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.

Excellent technical support, easy to install, but the price, while affordable, could be improved

Office 365 is scalable, but it is dependent on the situation. We don't have a problem with it from an organizational standpoint. They started with 100 employees and then added another 500 after six months, for a total of 600 employees. The setup of new users, new emails, and new applications to be assigned to the new users is straightforward. They also provide the PowerShell command, which they provided more, development type, like, for example, you can create users, not manually, but through a script that can create users, for example, 100 users in two, three minutes, and you don't do it manually. They're fantastic. My portfolio contains approximately 50 companies. Office 365 is our primary platform for the 50 companies. I only have one on G Suite, and the majority of them will be migrating from G Suite to 365 in the coming month.

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has."

"In the next release, I would like to have a more intuitive tutorial."

"There are some complexities to the initial setup if you use some of the more advanced features."

"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."

"The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot."

"It would be a fantastic opportunity if their solution could be used in combination with VoIP software, allowing you to combine VoIP software and Office 365 on a single platform."

"A need that a company like ours has is that we want to be able to have data flow into one tool, for example, for all the management of tasks through the company and workflow of who is doing what and so on. There are no real solutions for this at the moment in Office 365. It would be nice if they could implement this in the next release, so we can have one solution from one company giving us the whole data and flow of data into the company."

"If two people update the same file, it causes issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"Good reporting and good value subscriptions for international calls."

"The price of Office 365 is very expensive."

"The pricing is high and has actually caused us to limit the number of licenses we purchase due to budgeting."

"The pricing/licensing is easy to manage."

"For the moment, we are paying on a monthly basis because we are still adapting the support and how we want to proceed. I think we will move to paying for the annual license."

"Most of the time, we purchase Microsoft Exchange licenses, which are less expensive and provide only an email platform and 50 gigabytes of email storage for free."

"Licensing, billing, and accounting are available from the management interface."

"I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly."
