Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

We use the mail client, and we use PowerPoint 365 and Word 365 to produce documents, offers, and documents for our customers.

It helped a lot, especially with all of us working from the home office and still practically being as though we were at work in the office. That's what helped most.

The ongoing and fast development and integration with teams have been valuable features.

The cost for licensing is reasonable.

Microsoft 365 Business is stable and scalable, and the installation is straightforward as well.

Ongoing better integration would be good. It's still not fully consistent among all the platforms running on Windows and IOS. It's getting better and better, but there's still a lot of consolidation or integration work to be done.

More easily accessible training modules would be good to have. They exist, but you have to search for them. Ongoing user support and ongoing learning and education in the product, without being offensive, and making that access easier would be a big advantage over today's product. It should not be an aggressive offering, but it should be easy to find so that we don't have to dig for it.

I've been using Microsoft 365 Business for about 5 years.

With a few exceptions, that are actually lower than they used to be when Microsoft 365 Business was run on-premises, it is very stable.

We are a company of over 1,000 people, so we don't have any scalability problems. I have been in a mid-sized company or at the lower end of an enterprise with 10,000 people, and we had no scalability issues at all.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The licensing cost is reasonable.

I would rate this solution at eight on a scale from one to ten.

There are still a lot of companies, especially small ones, that still rely on on-premises or on a small partner that delivers old style Windows Office environments hosted somewhere locally. I would really encourage all of them to move to Microsoft 365, maybe coached or managed by a third-party. I would suggest that they think in this new style and help and support the use of Microsoft 365, an IT commodity, and not think the old way that it has to be installed and maintained the old way.

We are using the product primarily for all of our internal documentation and exchanges. The use cases are nothing special. It's quite basic for the most part.

The fact that it's completely on the cloud is one of its most useful aspects. We do not have to manage anything. 

We use the Office and Teams mostly. They are very helpful applications for our office.

The solution is very easy to use. It's completely transparent and extremely easy to navigate.

The stability is quite good. 

We found the installation to be very simple.

The solution offers good security and compliance.

From time to time we have some issues with OneDrive. OneDrive is not perfect. It's nice, however, from time to time we have some problems specifically with reloading the replication. We have to set it up again and again. It's not very stable.

The technical support process could be a bit more secure. The information should stay within the ticketing system itself and not be passed via email.

We've been using the solution for three years or so. We've used it for a while now.

The solution has proven to be quite stable. Its performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze on us. 

We don't really scale the solution. We're a pretty small company. We're only three users, and therefore do not need to scale at all. Therefore, I can't really speak to its capabilities. However, in the future, we are likely to expand usage.

I've only had one experience with technical support. It was not for me. It was for one of the customers. However, the experience was really, really good. 

Once it was finished, they ask for feedback. Technical support was perfect, however, the ticketing system was not that great. Once you've created a ticket, all the next steps are through email. Yet, if there is an email or something which is private, it should not be sent by email. That's why they have to improve the ticketing process. They should send a link to your ticket via email and always keep the information itself within the ticketing system.

The company is quite new. Before I was working at a bigger company which was completely different. However, when we started this new business, we decided to make it as simple as possible for us. That's why we decided to move to the cloud completely.

We also use Zoho for the cloud, for all our accounting, and invoicing, and so on. There is no Microsoft offering for that. It's completely separate. There is no link between them.

The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's pretty straightforward and simple. 

The deployment is quick and only takes a few clicks. Implementation is only a few minutes. From an end-user point of view, it's even faster as it's just a click or two.

We don't need anyone to handle deployment or maintenance.

We handle the implementation ourselves. We have an IT team and we are quite capable of managing the implementation. Therefore we don't need the assistance of any integrators or consultants.

We have a license that we pay on a monthly basis.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Microsoft.

We're just a customer and an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

We are like customers. Even if we do not sell these kinds of services, when customers ask us for advice, we recommend them to move to Microsoft. One of our business lines is in GDPR. For that, we recommend them to move to something which is completely secure. Microsoft Office 365 is one of them. We recommend customers move to Office 365 for that reason. 

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

I primarily use the solution for Teams and other Microsoft applications.

We use it in the office for communication, security, file transfers, cloud access, and the company portal. All of its basic services are leveraged.

The solution is very simple to use.

The product has a pretty nice interface.

There is good support on offer.

The solution provides regular updates.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward.

The stability is great, both on the PC and on mobile.

The scalability of the solution is very good.

We've found that the product works well on Apple products as well. there are no compatibility issues.

The solution could still use better integration with Apple infrastructure. They should offer better support for iOS devices and more regular updates for iOS, as it's working pretty well for Microsoft solutions and for Windows systems, yet it does not work quite as well for iOS. 

I've been using the solution for a few years at this point. It has been quite a while.

We've found the stability to be good. It's stable on both mobile and desktop versions. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is very good. It's great for companies that have 500 or more employees. We have around 1,000 users and it's been great. It can handle a lot of people. In my office alone there are about 150 users.

It is my understanding that we don't have plans to increase usage.

The technical support is very good. they are helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of support on offer. We also have staff on-site that can answer questions if we have any. Our IT team is very knowledgeable. They typically have been able to handle any questions we have and if they can't they can always go directly to Microsoft.

The solution is very easy to install. It's not overly complex or difficult. A user shouldn't have any issues with the process.

That said, I did not personally deploy the product. I just use it. We have five people on staff that handle deployment and maintenance tasks. 

The company provides the solution to me. I can't speak to the licensing or costs.

We do have an enterprise-level licensing agreement with Microsoft.

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

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. A lot of other companies already use it. It's quite popular.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We mainly use this solution for video conferencing on Microsoft Teams. We also use SharePoint quite a bit — for email. 

Within our organization, there are roughly 1,350 employees using this solution. Currently, we have a team of four technical engineers that take care of all maintenance-related issues. 

I appreciate the mobility of this solution. We started using it due to the pandemic. Once COVID-19 hit, we began working from home. 

I suppose it could be more secure; every solution could be more secure.

We just migrated over to Microsoft 365 Business last year. 

This solution is very scalable. 

We are very satisfied with the technical support. 

The installation was very straightforward. All that was required was a one-time installation. It took roughly one month to get everyone up and running.

We installed this solution on our own, although, Microsoft technical support helped. 

The licenses could be cheaper. Right now, we're on a yearly subscription. 

I would absolutely recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give it a rating of nine. 

We are using the solution mainly for Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Additionally, we use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

I think the flexibility of Teams very good.

There should be less power consumption of the PC resources while using this solution. We have professional systems and Teams can run slow at times. We also need to restart Teams in the middle of the meetings sometimes, this could improve in a future release.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution could be more stable.

The solution is easy to scale. We have 15 people using the solution in our company and it is very easy to increase the number of licenses and users.

The installation was very easy. The longest period of the installation was the migration of emails. The rest of the application can be deployed within two days.

We did the implementation ourselves. We have 10 technical engineers that can deploy and do maintenance of the solution.

There is a license for this solution and it is priced based on the users using it.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for its various applications, including Excel and Teams.

We like that it's a cloud-based solution that we can work with like a desktop application.

We really like it as a productivity tool. We get a lot of really great applications such as Excel, OneNote, Teams, and more. These types of tools are quite helpful to our day-to-day.

The best thing about the product is the ecosystem of it. As most of our users are using Windows and it's a product of Microsoft, we find we get amazing performance. 

The integration between the apps is great. It's awesome that it's so interconnected even between users to make sharing easy.

The solution scales well.

There's good security on offer.

We've found the product to be quite stable so far.

I haven't encountered any issues with the solution so far.

The user interface could be a bit better.

I've been using the solution for about three to four months at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The stability has been very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's reliable. The performance on offer is good.

The scalability of the solution is good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease.

Everyone in our organization is using the product. That's around 13,000 users.

We may increase usage in the future.

I haven't faced any issues that required a call to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are, having never dealt with them directly.

I didn't handle the installation personally. It was managed by our IT team. As I didn't participate in the process, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was, or what the deployment process entailed. I'm not sure how long it took.

It's my understanding that a single person can handle the deployment process.

Our company has an IT team that can handle the process in-house. We do not need the assistance of an integrator or a consultant.

There is a license that you need to purchase in order to use the product.

I've taken a look at Google Suite, which is very similar to Office 365. While Microsoft is a paid product, Google does offer some of its services for free, therefore, it might make for a good option for a startup, for example. Microsoft Office is a better product and it integrates more completely with companies that use a lot of Microsoft within their business. Google doesn't integrate.

We are Microsoft customers and end-users.

The solution really does meet all of our requirements, and we've found that it's an improvement on just Outlook.

Overall, the product has been amazing. I would rate it at a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for its email capabilities. We also use it for the Microsoft Office applications.

The solution is very easy to use. You don't have to be overly technical. Any user can easily navigate the product.

The support is good.

The solution offers very good access to Microsoft Office apps.

We've found the solution to be quite scalable. 

The installation and deployment were very easy.

It would be ideal if the product offered more integration capabilities with non-Microsoft solutions.

I've been using the solution for around three years at this point. It's been a while. 

The solution is able to scale well. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease.

We have about 400 people in our company that are currently using this solution.

We do plan to continue to use the solution and to increase usage in the future.

Technical support has been good. they are knowledgeable and responsive. We're happy with the level of service we can get.

The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It was simple. We found it to be straightforward.

The deployment was fast and only took about two or three days. However, I'm not 100% sure about the exact amount of time it ultimately took to complete. 

I was able to handle the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of any integrators or consultants.

We pay a yearly licensing fee to Microsoft. I cannot speak to the exact cost.

I'd rate the product at a ten out of ten. We've been extremely satisfied with its capabilities.

I would recommend the solution to other organizations.

We are primarily using it for our office. 

We are using it for email as well. Our Outlook email is on Office 365.

We also use the other items that come with Office. It's great for task managers, schedulers, and has great document sharing software. We use Sharepoint.

Overall, it is a great product. So far, we are enjoying it.

In Office 365, the collaboration part whereby you can actually type your document on your machine, then upload or save it onto your Office 365, and share it with anyone that you want. You can actually edit it in real-time. That's one of the great strengths of Office 365.

The solution is very stable.

The solution scales well.

The product has good pricing. It's quite inexpensive.

We haven't used the solution for very long just yet. I can't say that I have come across missing features or faults in its design.

The customization after the initial setup can take a while.

The solution could always be cheaper, as we like to pay the least amount possible.

As long as the solution continues to add new features and grow out the offering, we will be very happy.

I've been using the solution for about a month or so now. It hasn't been that long. It's still quite new.

The stability has been good so far. It does not crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches that I have experienced. it's reliable. The performance has been quite good.

The scalability of the product is quite good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease. 

We have roughly 2,500 users on the solution currently.

Even though we have only used the solution for about a month or so, we have been in touch with technical support and we have found Microsoft to be helpful and responsive. We're satisfied with their level of service so far.

I didn't directly participate in the initial setup and therefore can't speak to how easy or difficult the product was to install. Microsoft handled it for the most part. We, however, did the work of customizing it on our end. For us, the customization and configuration took us a few days. It was more than a week. It took some time.

The technical team that deals directly with the product is a team of about ten or so people. 

The installation was mostly handled by Microsoft.

I'm not quite clear on the financials. I'm just too technical, and I don't work directly with billing and payments. But I think from what we have seen so far, it's been quite cheap.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. It's been very capable so far, and we enjoy the real-time file sharing and editing aspects.

I'd recommend this product to other organizations and users.
