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

"The Teams integration and SharePoint functionality have helped with project management in work and school environments."
"Easy sharing of files between team members in different locations, using both OneDrive and Office 365 (desktop and online), has improved efficiency by two times."
"Office 365 has been user-friendly and easy to learn, and collaboration tools such as Teams are very useful, especially when managing our projects and gathering feedback from stakeholders."
"The features I have found most valuable in Office 365 are Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams, which are the mostly commonly used products in my organization."
"Especially now with Office 365, you can access your files always on the go—you do not have to use your laptop or connect to the company network, and as long as you have a device, even a mobile device, you can actually use it and access your emails."
"The integration with other applications is pretty good."
"The most valuable features of Office 365 include its ecosystem integration capabilities, allowing for seamless usage across different platforms."
"My advice to others looking into using Office 365 is to go for it because it's an all-in-one solution that they can use for collaboration and other things."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable, and 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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing."
 

Cons

"Currently, Microsoft can improve Office 365 by enhancing the persistence of the user experience from platform to platform and screen to screen, ensuring that wherever you log in, whatever you're doing, everything is still readily accessible and intuitive, as you left it."
"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request."
"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."
"I have contacted CrowdStrike for support regarding the same incident, and my experience was pretty bad."
"Sometimes the configurations of the error troubleshooting are pretty problematic and there are a lot of issues that happen even if you follow the step-by-step guides. They can work on fixing this issue. If there are a lot of issues in your Windows or your Office or anything, you restart your PC and it works. They need to get rid of this need."
"I'm not happy with how Microsoft Office 365 works."
"In the next release, I would like to have a more intuitive tutorial."
"Technical support from Microsoft really needs to improve because sometimes we have cases that drag on for months."
"Right now, we don't have any monitoring."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good reporting and good value subscriptions for international calls."
"I would rate the solution 3 out of 5 for the price. I think Microsoft presents a good solution concerning the price."
"The price of Office 365 is very expensive."
"I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly."
"The pricing is good for all the features that we receive, e.g., Skype for Business."
"Licensing, billing, and accounting are available from the management interface."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them."
"We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions."
