Partner IT Transformation Consulting, Principal Analyst, Cabot Partners at a outsourcing company with 1-10 employees
Consistent design with good cloud services but it can be difficult to get support when needed
Pros and Cons
- "I like that it is easy to transfer to different devices, such as a different laptop. Everything is cloud-based, which I appreciate."
- "Most Microsoft applications are not the most user-friendly."
What is our primary use case?
I primarily use the solution for the Microsoft Office Suite and Outlook.
What is most valuable?
I used to use 365 when I was at IBM, and, at later stages in my career, at other companies. I used to have my own license at home. Now, I have my own consulting firm. Recently, I got a laptop. I felt that transferring all the information from one laptop to the other was a painful experience. I got 365, as it is in the cloud, and due to that, I can just download my user information and I'm ready to go.
The solution is stable.

While I like the fact that Microsoft is constantly updating its services, I also like the fact that Excel is pretty much the same since I started using it on Day One.
What needs improvement?
Coming from larger companies, if you had 365 questions for Microsoft, it was hard to get a hold of them. The one way I could get answers was by talking to a friend, or one who has used 365 as well. Microsoft has no time for the little guy. I can Google to look for answers, however, you run the risk of getting answers that are baseless. It would be easier to use if you could get better help if you need it.
Most Microsoft applications are not the most user-friendly.
For how long have I used the solution?

How are customer service and support?
As an individual user, getting a hold of technical support can be difficult. Once, I actually found a number and I waited for an hour and a half. The guy who helped me, I can't thank him enough. He went beyond. I was extremely happy about the assistance. That said, typically, it's hard to get help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've used G Suite before as well. However, I'm a Microsoft guy. I'm 65, so I've used Microsoft all my life. G Suite is extremely good, however, as I see it, I'm not comfortable with it. I see the younger people getting faster with it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of the solution is approximately $120 a year.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user of the solution. We mostly work with IBM, which is a bigger part of our offering.
While there's a way to use it on an enterprise level, I can only speak to individual usage. I personally like the fact that it's on the cloud and it's easy to access my documents from anywhere.
I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. For the most part, the solution has been great.
