Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

In my case, I have a lot of different email domains and they're all hosted in the same environment. With the older exchange on-premise, that gave a lot of conflict with the user IDs, as the client runs on the same workstation. That usually started a lot of headaches for me and my IT supplier. With Office 365, that's no longer a problem.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is very good.

When you're looking at the management of the endpoints, for example, Intune leaves a lot to be desired.

If you're looking at Microsoft 365, Intune is part of that as well and Intune is kind of a nightmare.

The Office platform hasn't changed too much, apart from the fact that the server backend has moved to the cloud. In the cloud, some things work a little better and then some things work a little worse than before.

I've been using the solution for about one and a half years at this point.

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

The solution can scale well. If a company needs to expand it, it can.

I don't have experience with technical support. We got it outsourced, so I don't need to contact Microsoft myself, apart from when I put my IT architect hat on. For my employer, I need to deal with Microsoft in terms of license procurements and so on, however, for the rest, for the technical stuff, we don't need to contact Microsoft.

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'm looking at it from two perspectives, one from my employer and one from my own company. And yeah, within my own company, I don't have problems with managing endpoints or whatever. The only thing I had was, with the multiple user IDs on the same backend, which now is no problem anymore. That used to be a big problem. They've fixed it now.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I would recommend, if you have an extensive older environment, and you're migrating towards Microsoft 365, to get a partner who has a lot of experience in doing these kinds of migrations. I would take very much into consideration that, if you have a company that has extensive contact with the outside world using email, and then generic mailboxes, and all that stuff, group mailboxes, the world actually changes when you move to Microsoft 365. That takes a lot of adjustment and it takes a lot of work during the transition. The quality of the IT partner that advises you, assists you, manages this for you, can to a large part be graded upon how this piece of the entire puzzle is managed. The problem we had was that there were a lot of changes from the older setup compared to the new setup in 365, and that cost us months of trouble.

We primarily use the product for a variety of work processes. I use it for my daily communication. We use the chat functionality, doing video calls, and other Microsoft-related things. 

It is a stable solution so far.

The solution is scalable.

The solution has a lot of great useful features for communication.

The solution could be more streamlined. The enterprise version should only contain enterprise features and not other items that aren't business-related items. 

I've used the solution for a few years. I've used the solution for as long as I've worked with the company I'm at now. It's been a while. 

We have found the solution to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance is good. We don't worry about it crashing or freezing.

The solution has been scalable so far. We have no problems expanding it.

I'm not sure how many actual users are in our organization.

I haven't contacted technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I was not personally involved in the setup process. I cannot speak to how easy or difficult the implementation would have been. I am unsure of if it was difficult, or easy, for example.

I have not handled anything related to costs. 

I don't handle the licensing aspect of the solution. Therefore, I cannot speak to how much the company pays in order to use the product.

My understanding is that we are using the cloud deployment model, or maybe a hybrid. Some parts are cloud, some parts are local.

We're using the latest version of the solution at this time. However, I cannot speak to the exact version number. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We have been happy with how it works in general.

I would recommend this solution to other users and companies.

We mainly use the solution for business communication, particularly the Teams feature. We're customers of Microsoft and I'm a manager of software development.

The most valuable feature is OneDrive. It does everything in the one place and then you can use it to extract anywhere.

I'd like to see some extra basic features included in the package. 

I've been using this solution for a couple of years.

The solution is stable. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10. 

We use Microsoft 365 Business for emails in Outlook.

Having everything in one platform, that is integrated, helps us to save time. We have better Communication and Collaboration.

Managing the complete mailbox, the email thread. The features such as meetings connected with Microsoft Teams and the integration is fabulous.

It works perfectly.

The dashboard is an area of improvement. It is needed for the summary of the device. Telling how many emails you have, and what needs to be responded to. 

AI-based intelligence should be more intuitive. For example, in Google, you can schedule a meeting and Google will ask you if it should schedule a meeting based on your email. It will tell you the times that are available. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for one year.

Microsoft 365 Business is a stable product. We have not experienced any issues with bugs or glitches.

It's a scalable product. My organization has 20,000 people who are using it.

We have not contacted technical support.

Previously, we used G-Suite, Google, and Gmail but we find that Microsoft is better.

The initial setup is quite easy for me, but it was done through my team.

I am not aware of the pricing.

We are currently evaluating MDM software for implementation in our company.

We are looking for a new product. We are doing comparisons and analyzing different products.

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

It's very useful to share documents with people. You can also make some comments so people can see them and you can do that while you are working on those documents. The main use case is managing the documents and PowerPoint presentations in the company. We also use Excel and there's the possibility of working with more people on one document simultaneously.

It's very easy to work and identify with other people.

The solution is great for sharing documents and collaborating in real-time.

Microsoft Teams is a perfect way to connect with other people in order to chat in meetings, share your screen, and do other collaborative tasks.

It's very stable which is good. When you want to connect with someone, everything is always working perfectly. 

Sharing screens, even on mobile devices, is great.

The initial installation is easy.

I really like this current version due to the fact that it gives you advice on how to deliver your presentations and some design ideas, which is quite helpful.

It would be helpful if the product offered a way to filter out background noise. Sometimes people connect in cafes and it's so loud in the background. If they could find a way to filter that out, so you could hear the speaker, that would be great.

It would be ideal if some applications, such as PowerPoint, were more flexible. The online and desktop versions should have the same user experience. 

The purchase process needs to be streamlined. I really struggled just to purchase the solution.

I've been using the solution for more than one or two years. 

The stability has been good. the product is reliable. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is consistent. 

In terms of handling multiple people in a meeting, the scalability seems to be pretty good. Many people can join a meeting and you can still share your screen without issue.

I don't really deal with technical support. I usually turn to FAQs and look for answers there. I don't contact anyone directly. 

While it was very easy to install it, it was very difficult to purchase it as I was trying to download an account, and then it said that I couldn't do it. Then, they made me download another application that was similar to an authenticator. I did it with my phone number and I couldn't do it straight away. It took me maybe more than one hour just trying to purchase it. In the end, I had to put in a Gmail email address. Then, with that, I did the authentication, and finally, I could put more of my details to prove the purchase. Overall, I didn't really like that part of the experience.

The solution was difficult to purchase. they put up too many barriers and make the process confusing. 

Currently, I have a recurring monthly license. 

I did not look at other options before choosing this product. 

I've used it here and there, and have recently purchased and downloaded it to my own computer.

As a cloud-based solution, I am always using the latest version. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. Mostly, I'm very happy with its capabilities. 

I'd recommend it to other users. 

The product has multiple use cases. We have solutions for installing endpoint remote work. We have solutions for ERM, ADF systems, and we have systems for cybersecurity.

It's a good solution for enterprise-level organizations.

Microsoft is a very trusted brand.

It's very good that it's an all-in-one solution with many Microsoft applications bundled within it.  

It has great tools built in that offer protection of our information.

The product scales well.

We've found the stability to be very good.

It would be good, for example, if the solution offered some programs within the solution that could provide training the personnel to use the product. 

It would be ideal if they could improve the cybersecurity of the endpoints, and provide pictures of new zero-days cybersecurity threats as soon as possible.

We've been using the solution for two years or so. It's been a while. We got it with our official licenses from Microsoft Business Solution.

The stability of the solution is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It doesn't give us any trouble. Its performance is reliable.

The scalability is very good. It's great for enterprises and a company can expand it to meet its needs.

We currently have 300 users on the solution right now.

We do have a plan to increase the usage. We want to, in fact, digitalize and transform our corporation, and improve our IT infrastructure, and therefore we have a plan for future growth.

We've been very pleased with technical support overall. They are quite helpful and responsive. 

The installation of the solution takes between two and four hours. It's pretty straightforward and doesn't take too long.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. There are some improvements that could still make it a better product.

That said, I'd recommend the product. Microsoft in Ukraine has a very good CLA, and second-line support is also very good. I'd recommend it to our counterparts and our partners.

We use all aspects of the solution, including SharePoint, Outlook, and Office - whole nine yards.

We're using SharePoint as cloud storage. We are usually using Microsoft Office. We're using Microsoft Project. We are using Microsoft Teams. We're using Skype for business. We're using Excel and Word. We tend to use everything more than average users are using its capabilities.

The integration between all of the apps is helpful. 

We're using Excel quite a bit, including Visual Basic, including macros, including all kinds of features there, to do reporting and to generate various reports. This is being used, it is good, and its functionality is great.

Microsoft Project is also used quite a bit and we like how easy it is.

However, some things and applications are still not up to speed. For example, I'm talking to you through a Jabra earpiece. If I speak via Skype for Business, and I want to end the conversation, I can press a button on my earpiece and it drops the call. Skype on Teams doesn't work this way.

I find Microsoft Office 365 initial setup is very easy.

The stability is pretty good.

Microsoft has different tweaks on various interfaces. If you look, for example, at where the button to update Microsoft Office software is in Word, Excel, and Outlook, they're in three different places. They need to standardize the design in a lot of ways.

Once you update Office, there's a button which takes you to the Microsoft website that is supposed to show what is new in the latest release of Office. It hasn't been updated for at least half a year. Right now, what's listed there is from February.

Teams is, in some respects, lagging behind Skype for Business in some telephone-related features. For example, if I'm talking to you through our Jabra earpiece and if I speak on Skype for Business, and I want to end the conversation, I can press a button on my earpiece and it drops the call. However, Skype on Teams doesn't work this way. This is the telephony side and integration with voice devices could be better.

In Excel, Microsoft is creating better programming functionality, which would allow you to programme without actually programming, which is easier than Visual Basic. They call it Labmda functionality in a beta release, but they have not released it yet. I wish that it would have been available already.

The Office solution has collaborative capabilities, however, it's not as advanced as, for example, Google Docs. 

If Word colaborative work on a document works in most cases. However, in Excel, two people can work on the same document, however, it's not truly in real-time. 

The product can get expensive. You do need to pay for features and add-ons.

I would not be able to pin down exactly when we started using 365 Business as we have been using Microsoft projects for 25 years. However, when it switched to 365 Business, we started using it. That was a couple of years ago.

The solution is fairly stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't really have the best real-time collaborative aspects, however, that's more functionality as opposed to stability.

We have about 100 users on the solution so far. We haven't come across any issues with scalability so far.

We have connections to a person who worked at Microsoft, and often, when we have questions, we direct our queries to him instead of Microsoft directly.

We found the initial setup to be quite simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex.

I cannot recall the exact amount of time it took to deploy the solution.

The solution basically maintains itself. It's on the click-to-run version. It does its own updates. I'm trying to be on the biweekly schedule, so that, as soon as they released something new, I'm grabbing it. Sometimes, however, for example, this feature with lambda programming, which was to be released in March, has not come yet.

Beyond that, if any maintenance is needed, we have an IT department that can handle any tasks related to that.

I was able to handle the setup myself. It didn't require us to find an integrator or consultant to help us. It was pretty easy to handle in-house.

The solution can get quite expensive once you add everything that you need as an organization. You do need to pay for product features and add-ons.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

We are currently migrating to the cloud. Most of it's SharePoint, however, it's still a mix of on-prem and cloud. We have to do a complete migration to the cloud eventually.

While there may be some open-source tools on the market, we find that you do get what you pay for and Microsoft does offer quite a bit. In general, I'm mainly used to Microsoft and have been happy with it. I'd recommend it to others.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft 365 Business for our business environment and not for personal use.

I like that Microsoft 365 Business is very easy to use. It's a very good solution.

The price could be better.

My company has been using Microsoft 365 Business for at least a year. I have been using this solution for a month.

Microsoft 365 Business is a stable solution.

Microsoft technical support is quite responsive, and they usually solve your It's a big thumbs up to the guys at Microsoft Support.

I've used Office suite 2016 and 2019 before.

Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper. 

I would recommend this solution to new users. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft 365 Business a seven,
