We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Pros →

"The solution is quite intuitive and easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices.""It is stable.""There's a lot there in terms of apps and features.""My primary use case is for preparing presentations to teach, often on PowerPoint.""The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent.""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 tools of Office which is good because participation and sharing is very good. That's the most important aspect of Office 365.""We use it for documentation management, to collaborate with Microsoft Teams, web calls, web conference calls, chats, and as a documentation repository mainly. We have an Office pack suite to be able to write documentation, make spreadsheets, and create PowerPoints."

Cons
"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request.""There are some complexities to the initial setup if you use some of the more advanced features.""It seems like every other week when we log into the administrative portals, it doesn't matter which one, it could be the active directory portal, it could be the exchange admin center or SharePoint admin center, it seems like Microsoft is consistently updating with new versions of the admin centers, which can be frustrating.""The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot.""I rate the support of Office 365 a four out of five.""Using Office 365 is not that flexible on some mobile devices, like Android.""Constantly evolving with new features, which can be challenging for users.""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."
