Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"It is stable."
"The most innovative feature of Office 365 is the Power Apps, which allows us to automate literally everything that we want automated.

"If two people update the same file, it causes issues."
"The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command."
"In terms of improvement, it should have tutorials when you first have the opportunity to use it, to be able to really learn it."
"Constantly evolving with new features, which can be challenging for users."
