Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

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.

We've been using Microsoft to communicate with clients via email.

The solution has all the necessary features and automation tools required.

While using the screen sharing feature in Microsoft Teams, the screen sometimes gets stuck when we move into the remote desktop. They should work on that particular area.

We have been using the solution for nine years.

It is a stable solution. But sometimes, the solution drops for a minute. Apart from that, I have not seen any stability issues so far. I rate the solution's stability as a ten.

It is a scalable solution. More than a thousand employees in our organization use the solution. I rate its scalability as a ten.

The solution is already installed in the system. We just have to put in the credentials and log in.

You need to purchase the license.

I recommend the solution as it is the best in the market compared to other vendors like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. It is an apt solution for corporations because they get Microsoft Teams, wherein they can connect with their peers for any issues. I rate the solution as a ten.

This solution is used for a variety of purposes, including Outlook, SharePoint, PowerApps, and Power BI.

From the perspective of a developer, the interface could be more user-friendly. It is quite difficult to use.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business since the first project that we worked on. It has been for quite some time, at least a couple of years.

We are using the latest version.

Microsoft 365 Business is a fairly stable product.

We have more than 1,000 users in our organization.

I personally have not contacted technical support.

We are currently experimenting with Power BI.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. There were no difficulties with the installation.

Because it is a cloud-based solution, there is no installation required. You simply follow the steps online.

It's getting to be expensive.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business a six out of ten.

I use Microsoft 365 Business for many of the packaged solutions, such as Outlook and SharePoint.

The solution could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for a few years.

Microsoft 365 Business is stable.

The solution is scalable enough for what I use it for.

We have thousands of users using this solution in my organization.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

We're an organization with about 30 employees and we use Microsoft 365 for some who are working remotely to provide them with Microsoft Word, Outlook, SharePoint, etc.

The most valuable thing about Microsoft 365 is its ease of use. It's very user-friendly.

We've been using Microsoft 365 for about a year and a half.

We have not had any problems with stability. It depends on the features you use. The Microsoft 365 products like Microsoft Word or Outlook have a lot of features, but users really only use about 10% or 20% of the features at any given time.

We haven't used 365 at the kind of volume to really find out whether it's scalable or not.

Microsoft 365 could be less expensive.

I would rate Microsoft 365 eight out of 10 and recommend it to other businesses if they're willing to pay the cost.

My use case is internally, as a seller communicating with my fellow colleagues. We use the OneNote package for Windows 10 to share internal knowledge. That gets used every day, all day. We use Microsoft Dynamics as our CRM, and we have done something really wonderful and are able to have them all talk to each other. We put in an account code in one area and it is documented in many different areas.

There are a couple features that I have found most valuable. Recording is a major feature for us, at least internally. It took a lot of conversations and I can't type that fast. We are able to capture and then go back and repeat. Dictation is huge. I use that on client calls when the client is speaking, I can give you a play-by-play of that conversation, with their permission, of course. Then the obvious features, Outlook and email are just spot on. I never have any glitches there. It's sent and received within the timeline of five seconds and life is good.

In terms of what could be improved, it has always been my question why can't we just have one solution? Everything is an add on. You've got Microsoft Office or Microsoft Business, and I think Outlook should be the primary. I think Outlook should tie into a backend database and everything should be done in the Outlook screen. When I take notes, go to the conversation with the client or my client folder, and I've got a notepad in there as I'm documenting notes, anybody in the company should see it. I should not have to then cut and paste my notes and put them into CRM or Dynamics, things of that nature. As an operation tool, there should be just one central place. I don't care where it goes from there, but my boss can then go right to Outlook and click on my customer folder and see exactly what's been happening.

Microsoft 365 Business has been very steady. One of my pet peeves would probably be that as you get over 15 megs in communication between your clients, it does tend to bottleneck a little bit.

I wouldn't be able to talk to scalability because I work on it as a single user, but I would say that if you and I are communicating back and forth via email and by day five, we've already got five megs of communication going on between us because you've got signatures with pictures and I've got signatures with pictures and it's chewing up tremendous amounts of space. Then it kills the bandwidth. My thought would be, why can't Microsoft Office be as smart as saying, this logo has been represented seven times already in this communication chain, let's just keep the most recent. That would be great. Then as you're sending around version control for documents and you have version two on Monday and you're up to version eight by Thursday, all those versions are still stuck in the email. Why can't Microsoft be smart enough to say, would you like to keep all the previous versions, yes or no? It could eliminate that bottleneck and be a little bit more productive.

I have to give support a grade 100. When you call Microsoft, you actually get a Zones employee that says, "Hello, you've reached Microsoft's concierge desk." They outsource that to us. I have to say 100 perfect, they were great.

The initial setup is a one button set up.

I just came from IBM before I rejoined Zones. They are still on Lotus notes there. I would say Microsoft is always on the cutting edge and I feel every time when I come back to Microsoft, Outlook and all the other tool sets engaged in there, that it has always been a better experience. Absolutely.

On a scale of one to ten, I would probably give Microsoft 365 Business an 8, just because of those things that we spoke about. I spend a lot of hours a week cutting and pasting, when I think it should all be connected somehow.

I use a variety of different applications within the solution. For example, I use Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint.

The solution is really very easy to use. You don't need any real training to know how to use it. It's intuitive and what you don't know, you can search everything yourself.

If you have a little bit of experience in older versions, you can easily catch up. The user interface is great.

The initial setup is easy to implement and deploy.

The pricing seems to be reasonable. 

There are a lot of modules, for example, between Teams and SharePoint, that could be more transparent. Many users aren't too sure of the difference between many Microsoft tools or how to use them together. 

While the many tools on offer come as one package, the manager who deployed everything doesn't really know the differences or how to use each individual app correctly. This requires an internet search for demos that can lay out how best to use, for example, Sharepoint, or Teams. 

There needs to be more documentation to make the usage clear. We need more transparency on things like in which conditions we can use Teams and how we can connect that app with Sharepoint, and things like that.

It's difficult, sometimes, when we deal with other teams or organizations that aren't using Microsoft Teams. When they don't have the same systems, it makes it difficult to communicate with everyone.

I started using the solution six years ago. I've used it for a while. That said, my most recent company, deployed the solution two years ago.

We have about 9,000 users on the solution currently.

I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive Microsoft technical support is. I don't deal with them directly. We have support within our company that is dedicated to problem-solving. When we have any problems, we have communication lines within our company. I don't know how they communicate with Microsoft when they need to.

We didn't previously use a different solution. We've always used Microsoft.

The solution is pretty easy to install. We have an operations team that can handle it. My understanding is that the actual implementation and deployment did not take very long at all.

We were able to handle it via our own internal teams. We didn't need an integrator or consultant. 

I can't speak to the exact cost of the solution, however, the pricing seems to be fine.

We're customers and end-users.

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

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities. 

We are using it for all products inside this package, such as online SharePoint, Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Word. 

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.

It could be cheaper, but I don't know if this is possible.

I have been using this solution for four years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have around 70 users. In one company, we have around 20 users, and in another company, we have around 50 users. We will keep using this solution.

Their technical support is very good. It is the best I've ever seen. I have not received such a level of support for any product that I have used in the past. Their response time is less than half an hour after the first call. Sometimes, I have received a call back in 10 minutes. Their knowledge and support are at a high-level.

Its installation is super straightforward. The deployment duration depends on the number of users.

I installed it myself.

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

We didn't evaluate other solutions.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others. I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.
