Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…

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

"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"It's very easy to use."
"It's very user-friendly."
"Another nice thing is that Microsoft has infrastructure within our borders. From a GDPR point of view, our data needs to reside within South Africa's borders, and they've got data centers here. That helps because our government has stringent regulations that say the data we can't store data in the cloud outside of our borders."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"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."
"It is an excellent and powerful program."
"The scalability is okay."
"The storage portion of the solution is very good. It has a very large capacity."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft 365 Business is that I don't lose anything since everything is on the drive, and I can access it from anywhere."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product’s price could be improved. There are additional costs involved apart from standard licenses."
"The price of the Microsoft 365 Business is fair. It is a great suite of products, but then there are other great products on the market as well. The main concern is competition. With Microsoft generally, it comes down to what people have become familiar with, what people have grown up using when they were younger, and when they are older. It depends on the actual adoption of the environment that they work in. The price is not an issue, it is about what people are used to using, and what they are familiar with is what influences their purchase."
"There would be licensing costs because Microsoft 365 Business requires a product key and a license to be present in order to use its products."
"The price of the solution is costly but it is fair for what is offered. I have found that the billing model can definitely be improved. Currently, it is not very transparent. It is a big problem, especially in cloud-based models."
"The price is fine."
"We pay regular licensing fees to continue using Microsoft 365 Business."
"The monthly license of the solution is quite expensive."
"They offer corporate subscriptions for the platform. We have to renew it yearly."
