For example, sending attachments to specific folders on SharePoint, adding people's SharePoint when certain apps are performed, or emailing certain people at certain instances, such as when you've done a follow-up with the CRM and you need a marketing email to be sent out at a particular point."
"Adaptable solution with a good interface. It's easy to set up and easy to use."

"In some cases, we are using the Google Meet functions but only when we have external clients. Internally, we are using Slack. Google Meet virtual meeting function is not as advanced as the one in Slack and should improve."
"We need more functionality with Google Sheets"
"There are 120 different products and Google is ready to copy their competitors and vice versa. Some of them work, and some of them don't.

"The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features."

"Our users have faced an issue with increasing their email quotas over the last three months."
"Not all tools are available in the one facility."

"The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could use some customization, but this area for improvement is trivial."
"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 security should be improved."
