A great collaboration service for small organizations

The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Price and reliability need improvement while general tasks are streamlined

The pricing for Microsoft 365 is too high, and quality-wise, it does not meet high standards. The operating system is outdated and inadequate. Microsoft has very poor security, and Defender is ineffective. In terms of collaboration and file sharing, OneDrive is very clunky and has frequent sync issues. It also crashes a lot and is unreliable.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"I don't have any issues with Microsoft 365 Business, it's a good tool."

"The feature I find most valuable is Business 365's real-time edit and updates. You can share files, and it will automatically create the link for you."

"I appreciate the mobility of this solution."

"The product is very flexible."

"I am highly satisfied with the security features and user-friendly interface."

"Feature-wise, everything is okay. We are getting the latest version of the application. You also don't need to manage anything. Everything is running at the backend. The best part is that even if there is a failure in the on-prem active directory, users can still access mails. You can configure MFA easily and protect the mailboxes. Integrity and confidentiality are there. In this aspect, I am very happy with Microsoft."

"I use the solution for my daily work."

"I like everything. For me, this is a perfect product. It is rich in terms of features, and new functionalities are available very often. It is super straightforward to install, and their technical support is the best that I've ever seen."

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"Areas that need improvement are pricing, stability, and scalability."

"They should have a consolidated app, rather than have different applications with a different app."

"The Microsoft 365 Business suite could improve by adding additional template-type tools. For example, if you specifically are creating a fillable form, there are times where I did not find the right type of template that I was looking for."

"The online and desktop versions should have the same user experience."

"However, people might think it's unstable if it hasn't been set up correctly. If the IT team hasn't configured it right, then you'll have a hard time using the product itself."

"It should have better pricing. It is a monopoly product for Microsoft, and I don't think they will change the pricing. They do not offer any discount."

"365 Business' workflow should be better integrated into our current ERP systems. We are running two different ERP systems that are integrated, so it would make sense in the future to have those systems integrated into a content management workflow system."

"The pricing and licensing format could be improved."

"They are always a bit pricey. They should reduce their prices or make it free because we already have other solutions, like Google Suite, which are cheaper or free."

"It could be cheaper. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
