Office 365 Reviews

We use this solution alongside Sharepoint and Teams.

It's primarily used for collaborative work. We use Teams, for example, to stay connected. Word we are using as a word processor. Then for exchanging emails we are using Microsoft Outlook. There are also certain basic analytics that we are using this Excel. We're taking advantage of the whole suite of tools.

It's a good solution in general. It's very feature-rich.

The product is a very good collaborative tool. 

We are using the entire Microsoft product, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Apart from, them, we are also using Teams. There's a lot there in terms of apps and features. 

The Channels and Microsoft Teams are the most valuable aspects of the product.

The initial setup is simple.

It is a very stable product.

You can scale the solution if you want to.

The cost of the product is not overly expensive. 

We find that there is an abundance of features. Nothing is missing for us right now. 

We have found that, with Teams, if you are including one more person who is not in the company ecosystem, supposedly I'm inviting them as a guest in the chat. However, when I do that, I can't share files.

I've been using the product for the last two years. It hasn't been too long just yet. 

The solution is stable. There aren't bugs. It's not glitchy. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's reliable. 

The product can scale. It's not an issue. 

Not everyone is using it in our company right now. 

The setup has been pretty simple and straightforward. We haven't had any issues. It's not overly difficult. 

We are using the Enterprise Edition. We pay a yearly subscription fee on a per-user basis. It's reasonably priced. 

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

It's all cloud-based. Therefore, we are always using the current version. It's a product that automatically updates itself. 

Before using Microsoft Office 365, some sort of familiarity is required. Most people are aware of Word or Excel or PowerPoint, however, if they're using Teams, they should have some sort of in-field training.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It has all t business tools that most companies require to run a business effectively. It is useful.

I use it for everything that has to do with data input and of course Excel, Office and the like. It is pretty much the cornerstone software for what I do.

I'm not really sure whether this is possible, but maybe some sort of PDF editing. I also think that it could be more user-friendly for not-so-experienced people.

I have been using Office 365 for the last couple of years.

I had a couple of crises, but I believe it was due to hardware, so I will not comment on the stability.

The scalability is pretty good. But the enemy of something good, is something even better. There is always room for improvement.

I was previously using Google Docs. I changed to Office 365 because it's more stable and I'm more familiar with it.

The last time I set it up, it was pretty straightforward. This time, to be honest, I had an external company set it up.

I used an external company for the installation.

It has more features than somebody would expect, and it is worth taking a deeper look into the features available.

I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten. It does what it says that it does. However, as I said, it could be more user-friendly for inexperienced people, and of course, things can always get better.

I mostly use Office 365 for email. I have a license for five desktops, and my family is using all the five, including myself

I like Office 365's usability. 

As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request.

We've been using Office 365 since it was launched. Our company is a Microsoft partner. so we use Office 365 all the time. I also use 365 at home.

Office 365 is highly reliable. That's one reason I'm still using it. 

In the company, I was providing support for Microsoft solutions, so I never needed to contact support.

I'm still using Linux and Linux features. I primarily use Firefox and Thunderbird at home. 

Setting up Office 365 is straightforward. I use it on Mac and Windows, and it only takes a few minutes in both cases.

Office 365 costs 100 euros per year. That's perfectly okay for the features it has.

I rate Office 365 nine out of 10. In the old days, we always compared open-source solutions to Microsoft, and Microsoft usually had the better offering. I'm not sure that's always the case for personal use.

I am using the new version, which they launched at the beginning of this year in Portugal. Business Central is the new version of the ERP for Microsoft.

The solution can be deployed on a public cloud and on-premises.

My company implements the solution, but the clients I do projects for usually have 50-60 users.

The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good.

I'm working with logistics a lot, and I'm seeing that the Business Center is not so good because I've been working in IT since 1984, so I have some experience in logistic systems. Three years ago, I had a project with a big client here in Portugal and I started using Microsoft Navision, which is the old version of Microsoft ERP. Now we are changing to Business Center, but it's not very good.

I think Office 365 is a good ERP for services but not so good for businesses, for industries, or for logistic systems. Those areas could be improved.

I'm not happy with how Microsoft Office 365 works. Normally, they have a way to work with specific developments, and I think they shouldn't allow the partners to make some changes they have made. When I have a client with a lot of changes, we have a problem with that because there aren't rules to develop inside the ERP, so you can do anything. I think that's not a good point.

I think SAP is very well prepared for that compared to Microsoft because it has the rules that departments have to follow. So, there should be more rules regarding restrictions for partners.

Procurement could also be improved.

I have been using this solution for about three years.

The scalability depends on the service area. For example, the scalability is good for the public sector, banks, and companies that are doing projects. For businesses like that, it's very useful. But for industrial and logic sectors, it's not scalable. 

There are some simple ERPs that are much better than Microsoft Navision and Business Center. For scalability, SAP is much more powerful than Microsoft.

I would rate technical support 4 out of 5.

I worked with SAP for three years. For maybe 15 years, I worked with another Portuguese ERP.

I switched to Microsoft because I started working for a multinational company. The problem is that for software that is made locally in Portugal, if you start a project with a company, you are stuck with that company. You can't change solutions, so you have a big investment in that kind of process. 

I think it's better to work with international products, because if you don't like that partner, you can switch to another partner. I think that is the best reason for one company to choose software that is implemented with lots of tech companies, because you can change and use another company.

Initial setup is very easy.

Some clients are starting to choose to pay monthly, and I think it's easier for them to understand the impact of the cost to the company.

I would rate the solution 3 out of 5 for the price. I think Microsoft presents a good solution concerning the price.

I would rate this solution 5 out of 10. 

For someone who wants to implement this solution, my advice is to ask your company to study the business and the needs of the project really well before choosing it. 

When a company wants to buy a solution, they usually don't understand what they want. They know they have some reasons to change or buy a new solution, but normally they are not very well prepared for a change. I think companies should make a study and then choose the best solution for their company's needs.

I mostly use Office 365 for project management and reporting. I utilize tools like Excel, Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Suites, and others primarily for collaboration, documentation, and compliance reporting.

Office 365 is particularly valuable for collaboration, reporting, and documentation related to compliance. The tools are utilized for project management as well, with Excel, Jira, Confluence, and the Microsoft Suite playing significant roles.

When buying an external product, I believe the security is lower. Therefore, there is room for improvement or development internally for better security.

I have been using Office 365 for more than ten years.

From time to time, I face minor issues, but nothing really major has occurred.

I mostly rely on the community for support and have not had any direct contact with Microsoft's technical support.

Neutral

I was not involved in the deployment of the tools.

I do not have a clear understanding of the cost, as I use the tools provided by the customer. I know they are quite expensive.

I rate Office 365 six out of ten. It does the job without much excitement and fits the needs of people due to a lack of alternatives. However, it is known to be quite expensive.

In my workplace, we were mostly using Excel and Word to organize files, to be able to do tables, and handle general work. Mostly, these tools are the ones that we're using, however, it has a whole suite.

It's easy for you to create tables, organize your data, write some text, et cetera. If you want to apply for a job, you need to do, for example, your CV or cover letter, and you need Word to write in. The various applications and software available are excellent.

The implementation is easy.

It is stable.

The product can scale.

They are a little bit behind Microsoft Word in regards to the ability it has. It has many things you can add, and they keep adding tables, diagrams, and everything in other places. However, Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has.

I’ve been using the solution for four years now.

The solution is stable and reliable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches.

It is a scalable product. You can expand it as needed.

We have more than 200 people on the solution currently.

I’ve never directly dealt with technical support. I’m not sure how helpful or responsive they are.

I did not use a different solution previously. It was my first choice, and I went with it.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It’s not complex. It’s not difficult.

I didn't handle the setup myself; someone else handled the implementation. I’m not sure exactly who was involved.

I’m not sure of the exact cost. In the past, it might have been free. However, now, people do need to pay in order to use it.

I would put the pricing around two out of five. It's not the cheapest price per se. However, due to what it offers, it's actually worth the money.

I am a customer and end-user.

I’m not sure which version of the solution we’re using. I use both cloud and on-premises deployments.

If you do not think about the money you have to pay to activate it, the tool offers good value and many applications, making it worth it.

I’d rate the solution nine out of ten. There’s still room for improvement. However, it’s pretty good.

Within this solution, I've been using Excel most of the time, as well as Microsoft Word. Excel is the main reason to use this product, however. 

The formulas are great. You can play with Excel and you can put the formulas in and kill some time. It is very, very useful for the user.

The solution is quite stable.

It's inexpensive to license. 

The user interface is great. 

The solution gives users a lot of different options. 

I don't see any areas of improvement right now in terms of features. That said, I'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product.

I've been using the solution over the last six months, and I have been using it quite regularly.

The solution is very stable. This is true, especially in Excel. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's a very reliable product. 

The scalability is great. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

I would estimate that 80% of the people in our company are using Excel. That's over 60 people, for sure.

I've never directly dealt with technical support in the past. 

I didn't handle the initial setup. I can't speak about if it is simple or complex to execute.

Someone from within our organization handled the initial setup. 

We do pay a monthly licensing fee, however, I cannot speak to what the exact costs are for the company. 

It's not overly expensive. It's my understanding that it is a pretty inexpensive product. 

I'd rate the cost a two out of ten in terms of how expensive it is. 

I'm a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution I am using. 

I'd advise those who want to use the solution, especially Excel, that they should do some studying first. It will make everything easier once you start using it.

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's great. It's a really excellent solution. 

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is mostly used for AI, SharePoint online, and importing information.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has been used here in Brazil for a long time, so the familiarity is there. It's being used by both individual and enterprise users, and it has a good interface. It's very adaptable and it's easy to market in Brazil. We've installed this solution for a lot of enterprise clients. It's a solution that's easy to use.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could use some customization, but it's trivial.

There are some solutions that are easier to scale compared to Microsoft Defender for Office 365, but in general, its scalability is okay.

The initial setup for this solution is very easy.

I've been selling all kinds of solutions, including Office 365, Power BI, and Microsoft Defender for Office 365. I'm based in Brazil and I've been working with Microsoft partners. We have a whole list of customers who use Microsoft solutions. We usually deal with the newest versions and models of Microsoft products.

I don't know exactly what could be improved in this solution. There could be a small room for improvement, but I don't know what it is, or if Microsoft Defender for Office 365 really needs improvement, because it is a very solid solution.

For deployment and maintenance of this solution, we have five people who are in charge.

I don't have direct interaction with technical support, so I can't say from my experience if it's good or not, but what I observed it they give very good support.

My advice for people planning to use Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is that it's a very good solution, and they won't have problems using it.

I'm rating Microsoft Defender for Office 365 a nine out of ten.
