Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

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.

If we have the email address and the password, we can access our documents from any system anywhere in the world.

The solution is quite friendly.

The price is the main issue. Not everyone can afford the product.

I have been using the solution since 2017. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. In my organization, 10 to 15 people are using the solution. We use the solution regularly. We need the files, drives, and presentations regularly.

The product is easy to set up. The deployment was not tough. We just need to get the login credentials.

I deployed the solution myself.

We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution. It could be more affordable.

I took feedback from others and learned about the solution’s features before using it. I would recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use a lot of the applications that come with Microsoft 365 Business, such as Sharepoint, Teams, and Outlook.

Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use. Most companies use Microsoft Windows as an operating system making the use of this solution straightforward. There is a small learning curve and it is something everyone can adapt to easily.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for approximately six years.

I would recommend this solution to others and we plan to continue using it in the future.

I have found Microsoft 365 Business to be stable.

Microsoft 365 Business is scalable.

We have approximately 6,000 using the solution in my organization.

The technical support is very responsive and they have different levels of support. However, the response time depends on the license that has been purchased.

When I joined this organization they had already installed Microsoft 365 Business, but the project took approximately six months. I have now onboarded the solution across the organization. Microsoft 365 Business is on the cloud making the installation straightforward. The deployment does not take a long time, you have to take time to migrate all of the users which was done in a phased approach. It took about six months to migrate everyone.

We have a team of five administrators that do the maintenance of the solution.

The price of the license for Microsoft 365 Business can be expensive for smaller businesses and should be adjusted. The overall pricing model can be improved upon.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

The solution is useful as it offers us the Office Suite and email features. For meetings, it's also useful to have access to Microsoft Teams.

The solution has been very stable.

The scalability is quite good.

The initial setup can be a bit complex. There are some advanced features or features not very easy to use. They may be more suited for people who have some IT knowledge.

If Microsoft could offer more support, that would be ideal. 

The solution could offer better email security or spam control and anti-phishing features.

I've been using the solution for around two years. It hasn't been too long. 

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. The performance is good.

We have found that the solution can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's easy.

Currently, we have about 500 people using it in our organization.

Microsoft needs to offer better technical support. We are not fully satisfied with the level of service we get. 

We did not previously work with anything similar. 

Our IT department handles any implementation.

The pricing varies according to which tier you are on. For Business Basic, the pricing is okay, however, for Business Standard or Premium, it's a little bit expensive.

Our company purchases licenses on a yearly basis.

We're customers and end-users.

We are using the latest version of the product. I cannot speak to the exact version number, however, we are using the Business Standard option.

I would recommend the solution. It's worth trying. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. we've mostly been happy with its capabilities. 

We use this solution for a number of reasons. We use it for email, antivirus, OneDrive, Teams, various planners, and Power BI.

We can use many features that are available on the cloud.

It's quite simple and informative.

The adaptability is very easy. It is connected to many other platforms which also makes it easier.

Security is an area that needs improvement. The advanced security would be at the ultimate operating system level with advanced security where you would not have to rely on third-party security.

I would like to see more security features included.

We have been using Microsoft as a product for a number of years, and we have been using Microsoft 365 Business for three years.

We are using the latest version.

Microsoft 365 Business is a stable product.

I don't have any issues with the scalability of this solution. We have approximately 180 people who are using it in our organization.

We have contacted technical support. 

You have partner support and you have general region Microsoft support.

They have primary level support and anything more than that goes to Microsoft directly.

Previously, we were using another solution, but Microsoft is easier and everything is synchronized.

The installation is simple. You can manage it yourself. 

Migration can be done through a partner or a migration team. For example, if you have a standalone device or wanted to migrate from any other mail platform, it can be done. It can be done yourself.

Generally, the length of time it takes the migration depends on the size of the partition, the number of accounts you need to migrate, and how many systems need to be done.

We completed the installation ourselves.

It's a cloud-based subscription.

The licensing fee is paid yearly.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

The solution is primarily used for a variety of tasks, from meetings and documents to file sharing. 

The solution is very scalable.

The stability and reliability are great.

Sometimes, the solution can be more scalable. Sometimes the app crashes in between calls and sometimes it hangs.

There are other kinds of problems with incompatibility issues with other types of software. 

I've used the solution for five years. It's been a while. 

The solution is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. However, we have had issues with it crashing and hanging in some cases, however, that might have to do with its general scalability.

The solution is typically very scalable. It's a cloud-based solution. Therefore, it can be scaled to any number of employees. However, we have had issues with it hanging or crashing, and we're not sure if this is based on the scaling or not. 

We have hundreds of thousands of people in our organization. Pretty much everyone uses it. 

I have never asked for any tech support, as we have our internal support team for Office 365, then most of the time, they are able to resolve anything. If they are not able to resolve it, we are not aware of that.

We have used some Google applications and other conferencing platforms, such as Skype.

I'm not really aware of the installation process, as we are at the end-user side, however, the services of the cloud are separate in the way that it is installed. We get our client software installed in our office machine, and therefore, we are not aware of the installation part as well. It's just on the machines and ready to go for us. 

The company purchases bulk licenses. However, I'm not sure how much they are. I don't deal with buying or negotiating the pricing. 

I'm a customer and I use it for business purposes. 

We are always on the latest version of the solution, as we are on the cloud, which is continuously and automatically updated. 

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

I'd recommend the solution to other companies, and most organizations are already using it. However, it depends upon the company, and how the security policy is, and whether they want to use a public cloud-based solution or not.

Excel, Word, Teams, and Outlook are the main solutions that we are using.

It is a standard and powerful tool. Because it is a standard tool, everybody uses it.

Their support should be improved in terms of faster response and better resolution. The price of its license should also be improved.

We have been using Microsoft products for more than 20 years. We have a contract with Microsoft for software licensing.

It is stable.

It is scalable in the sense that if you need more users, you can increase the number of licenses. Currently, we have 16 users in our organization. We don't have any plan to increase its usage.

I don't have a lot of experience with their support, but I don't like Microsoft's support. They are not fast, and they don't provide an exact solution.

We have been using Microsoft solutions for a long time. In the beginning, we used Office 123 and WordPerfect in our company.

It is easy to install. The duration depends on the network, but generally, we can do the installation in ten minutes.

We do it ourselves. We have three people for deployment and maintenance. Two of them are engineers, but one of them is not.

The price of its license should be improved. We have a contract for three years, but we pay on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.
