Our primary use is for document management.
We use Sharepoint for managing documents, Teams for collaboration, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook for email management. We also use the document creator for creating internal surveys.

Using Office 365 has allowed us to go digital and onboard people seamlessly for working at home during the COVID pandemic.
The most valuable feature is that we can access our documents from anywhere. If we aren't using our official laptops, we can still go online to work. I think it helps a lot.
Integration with other platforms can be improved. As it is now, it works really well with Azure and other products from Microsoft. However, if you want to integrate something outside of this, especially with Excel, it gives us challenges. There are a lot of use cases in Excel where we want to integrate with other services.
I have been using Office 365 for the past couple of years.
I think that Office 365 is pretty stable. We are using it pretty extensively and I have not encountered any major issues.
I'm pretty sure that this platform is very scalable because now, almost everybody is working from home and using it. We have between 1,500 and 1,600 users who are scattered across geography. Approximately 1,300 are in India and the remainder is spread across the US.
I do not deal with technical support personally, although because we haven't had any major issues, I think that our interaction with them has been smooth.
Prior to using Office 365, we were using the on-premises version.
I would not say that the initial setup is complex. Rather, it is of medium difficulty, somewhere between straightforward and complex.
Once we decided to use Office 365, we were able to onboard people seamlessly. We were able to quickly start working with Team, Skype, and other products.
Our internal IT team took charge of the implementation and deployment. They were able to complete it without assistance. The deployment is now fairly automatic for new people and there is very little time spent on maintenance.
In summary, the features are really good, it has made our lives easy, and I highly recommend it.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
I use Office 365 for a variety of things including sending emails to customers and colleagues, creating PowerPoint presentations, using Excel, and using Access.
The most valuable feature is the integration, where all of the modules are talking to each other.
I like that it is cloud-based, wherefrom any computer I can access my documents and continue working. Even if my computer is down or something has happened to it, I can use another computer for work.
I would like to see the macro functionality in Excel made simpler.
Excel should be made more intelligent in terms of being able to figure out data types. For example, it should understand that if I have 16,000 records, it should know the datatype of each of the columns. There might be numbers, dates, and other types of data, and it should be able to recognize these based on context. If this were the case then it would make things easier for me.
I would like to see Azure artificial intelligence available in Office 365 so that it is available to everyone.
I have been using Office 365 for the past three years.
The stability is great. I have never faced any such issues. If I load too much into PowerPoint then it will slow down a little bit, but nothing like the old desktop version. When I was using the desktop version of Office, it would hang. The cloud version is far more stable.
Office 365 is scalable, although collaboration has to happen through SharePoint. I would say that it can scale to large, global enterprises very easily.
I have never spoken to technical support for Microsoft Office. I have never had a problem that needed it.
The initial setup is easy because it's online. You pay for it and you get it, and that's it.
I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly. There are yearly packages available.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
My use case is mainly the email solution of Office 365. I use the exchange online for my emails, corporate emails. I use OneDrive for saving my data on the internet, and the other good features are Excel, Word and PowerPoint online, which allows me to create online documents. I also sometimes use Microsoft Teams within Office 365. We generally use Teams for our video conference meetings and presentation meetings. We also sometimes use SharePoint to share documents with people outside our organization. I am a cloud security lead and we are users of Office 365.
What I like most about Office 365 is its reliability and that I haven't experienced any outages, it's always worked fine for me. It also has a unique 'giving' feature in that if I go for Office 365 licensing for a particular license level, Microsoft also offers me other services along with Office 365.
The product could be improved if there was integration with other single sign-on solutions that are available on the market. I'd also like to see integration with other privileged identity or access management solutions. If there are only particular solutions that we have to go with and other market leaders have other solutions that we'd like, then that becomes costly. If they came up with more access or solution integrations that were less expensive, then that would be helpful.
Microsoft should come up with some documentation or presentation related to specific use cases. There are times when companies or organizations migrate to Office 365, but they are not aware of each and every feature that's available and that they could be using. I think they should have special feature-based training sessions, where information can be shared with users. It can be subdivided into departments whether it's accounting, HR, technical.
I've been using this solution for more than five years.
I think this is a very stable solution.
This is a scalable solution. You just need to invest in the new added user licenses and get those onboard. It is on your tenant ID, which is already created. So I guess scalability is quite easy in Office 365. You can go in for new licenses every year and easily scale up. My organization currently has between 400-500 users of this product. We have a team of two or three who deal with it. We plan to increase usage and we already give training sessions on usage of this product on a use case basis depending on the department you're working in.
The technical support is quite good from Microsoft.
We were using G-Suite before this but G-Suite doesn't have the features that Office 365 offers. We have access to Teams, video conferencing, SharePoint and all the other features which is why we thought it was a better solution for us.
The initial setup was straightforward. I think deployment took around one and a half months. and the strategy was to get a batch of users first migrated to Office 365 and then continue in batches until everyone was on board. We worked directly with Microsoft for the deployment.
I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.
Office 365 is one of my most used applications. I love the way that I can leverage the Cloud capabilities of my Office applications to access from anywhere. I have access from my phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, etc., and it is always easy. Outlook is nice when I do not have access to a laptop or phone (rare), and One Drive is my file collaboration solution. Although I like the functionality of One Drive, it can be frustrating if your IT team goes overboard on security. :) The single-sign-on we utilize at work keeps me signed in to all apps, and the applications load quickly and efficiently. Office 365 plus the 64-bit 2016 versions of the Office desktop applications is a great combination that I could not function without. I use Outlook, One Drive, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Yammer, and Skype for Business every day, so without them, I would be "dead in the water.
I like how collaborative Office 365 allows me to be on my projects. Currently, a co-author and I are working in real-time on a project. I could see her typing and commentary while I was making corrections to the APA at the bottom of the page. We can also work asynchronously on projects, store them, and return to them. The ability to work in a browser ensures that I can review, make slight edits to the document, print, and then save. As a person who is moving from a campus computer to my computer, to my printer at home, to my office printer at work, this is about as fast as having a flash chip with me at all times, but I never forget it. It also integrates well with Citation software, similar to Word 10. We have a lot of files we share, and I like how easy it is to access from any location I'm at, as long as I'm logged into my university account.
One of the things I struggle with regarding Office 365 is what is the real difference between Office 365 and Google Docs/Sheets other than the price and privacy. At my university, Office 365 is free as long as you are a student or a researcher. As soon as I leave the school though, I'll lose access to Office 365, most of the work I've saved on the system. And while it's... nice? to have so much technology (meaning Access and the other programs that come in the suite) I never use Access but I "have to" have it. I wish it integrated better with my Google Calendar so I could have an app on my phone but if that feature is available I don't have it.
If you are going to be a full-time single user of Office 365, this might make sense if it automatically updates to the latest Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher. It would make sense to pay a yearly/monthly fee to continuously have Word rather than having to buy the expensive office suite every few years or so. But, if you don't need to update to the latest software, if you aren't someone who needs Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher to be at their most flexible, and if you get around on Google just fine, I don't know if it makes sense to buy it as a single user. However, for large universities or companies that need flexibility, and collaboration for their employees, then Office 365 might be right for you.
I work on a lot of collaborative research projects and Office 365 lets me share files and reading and work with others. However, I really don't like their "calendar" system integration with Outlook, but I've never liked the Outlook calendar. I always use my Google calendar and I wish there was a way to sync those two, but as far as I know there isn't.
The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration. Everything is integrated.
Teams could be better. It is not very well integrated with the rest of the solution. It's too heavy.
I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint. It's complicated.
I have been using Office 365 for a couple of weeks.
Office 365 is always current, it's a service.
Office 365 is very stable. I don't have any problems with the stability of this solution.
We don't have any problems with the scalability of Office 365.
We use Office 365 extensively, we use it all of the time.
In our company, we have several dozen users.
I have not contacted technical support.
We are a publishing company. We develop our own solution, which I use on a daily basis.
The initial setup is very easy.
Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them.
I would advise you to carefully plan your migration.
We are both customers and a partner with Office 365.
I like this solution, I have everything that I need. I would rate Office 365 an eight out of ten.
Our primary use is for email.
The most valuable feature is Microsoft Exchange.
The security should be improved.
I have been using Office 365 for about four years.
It is a stable product.
It is scalable and easy to expand to more users. We have 200 people in our company who are using it.
The technical support is very good.
Overall, this is a very good product.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Our primary use case for Office 365 is productivity, such as email.
The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices.
Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow.
Office 365 would be improved if the CRM integration were better.
I have been working with Office 365 for the past five years.
We have not experienced any bugs or glitches.
Scalability has not been a problem.
I have not been in contact with technical support.
The initial setup is straightforward.
In summary, this is a good product and one that I recommend.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
If you have a global solution, you can go from one product to the other very easily. And then you can share data between all the different Office tools which is good because participation and sharing is very good. That's the most important aspect of Office 365.
I have been using Office 365 for four years.
We don't have any problems with scalability. We have around 150 users.
We have an internal IT support team. So we send any problem to IT support and they contact Microsoft if needed.
I'm not the one doing the setup, so I don't know exactly how long it takes and if it was difficult, but I think it went quickly.
I would recommend it because it's rather user friendly and we don't have any particular problems. I would recommend it to a company without a problem.
A need that a company like ours has is that we want to be able to have data flow into one tool, for example, for all the management of tasks through the company and workflow of who is doing what and so on. There are no real solutions for this at the moment in Office 365. It would be nice if they could implement this in the next release, so we can have one solution from one company giving us the whole data and flow of data into the company.
I would rate Office 365 an eight out of ten.
