There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"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'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product."
"I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint."
"I'm not sure if there are areas of improvement. For us, it's working quite well."
"Using Office 365 is not that flexible on some mobile devices, like Android."
"Performance-wise, Office 365 needs a lot of bandwidth. The problem is, the solution requires very high bandwidth and internet usage. Meaning, the desktop application consumes a lot of internet data. Sometimes, when the connection is slow, it won't work and it won't load. This is an area for improvement for Office 365."
"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."
"The online applications have limited functionality compared to the local applications."
