Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

The solution is usefull for productivity, document editing and sharing, presentation of PowerPoints, spreadsheets, SharePoint threads and emails.

My favorite feature is the collaboration.

Windows should be included with the solution since Microsoft is heading towards an SaaS-, cloud-based model. It should include Microsoft Windows operating system. If I am going to buy Office suite, I should also get the operating system for this purpose rather than having to worry about purchasing a Windows license and a separate one for Office 365. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for about five years now.

The solution is definitely stable. I like the fact that one can use Office on the browser.

I believe the solution to be scalable, as it is cloud-based.

I never had to open a case with technical support. 

I did not use other solutions prior to Microsoft 365 Business. 

The solution is pretty easy to install, although this depends, as there are a lot of products. If one is talking about the entire Office suite, it could take about 40 minutes, although this  varies with a person's laptop.

Installation can be done by oneself. Anyone can install Office. 

The price in general could be cheaper. Being overpriced is what is to be expected from Microsoft.

I believe the subscription to be monthly. 

While the software can be installed on-premises, the solution is cloud based. 

The whole company makes use of the solution. It's on a global level, as the company is international. I would approximate there are 200 users using it in our company.

The product is known. As such, while I would not recommend it per se, I would do so for those who have familiarity with the Microsoft Office ecosystem. It's what they know. 

Microsoft 365 Bus is great when it comes to productivity and I rate it as a nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for access to Outlook and One Drive.

The most valuable aspect is that it is one the cloud and we can access it from there, which allows us access from anywhere. 

The solution has been quite stable.

The solution has been very easy to use overall.

We haven't really had any issues with the solution.

Occasionally, it does go down, however, for the most part, it's fine.

The process should be a bit more seamless.

In general, I've been using the solution for ten years or so.

The stability is fine, although we have lost connectivity in the past. We just have to restart it and find that it is pretty easy to restart everything.

I haven't dealt with technical support in the past. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

However, if I run into any issues, I will often go to Google or the Microsoft website. I find it's pretty easy to find answers to the questions I have online, and therefore do not really need technical support.

We do need to pay a licensing fee, however, I'm unsure as to what the exact cost is or if the fees are paid monthly or annually.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. If the process was a bit more seamless, I'd give it a perfect score. However, for the most part, I'm happy with the capabilities.

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 Microsoft 365 Business for email and Teams, which has an internal chatbox for employees.

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

It would be helpful if the calendar was improved. It could be better, more user-friendly, and better integrated.

If you are deleting your data and relying on backup, the backups do not exist, they are not there. The backup option should be included in Microsoft 365 Business.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for six months.

Microsoft 365 Business is a stable product.

Microsoft 365 Business is a scalable product.

We have approximately 300 people in our organization who use this solution.

We also use Google.

The installation was good, it was straightforward. We did not have any issues with the installation. It only took 10 to 15 minutes.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use the help of an integrator or reseller.

It's a business account, the organization pays for the licensing fees.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight 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.

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.

We are primarily using the solution for our desktop office apps and Outlook and these kinds of things.

The performance of the solution is very good. It's quite stable. We haven't had any issues with the product so far.

The flexibility of the solution has been great. 

The solution can scale.

Technical support is okay.

Technical support could be a bit better. It's an aspect Microsoft could improve upon.

The integration with the other apps could be improved. I know it's dependent on what the company might decide and maybe not from a system side, however, if they can add more apps or more integration that would be helpful.

I've used the solution for one to two years at this point. It hasn't been that long. 

The solution is quite stable. The performance is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

It is my understanding that the solution is scalable, however, I am not on the technical side, and therefore, it's not an aspect of the solution I directly deal with.

The entire company uses the solution. It's likely around 1,000 people in total. 

Technical support is okay, however, it could always be slightly improved upon.

I wasn't a part of the initial setup and therefore cannot speak to the exact process. I am not aware of if it is difficult or straightforward based on personal experience. I also cannot say how long it takes to deploy.

I'm not sure how many team members we have for maintenance or if it is a necessary aspect to be concerned with. Our IT team is managing it, and there are about 50 team members in total in the department.

You do need to pay for a license, however, that is handled by another department. I can't say how much we pay at the company in order to use the solution.

My understanding is that there isn't a big difference between a monthly and yearly licensing fee.

I cannot speak to if we looked at other options before choosing this solution. I did not handle that aspect directly. I'm not sure if we did any comparison at all.

As we are using the solution on the cloud, we are using the latest version of the solution. It is always automatically updating for us. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly quite satisfied with the solution in general. 

I would recommend the solution to other users.
