Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

We are using Access, which is part of the Microsoft 365 Business, to analyze databases together as a team. Additionally, we use the other program as part of the package to work collectively on other files and documents.

The solution comes with many applications as part of the package which is useful.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

We have approximately 25 users using this solution in my organization.

The technical support need to improve, I have had bad experiences.

The installation is straightforward and takes approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation myself and we need one person to do the maintenance of the solution.

We are on an annual license for the solution. The solution could be cheaper overall.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten. 

I primarily use the solution for Teams and other Microsoft applications.

We use it in the office for communication, security, file transfers, cloud access, and the company portal. All of its basic services are leveraged.

The solution is very simple to use.

The product has a pretty nice interface.

There is good support on offer.

The solution provides regular updates.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward.

The stability is great, both on the PC and on mobile.

The scalability of the solution is very good.

We've found that the product works well on Apple products as well. there are no compatibility issues.

The solution could still use better integration with Apple infrastructure. They should offer better support for iOS devices and more regular updates for iOS, as it's working pretty well for Microsoft solutions and for Windows systems, yet it does not work quite as well for iOS. 

I've been using the solution for a few years at this point. It has been quite a while.

We've found the stability to be good. It's stable on both mobile and desktop versions. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is very good. It's great for companies that have 500 or more employees. We have around 1,000 users and it's been great. It can handle a lot of people. In my office alone there are about 150 users.

It is my understanding that we don't have plans to increase usage.

The technical support is very good. they are helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of support on offer. We also have staff on-site that can answer questions if we have any. Our IT team is very knowledgeable. They typically have been able to handle any questions we have and if they can't they can always go directly to Microsoft.

The solution is very easy to install. It's not overly complex or difficult. A user shouldn't have any issues with the process.

That said, I did not personally deploy the product. I just use it. We have five people on staff that handle deployment and maintenance tasks. 

The company provides the solution to me. I can't speak to the licensing or costs.

We do have an enterprise-level licensing agreement with Microsoft.

I'm an end-user and a customer. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. A lot of other companies already use it. It's quite popular.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We primarily use it in our company for business purposes. It's mandated that we use it. Our company uses it primarily for the Microsoft Office Suite - including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is used for everyday work in the office.

We have found One Note and One Drive to be very useful applications.

The solution is very easy to use and is designed to be very user-friendly.

We've found the solution to be quite stable.

The scalability is good. It's been sufficient for our office needs.

The initial setup is extremely simple and straightforward.

The solution could provide us with more storage. It's always good to have more space available if we need it.

It would be ideal if the licenses covered more devices. It would be nice if one license, for example, allowed a user to access it from at least five devices.

Microsoft should add Visio to their business suite and not have it as a separate application.

I've been using the solution for at least two years at this point. It's been a while.

The solution, over, has been very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance has been reliable.

The solution can scale well. It is my understanding that we have one terabyte of storage and I'm not yet filling it up completely. It's sufficient enough for us in terms of size and scope.

We have about 200 users on the solution currently.

We likely will expand the usage. If we add employees, we will add them to the solution. As the business grows, our use of this product likely will too.

I've never been in touch with Microsoft's technical support. We have our own in-house IT engineers, and, if we run into any issues, we call them.

That said, there haven't been any issues with this product and therefore technical support hasn't really been required.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very easy and quite straightforward. 

You just need an internet connection, a working account, and that's it. It's very fast to deploy.

I set the solution up myself. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant. It was very easy to handle without outside professional help.

The solution offers different licensing options. My understanding is that they have a lifetime license as well. Although I use this solution through my company, if I were to purchase it myself, I would likely choose to go with a lifetime license.

Our company provides us with Office 365 and I am using it on my phone, on my tablet, and on my laptop. I use the company account.

I'd rate the solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a nine. There isn't any other solution on the market currently that can compare to it or compete with it. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

I primarily use the solution for documents and email.

I've used Microsoft for the last maybe 25 years to 30 years. I just use it due to the fact that that's what we're using at work. I have no choice. That's what we're using. Overall, over the years, I've been happy to use it. After so long, I've grown comfortable with the interface and how it works.

The solution is stable.

The solution has amazing integration, however, I never use that aspect.

I've used the solution for so long, I am very comfortable with it. I don't recall feeling anything was missing in terms of features or capabilities.

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 stuff included. It would just be easier to find the things that you use all the time if that were the case. For example, it has a lot of mail features I have no need for.

I've been using the solution for years. It's been a while. I'm not sure of the exact amount of time. It might be as much as 25 to 30 years, at least as far as using Microsoft is concerned.

The product is stable. There are no bugs and glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. In general, it's reliable and the performance is good. I have no complaints.

I can't speak to the scalability. It's not something I handle directly or make decisions around. I've never tried to scale the solution. It's simply on my laptop and I work on it. That's about the extent of my involvement.

We have an organization of 8,000 people. Likely, everyone in the company is using it to some extent.

While I am not a decision-maker in the company, it's likely we will continue to keep using the product.

I've never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

IT deploys the solution for us, the users. I'm not sure how the initial setup happened.

When I received the laptop, the solution was already installed and ready to go.

I can't speak to what type of maintenance is needed if any. it's not an aspect of the solution I handle.

Our IT team handled the implementation process.

I don't pay for the solution directly. Likely, my employer does. I don't deal with the pricing or licensing aspects of the solution.

I'm not sure if our organization looked at any other options before choosing this solution. I'm not a part of that decision-making process.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're currently using. I don't know the version number off-hand.

I'd recommend this solution to other organizations. I'd rate it ten out of ten. It's worked well for me and I'm very comfortable with the product.

I use the solution for documentation.

It is easy to use and the features are good.

The solution could integrate better with other products such as Skype and Zoom, at the moment it slows down the computer.

I have been using the solution for more than a year.

The solution is scalable to meet your needs. We have tens of thousands of users using this solution in my organization.

Our technical team did the implementation of the solution.

We pay for a corporation license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for various tasks as it is a bundle of products. I use Outlook for messaging, Visio for chart modelling, PowerPoint for presentation, Excel, Word, and OneNote. For me personally, OneNote is mostly helpful application.

When trying to compare other products there are not a lot of product that can even compare with the functionality. There are many products bundled together.

I think every product manager has to use the products by himself because I am a product manager in my company for years, I have seen rudimentary mistakes. For example, in previous versions, there were no problems with simple operations. Currently, I see unstructured development. In previous versions it was always stable, now they focus on un-useful features, instead of useful ones.

Some of the functionality in the solution needs to improve. For example, when receiving a message in Outlook regarding the start of a meeting, it is not easy to connect, pick a microphone, or click the link.

Some of Google services are better than the ones with this solution.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

I observe the dynamic of Microsoft products from unstable to more stable. They have improved over the years from critical mistakes. For example, Microsoft Teams, strange product, but now I can say it is a good product with mistakes, often unstable, but I observed the solution getting better over time. They need some more work done on stability.

I have 3,000 employees in my company using the solution.

I have used the solutions technical support in the past and I received an answer but it did not have the solution. It was a standard automated message. They could improve on the agent's knowledge for dealing with issues.

I used Lotus from IBM in the past and it was terrible. I decided to find a new solution without Lotus. It was very hard to work with Lotus and other IBM product. Additionally, I have used Google products too.

I ordered this solution and the supply manager installed it. They had no problem.

We have an IT division in my company that manages all the deployments.

There is a licensing fee that is quite expensive. However, the solution is useful and the price is equal to the value.

Microsoft wonders me, I am quite satisfied with this solution. I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for our office administration purposes, emailing, and document sharing.

The most valuable features are that it is quite robust and is a collaborative model. For example, if I have opened a file in Word or Excel, every member of the organization who is logged in with their accounts at that same time can collaborate on the same document. We don't have to create multiple copies.

I like auto-server mode and the fact that you can unify them under one platform.

The fact that they are able to save directly to cloud storage and collaborate is something that is helpful.

The pricing can be reduced.

I don't like the number of email notifications that are sent, it's too often. I receive emails every day. It would be better to have weekly updates with one summary or have the summary every fortnight.

I would like to be able to connect Power BI to data sources easily. The Enterprise level comes with gateway connectivity, and that comes with many permissions. I understand that they are concerned about security, but they don't make it easy to automatically link your Power BI workflow to your apps such as Excel, PowerPoint, data sources, Access, and to your Microsoft flow at an enterprise-level deployment. It would be good to have a back-to-back connection between applications.

I have been using this solution for two years.

We are using the 365 Enterprise, which is the lastest one.

This solution is quite stable.

This is a scalable solution.

We are a small organization aiming to grow. We have three core users and adding another one at the end of this month.

The technical support is very good. When I first signed up, I received a call and they spent close to an hour going over everything, step by step. They were quite helpful and very patient with me during that process. He went beyond his real competency by assisting me. This experience helped me appreciate Microsoft packages and services.

I have always used Microsoft. I have set up the normal Microsoft Office versions that you can install, such as 2013, and 2016.

Primarily I use two systems, Windows and Linux, but for office administration purposes, Office is the leading solution provider. Linux is mostly for deep development and server setups.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I had some challenges because I have approximately seven different applications on my computer that are directly related and connected to the cloud. It took me 30 minutes to deploy.

There are many apps on the cloud for 365, but on your device, you are limited to anywhere from nine to eleven.

The price just keeps going up and it never comes down, but the service that you receive with the support is worth it.

It works out to be $12.50 per user per month. For us, it will cost approximately $50.00 for four users per month. This doesn't include the cost for other licensing on other app subscriptions.

We have a setup file that we are running on our systems but most of the functionalities and features are from the cloud.

I would recommend this solution. The challenges with technologies are very dynamic. It changes daily based on the requirements and the scope.

If we look at the world right now, we are moving towards digital platforms at our premises due to the non-contact, issues of working from home, being able to pay people, and needing to have meetings.

Proof of concept is okay when you are trying to purchase or have a trial to purchase. You start the first month on a free platform. It is nice because the first month is free.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It is an indispensable tool in the planning of architectural projects, it allows us to organize and manage the stages of the project, process metric calculations and gives vivid memories of the work. Having all the office tools integrated and online facilitates us to share and edit the information from different equipment and devices.

• It is effortless to implement which ensures the whole team can handle the tools without problem, both the most used, like Word and Excel to make simple documents, and others like PowerPoint for the presentation of architectural projects to customers.  
• It also supports using Skype for remote meetings without major problems, asides being able to support cloud storage which is very useful.

• From my personal use, I have found using OneNote indispensable, very often I use it during the day for important reminders and scheduled tasks. Its latest versions have greatly improved its efficiency and usefulness at the fact of being able to insert images into the notes.
• Skype is also very useful for making video calls to architects who are on site for urgent adjustments.

• I am very disappointed that this version does not include the Microsoft Project tool, which is essential in our area of ​​work to plan projects. 
• Outlook has always left me unhappy with its interfaces, although it has improved in its latest updates.

We have not experienced major problems with the program, some of the errors were solved using tutorials in the network.

We used the traditional desktop version but decided to change to the Microsoft 365 Business version since it offers the opportunity to work online and share the information efficiently, which is much more useful.

It was really simple.

It was implemented internally in the project planning department.

It is a reasonable and acceptable value for the utility and functions that it incorporates.

We evaluated using Google Docs but we are Microsoft users, and for that reason, we decided to continue with their tools.

It is advisable to have a basic knowledge of traditional office tools to be able to get the most out of it.
