoft 365 Business is very easy to use for everyone."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"It is flexible."
"Microsoft 365 Business has an abundance of features."
"The adaptability is very easy."
"Microsoft 365 Business includes SharePoint which is a really good tool. Plus, there are so many apps that you can integrate with this solution."
"Microsoft 365 Business is useful. It's very useful because, for example, if I can't find my phone, I can just log in and find it at home."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"Upgrading from the old version to the new version of Microsoft Teams created a lot of issues for small companies and larger enterprises."
"I suppose it could be more secure; every solution could be more secure."
"There are a lot of bugs, which I don't know how many people have come across. In Microsoft Teams, when you share any screen, I can't see much because the Microsoft Teams Window takes the majority of the space. A task section comes up and then below the screen, a list with the names of the people you are collaborating with comes up. When you have to share the screen, you get a small window, which also depends on the screen resolution of the person seeing it and sharing it. You basically need to have an extendable monitor and display unit to see the bigger screen. There should be a full functionality for changing the desktop screen to full screen. That would really be fantastic. This is surely going to be a critical area. If you see Zoom and Cisco WebEx, you get the full wider screen. In Microsoft Teams, voice quality can be made much better. I think the codex part can be something on which they can work further. In Microsoft Outlook, the GUI is years old, which is boring and makes you want to switch to the postal way of sending emails. They must change the GUI. I am a bit skeptical about the promises that are made by Microsoft. Even though Microsoft makes promises that your data will reside on the servers within your country. I don't think it is so, and the corporate data, the governmental data, and the patient data are still in Europe. In terms of the land laws, even if I have an agreement with Microsoft that my data should not be shared with any other countries, at the end of the day, the data is residing on some other land. So, the land laws of that particular country have the right to have access to the data that is residing on the server of a particular continent. So, the government can intercept the data. That's why I'm a bit skeptical. However, so far, no cases have come up related to this, but one day, it may come up. I hope Microsoft will find out a permanent solution for that. People are becoming more aware of privacy."
"It would be ideal if there were fewer features. I'd like it better if it had a watered-down version where you didn't have to have all of this extra stuff included."
"Microsoft 365 Business could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"The solution could improve by providing more customization for the user interface."
"It would be better if they offered more integrations to integrate with other platforms. It should also allow the content to be accessed over the LTI."
"They need more tutorial training about using the advanced features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are interconnected. There are different levels of licensing."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive. We recommend customers purchase annual subscriptions because they receive a discount of two free months."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. Its price could be better."
"Everything is offered as a bundle package."
"We are on an annual license for the solution. The solution could be cheaper overall."
"The licenses are available for a fair price."
"The implementation is company-wide and is already very flexible price-wise."
"It could be a little less expensive."
