Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

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. 

We use the solution for emails, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

When it comes to security features, the package is important. The high 11 packages offer security. 

While I don't consider this to be an issue, I believe Microsoft 365 Business to have better internal integration then it does with outside solutions. 

My main pain point concerns the licensing price, which could be lower. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for two or three years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I feel that technical support is pretty good, although we have not had much occasion to make use of it. 

Prior to using the solution, we made use of Microsoft Exchange's on-premises version. We use Office 365, which is basically the cloud-based version of Microsoft Exchange. 

The installation is simple, although I do not know how long it took, as I was not responsible for this. 

We pay a monthly subscription fee for the license. It could be lower. 

The solution is cloud-based.

Microsoft dominates the market. Though there are other solutions available, almost everyone is using it, as it offers ease-of-use. 

Our organization has 300 users who are utilizing the solution. 

While I would recommend the solution to others who are contemplating its implementation, I believe that doing so would be superfluous, as it already dominates the market.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business as a nine out of ten. 

We always use the latest version. 

The solution helps us to manage our business better and to connect with our teams. Nowadays, everybody's working from home and it provides us the ability to stay connected and to continue with our work.

The best feature of the solution is its flexibility. 

I feel that the user interface can be better when it comes to file sharing. At times, it is too clumsy, especially when there is a need to go to the team channel.

The user interface in respect of access and the channels can also be improved. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for one year. 

The solution is very stable. 

I have not had experience with technical support. 

I cannot comment on the installation as we have not handled it. 

The implementation is company-wide and is already very flexible price-wise. 

There is a yearly licensing cost. 

The solution is cloud based. 

It has around 15,000 users.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I rate Microsoft 365 Business as a nine out of ten. 

We are using this solution for many of its features, such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.

Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use and user-friendly. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for approximately one year.

The solution is overall stable. However, while using Teams there can be some performance issues during meetings.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 50 users using this solution in my organization.

We have not needed to use the technical support for Microsoft 365 Business.

The installation is easy. Everything is on the cloud, you download the solution and install it.

We did the implementation ourselves.

There is an annual license required for this solution. For a smaller organization, it could be expensive.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft 365 Business for email, SharePoint, and OneDrive. In the Office suite, we use many of the old applications, such as Excel. We use extensively SharePoint to share files, OneDrive to take backups on regular basis, and email. 

The solution allows for easy collaboration. You are able to use, for example, Excel and go online to the cloud and save your documents offline rather than on a personal hard drive. In my organization, we promote collaboration when possible and this solution does a good job at providing this functionality. The solution is always updated and we receive the latest features. Additionally, they offer many other services we do not use very much but are available, such as Power BI.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

I have found the solution very stable. We have not had any issues in the three years operating any of the products.

The solution is scalable. We are using Office 365 Business in all three operations we are currently involved with.

We use the technical support from Microsoft but it was mostly related to the OneDrive. We had a couple of extensions not supported by OneDrive in the beginning, we reached out to the support and they were very quick to respond and resolve the issues. They have an account manager in the Middle East which provides us with an easy way to receive support.

We have previously used a cloud storage solution called Egnyte.

The full implementation took approximately one day and the length of time it took was due to the need for us to migrate from our on-premise Exchange server to Office 365 Business.

We used consultants for the implementation.

The solution is expensive and the price could be lowered. For example, if I want to purchase a personal Office 365 subscription, they have pricing that does not have the flexibility to choose a wide range of storage sizes, you are limited to a lower amount. If you then switch to the Business version to receive the larger storage offering it is too large and expensive. If they would allow customers to choose the storage size on-demand it would be beneficial and a big improvement.

We did not evaluate other options because we have an Exchange server and thought it would be best to use a Microsoft platform.

I would recommend this solution to others. I do not see any other comparable alternative solution as comprehensive as this one.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

My son uses Microsoft 365 Business in his school where they do not use books, they work fully online. They are using their laptop on a daily basis where they use applications, such as Word in order to edit, submit, and share documents with the other pupils or teachers.

Office 365 is comfortable and easy to use and sometimes important to share doments with others, it is practically an standard de facto and it is a way to be sure your documents are going to be properly read.

I have been using this solution for approximately one year.

The stability is good.

I have found scalability good in this solution.

My company is quite Microsoft oriented for our laptops and commodity software. We have over 100,000 employees and many of them are using this solution but I am not sure the exact number.

I have needed to use the support for this solution.

We have a familiar subscription and you only need to share a link with the operating system you want to install it on. Anyone can download and install Microsoft 365 Business with a couple of clicks and it will be ready to use in a short period of time.

The price of the subscription for the solution could be less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

Our main use of 365 is for collaboration between teams that are not working from the same space and might be spread all over the world. I'm a business owner and customer of Microsoft. 

I like the ease of collaboration and the ability to share documents. These days it's essential that people have the tools to really sync up and work together. It's a perfect fit.

One thing that could be improved is the need to log out and log in again if you need to enter a different work space. It's quite inconvenient and seems to be a problem from the access directory because the different roles can't be separated. I work as a user community liaison and receive many invitations from different workspaces. It's quite frustrating and definitely something that could be improved. 

The solution is stable. 

It doesn't really require installation because it's on the cloud. We have around 40,000 people in our user group and they all use it. 

There is an annual license fee. It could be cheaper but it's a fair price. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

The solution is used heavily at our customer's end. Our businesses involve consulting in a lot of stuff related to accounting and other various business aspects. They are heavy users of Office 365 applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and, of course, Outlook. Outlook is the lifeline of this business. All business communication happens through it.

It is easy to use. 

It's mostly stable. There are no issues.

Support can be reached easily. 

They are constantly adding new features every week or every month or so. They really think about what the customers need and they work to build that into the product.

The scalability has been good. 

We had some hiccups where people would inadvertently send things out to external parties. When they realized, they just blame Outlook for being at fault, however, they do not think of themselves as a problem. They do not try to make changes to the behavior that they follow. That's why we are trying to figure out what other solutions are out there - to see which could probably aid end users. We need something to stop them before they send out an email to an external party. If they're prompted to check before sending, we can prevent data from getting leaked out to external parties. I'm not sure if that's a feature that could possibly be added to Outlook.

If Microsoft could do something about data loss prevention, that would be ideal. There needs to be more than just the capability of flagging an end-user.

Of late, the support has been very patchy at Microsoft's end. It's been like this for about one to two years now. From a support perspective, if you want to rank how good the support is, it's probably around seven at this point in time.

There used to be a lot of articles, however, they've dropped off or have gotten removed and therefore there's less available knowledge online. They need to work on building up their documentation again.

The solution could always be a bit more secure.

If there was a way to make the product more intuitive, that would be helpful for the end-users.

We've been using the solution from the start - when Microsoft started with 365. At that time, it was Office 365. Prior to that, it was called Exchange Online. I've been there from the start. It would probably be six to seven years plus of experience that I have with 365.

It is a stable platform. If any issues come up, Microsoft is able to fix them quite easily. Some issues take time. That depends on the complexity of the product. However, overall, from an enterprise standpoint, we are pretty satisfied with Microsoft.

It is scalable. Microsoft is based on a cloud platform. Therefore, anytime we have new users or a new company that is onboarded into our organization, we are able to do it pretty easily. It doesn't take a lot of effort and Microsoft is there to help us out if there are deployment issues.

We have hundreds of thousands of users on the solution.

There are hundreds of people who are in our engineering department and some of them are outsourced. There are more than, I would say, 500 people who are involved in M365. The exact numbers I don't have.

Support is okay, however, it could be better. Over the last few years, I have noticed it is not as consistent as it once was. That's an aspect they could improve.

The initial setup is something I do not deal with. That said, it's a straightforward install for end-users and we have SCCM and Intune that helps in the installation process. Intune is not being used. It's mostly SCCM that is used to deploy applications. Implementation is something that a different group does. I cannot say how good or how bad the experience is. It's my understanding that it just depends.

A couple of years back, before I joined the company as a contractor, they made the switch to Exchange Online. They had a dedicated subscription. There's a public cloud and a private cloud. They have some sort of a private cloud where they have specific servers allocated to this firm. A couple of years back, around three or four years back, the company decided to move out from that into a completely public cloud. Now, the firm is on an entirely public cloud.

The product's cost is based on a monthly license per user. We pay a certain amount per month, per year and that's about it. That's all I know from licensing perspective. It is monthly that it is billed.

I'm a consultant.

Basically, you sign up for the service, you get your email account, and then you get access to something like SharePoint, Teams, and other Microsoft services. It's a complete solution within the cloud.

The product is pretty perfect. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten.

I would say other enterprises should use the solution. A lot of enterprises are using Microsoft 365 because of its strengths and the way new features are released. A lot of customers like us are interested in trying out new products and new features as they come.
