Collaboration has transformed how our teams work and Copilot now drives faster daily decisions

The interface for the security and compliance center could be simplified. It changes frequently, which can make it somewhat difficult for admins to stay up-to-date on where specific settings are located. The compliance center modification or improvement of Office 365 needs to be introduced. The rest of the features feel acceptable to me. The reason it is not a ten is because of the complexity of managing the vast array of admin settings, which requires a specialized IT team. Even though it meets industry standards for decent security compliance such as SOC and HIPAA, the complexity of managing the admin settings needs to improve.

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability

We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to deploy."

"I find Office 365 valuable because it is compatible across all companies, which is essential for our organization, and the flexibility to adjust subscriptions with headcount changes is an advantage for cost management."

"Teams has been really valuable recently as a feature of Office 365 when I've been working on projects where I've needed to collaborate with quite a large group of people."

"Many of the features in Office 365 are good, but I think Excel is a very good tool."

"The solution is quite intuitive and easy to use."

"The ChatGPT add-in that is accessible now for Excel is one of the most helpful features of Office 365 because it gives you the opportunity to process a lot of data in a really short time."

"Microsoft Teams is a very good option for me to connect within the organization or with my team; we can also connect with external teams, share links, share screens, and take control of other people's meetings."

"The ability to work with people remotely, collaborate online, and share files are the main benefits I receive from Office 365."

More Office 365 pros

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

Cons

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

"I rate the support of Office 365 a four out of five."

"One of the big changes is when Microsoft updates anything, they will switch where some of the settings are and where to find them, which becomes a little frustrating because you're used to it in one spot and it's someplace else."

"Using Visual Basic, I have had a lot of trouble with relative paths when programming for Excel, and sometimes it is very difficult to debug programs."

"Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution."

"Normally, they have a way to work with specific developments, and I think they shouldn't allow the partners to make some changes they have made. When I have a client with a lot of changes, we have a problem with that because there aren't rules to develop inside the ERP, so you can do anything."

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

"They should do more testing before product releases."

More Office 365 cons

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing is not really high, but one can get the software with the license key for free."

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

"The pricing/licensing is easy to manage."

"I would rate the solution 3 out of 5 for the price. I think Microsoft presents a good solution concerning the price."

"The pricing is good for all the features that we receive, e.g., Skype for Business."

"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."

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