Office 365 Reviews

Within this solution, I've been using Excel most of the time, as well as Microsoft Word. Excel is the main reason to use this product, however. 

The formulas are great. You can play with Excel and you can put the formulas in and kill some time. It is very, very useful for the user.

The solution is quite stable.

It's inexpensive to license. 

The user interface is great. 

The solution gives users a lot of different options. 

I don't see any areas of improvement right now in terms of features. That said, I'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product.

I've been using the solution over the last six months, and I have been using it quite regularly.

The solution is very stable. This is true, especially in Excel. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's a very reliable product. 

The scalability is great. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

I would estimate that 80% of the people in our company are using Excel. That's over 60 people, for sure.

I've never directly dealt with technical support in the past. 

I didn't handle the initial setup. I can't speak about if it is simple or complex to execute.

Someone from within our organization handled the initial setup. 

We do pay a monthly licensing fee, however, I cannot speak to what the exact costs are for the company. 

It's not overly expensive. It's my understanding that it is a pretty inexpensive product. 

I'd rate the cost a two out of ten in terms of how expensive it is. 

I'm a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution I am using. 

I'd advise those who want to use the solution, especially Excel, that they should do some studying first. It will make everything easier once you start using it.

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's great. It's a really excellent solution. 

We use Office 365 for documents, like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint Excel, and Teams.

Microsoft Teams helped us to collaborate more. We use the call feature to communicate with colleagues, and the document sharing feature is a secure way of sharing through the cloud.

We use it more for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. With the addition of Teams, which is an added feature that I like. 

In terms of the most valuable feature, I use Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Teams, but Teams is new for me.

Performance-wise, Office 365 needs a lot of bandwidth. The problem is, the solution requires very high bandwidth and internet usage. Meaning, the desktop application consumes a lot of internet data. Sometimes, when the connection is slow, it won't work and it won't load. This is an area for improvement for Office 365.

In the next release, I would like for Office 365 to be more of a finished product. It should have the ability to place calls and do system messaging. Those would be good improvements.

I would also like for the license to include a video cloning feature.

I have been using Office 365 for five years. 

I never contacted Office 365 support because we have our IT support person who resolves any issue we face.

The initial setup for Office 365 was straightforward.

I deployed Office 365 in my machine. The deployment was really straightforward and took just half an hour.

Before choosing Office 365, we didn't evaluate other options, because we've been using Microsoft Office products over the last decade. Microsoft Office is the preferred choice here in my country.

We purchased the Office 365 license for 40 users. The solution is deployed in a single location. We are only 55 people in the office.

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.

My rating for Office 365 is eight out of ten. I would give it a ten if the bandwidth issue was solved because currently it uses up a lot of bandwidth, plus if they added more features to it.

I am using the new version, which they launched at the beginning of this year in Portugal. Business Central is the new version of the ERP for Microsoft.

The solution can be deployed on a public cloud and on-premises.

My company implements the solution, but the clients I do projects for usually have 50-60 users.

The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good.

I'm working with logistics a lot, and I'm seeing that the Business Center is not so good because I've been working in IT since 1984, so I have some experience in logistic systems. Three years ago, I had a project with a big client here in Portugal and I started using Microsoft Navision, which is the old version of Microsoft ERP. Now we are changing to Business Center, but it's not very good.

I think Office 365 is a good ERP for services but not so good for businesses, for industries, or for logistic systems. Those areas could be improved.

I'm not happy with how Microsoft Office 365 works. 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. I think that's not a good point.

I think SAP is very well prepared for that compared to Microsoft because it has the rules that departments have to follow. So, there should be more rules regarding restrictions for partners.

Procurement could also be improved.

I have been using this solution for about three years.

The scalability depends on the service area. For example, the scalability is good for the public sector, banks, and companies that are doing projects. For businesses like that, it's very useful. But for industrial and logic sectors, it's not scalable. 

There are some simple ERPs that are much better than Microsoft Navision and Business Center. For scalability, SAP is much more powerful than Microsoft.

I would rate technical support 4 out of 5.

I worked with SAP for three years. For maybe 15 years, I worked with another Portuguese ERP.

I switched to Microsoft because I started working for a multinational company. The problem is that for software that is made locally in Portugal, if you start a project with a company, you are stuck with that company. You can't change solutions, so you have a big investment in that kind of process. 

I think it's better to work with international products, because if you don't like that partner, you can switch to another partner. I think that is the best reason for one company to choose software that is implemented with lots of tech companies, because you can change and use another company.

Initial setup is very easy.

Some clients are starting to choose to pay monthly, and I think it's easier for them to understand the impact of the cost to the company.

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

I would rate this solution 5 out of 10. 

For someone who wants to implement this solution, my advice is to ask your company to study the business and the needs of the project really well before choosing it. 

When a company wants to buy a solution, they usually don't understand what they want. They know they have some reasons to change or buy a new solution, but normally they are not very well prepared for a change. I think companies should make a study and then choose the best solution for their company's needs.

Our team is comprised of five people in a small consultant firm. Office 365 allows for all team members to work on the same files at the same time on OneDrive while using the market standards (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) for file editing and creation.

We've experimented with free options, but there is no point of trying to work in a file format that is different from that of our clients. That's the main reason that led us to Office 365.

All of our workstations are Windows 10 and Office runs perfectly. 

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. Before using this solution, we had to rely on email to send files back and forth. No more renaming a document V1, V2, V10, Vn. Just open, edit, and let the seamless integration of Office and OneDrive deal with versions and edits. 

The most valuable feature is the integration with OneDrive, which has allowed us, a small business, easy access to a cloud environment, with no need to back up the data from five different computers.

The multiple-user editing capability is helpful, improving the productivity of our team on creating and editing files together, even when in different physical locations. 

File formats that are the market standard (docx, xlsx, pptx), is an important and relevant need to deal with clients' provided files. 

In general, the desktop apps could be a little leaner and open faster in less powerful machines. 

The interface for Outlook could use a refresh, to make it more like the other software in the suite.

Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application.

Office 365 is very stable. Actually, it is more stable than other similar solutions we have tried in the past (Libre Office).

MS has excellent support and tech support. They really engage in solving the issues you might have with the software. 

We tried Google Docs, but it messed the formatting on our complex - designed - documents. We have also tried Libre Office, but with similar results. Only by using Office 365 were we able to read and create documents without any formatting issues. 

The initial setup was easy and our team handled it by themselves. MS support gave some advice when needed. 

We handled the implementation in-house. 

We did not evaluate options beyond Google Docs and Libre Office. Once we understood that there was no point on going against the market standard for file formats, we went straight to Office 365. 

If you need, reach out to MS support. They were really helpful in setting things up for our team.

We use this solution alongside Sharepoint and Teams.

It's primarily used for collaborative work. We use Teams, for example, to stay connected. Word we are using as a word processor. Then for exchanging emails we are using Microsoft Outlook. There are also certain basic analytics that we are using this Excel. We're taking advantage of the whole suite of tools.

It's a good solution in general. It's very feature-rich.

The product is a very good collaborative tool. 

We are using the entire Microsoft product, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Apart from, them, we are also using Teams. There's a lot there in terms of apps and features. 

The Channels and Microsoft Teams are the most valuable aspects of the product.

The initial setup is simple.

It is a very stable product.

You can scale the solution if you want to.

The cost of the product is not overly expensive. 

We find that there is an abundance of features. Nothing is missing for us right now. 

We have found that, with Teams, if you are including one more person who is not in the company ecosystem, supposedly I'm inviting them as a guest in the chat. However, when I do that, I can't share files.

I've been using the product for the last two years. It hasn't been too long just yet. 

The solution is stable. There aren't bugs. It's not glitchy. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's reliable. 

The product can scale. It's not an issue. 

Not everyone is using it in our company right now. 

The setup has been pretty simple and straightforward. We haven't had any issues. It's not overly difficult. 

We are using the Enterprise Edition. We pay a yearly subscription fee on a per-user basis. It's reasonably priced. 

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

It's all cloud-based. Therefore, we are always using the current version. It's a product that automatically updates itself. 

Before using Microsoft Office 365, some sort of familiarity is required. Most people are aware of Word or Excel or PowerPoint, however, if they're using Teams, they should have some sort of in-field training.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It has all t business tools that most companies require to run a business effectively. It is useful.

I mostly use Office 365 for email. I have a license for five desktops, and my family is using all the five, including myself

I like Office 365's usability. 

As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request.

We've been using Office 365 since it was launched. Our company is a Microsoft partner. so we use Office 365 all the time. I also use 365 at home.

Office 365 is highly reliable. That's one reason I'm still using it. 

In the company, I was providing support for Microsoft solutions, so I never needed to contact support.

I'm still using Linux and Linux features. I primarily use Firefox and Thunderbird at home. 

Setting up Office 365 is straightforward. I use it on Mac and Windows, and it only takes a few minutes in both cases.

Office 365 costs 100 euros per year. That's perfectly okay for the features it has.

I rate Office 365 nine out of 10. In the old days, we always compared open-source solutions to Microsoft, and Microsoft usually had the better offering. I'm not sure that's always the case for personal use.

We are using Office 365 mainly for emails, document storage, SharePoint, and the Power Apps to build our own in-house applications.

The most innovative feature of Office 365 is the Power Apps, which allows us to automate literally everything that we want automated. For example, sending attachments to specific folders on SharePoint, adding people's SharePoint when certain apps are performed, or emailing certain people at certain instances, such as when you've done a follow-up with the CRM and you need a marketing email to be sent out at a particular point. 

I have been using Office 365 for approximately two years.

Office 365 is stable.

We have found Office 365 to be scalable.

We have approximately 25 people using this solution in my organization. All of our departments are using it.

The organization is growing rapidly, as we onboard more users, we'll be using Office 365 a bit more. We typically recommend Office 365 to our clients. The feedback that we have received from our clients is it's a solution they're willing to stay with.

Support Office 365 is at a high level. Any time I have an issue, support is always there. Whether it's by email or call back, the response is very prompt. I usually receive my issues resolved within less than eight hours.

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

The setup of Office 365 was straightforward because I'm the one who did the initial setup as my background is in web dev. Additionally, starting the configuration was pretty easy for me.

A hybrid deployment of Office 365 took approximately two days to have all their emails migrated and everyone up and running.

We did the implementation in-house.

We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions.

We have evaluated other solutions and we settled on Office 365 because of the stability and flexibility.

Office 365 itself is very organization-friendly,  if you're an organization that is looking for a solution that will sort out all your office problems, then definitely it's a solution that you'd be looking for.

I rate Office 365 an eight out of ten.

• Rapid deployment of Office functionality to users.
• Ability to enforce global policies.
• Security.

Monthly subscription per user provides flexibility and a significant number of capable apps to leverage corporate data.

We have found Office 365's many features and apps to be extremely useful, beyond the usual Word and Excel, which most people are used to using. We've made extensive use of SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and so forth, and are exploring the other capabilities of Office 365.

Many of the compliance facilities, whilst available, require a bit of 'digging' around the back end of the admin/security facilities. It would be nice to have industry/regional templates which could be adopted and customized to help get compliance settings made more easily, especially for user organizations that face a lot of compliance issues.

About two years now.

No, deployment was very simple.

No, so far Office 365 has been extremely reliable and stable.

So far no issues encountered, we have scanned a lot of documents without any issues.

We worked with a Microsoft Partner and found the service to be excellent.

Very high.

We were using Office 2007 before the upgrade, with various licensing scattered across the business. Office 365 gave us a consistent platform that could be easily rolled out. Also, the ongoing updates to Office 365 help reduce the workload on keeping apps up-to-date, especially if the IT team is small.

Initial setup was very straightforward.

We worked through a Microsoft Partner who helped us get Office 365 deployed across our organization.

So far, substantial savings of approximately 30 to 40 percent vs the old licensing model. Also, as staff numbers fluctuate, it is possible to keep the number of subscriptions in alignment with headcount. Monthly subscriptions for each user make the solution extremely flexible.

If you are a small business and/or have in-house technical capability, getting up and running with Office 365 is fairly simple. I suggest working with a good Microsoft Partner if the organization is large or disparate/distributed.

We spent a bit of time evaluating OpenOffice, LibreOffice, but Office 365 suited our particular needs very well. However, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are themselves good products and should be reviewed/considered for productivity applications. One of the main strengths of Office 365 is it runs on the Azure platform and has Microsoft behind it, which gives me a lot of confidence.

We've been very happy with Office 365 so far. We're looking to see how else we can leverage the investment in Delve, Yammer, Forms, and other capabilities across the business.
