More Amazon WorkDocs Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Office 365 is that it has many solutions bundled together.""The cloud service and Skype are the most valuable features.""It has more features than somebody would expect, and it is worth taking a deeper look into the features available.""The technical support is outstanding.""It is very easy to deploy.""Most of the work that seems not to work offline works perfectly with Microsoft Office 2013, like converting a Word document to a PDF file.""The solution is quite intuitive and easy to use.""It's inexpensive to license."

Cons
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow.""Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has.""As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request.""The one big problem with the solution is if you are presenting in Teams and someone puts their hand up, you don't get a notification. If you are running a meeting and just presenting you don't know that people have their hands up and want to ask a question.""Using Visual Basic, I have had a lot of trouble with relative paths when programming for Excel, and sometimes it is very difficult to debug programs.""Constantly evolving with new features, which can be challenging for users.""Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment.""Improvements can be made to the products generic offering. It's not customized for health care. It doesn't understand the meaning of health care related concepts. Providing a greater degree of industry specificity would make the tool much more unique and valuable."
