"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."

"The solution is easy to install."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."

"Recording is a major feature for us. Dictation is huge. I use that on client calls when the client is speaking."
"The platform is stable and easy to use."
"The best thing about 365 Business is its availability."

"You can easily connect to this application with minimal bandwidth."
"The solution is scalable."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."

"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The configuration could be faster."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered a free version. Currently, there are only paid options available."

"Microsoft Teams, which is a video conferencing, chat, and collaboration tool, has some issues with video codecs. It has really bad performance, especially on the Mac OS, and requires a lot of improvements. I'm using MacBook Pro, and the performance of Microsoft Teams is disastrous. It is really unusable. Given our subscription, we get Microsoft Teams for free, but we are often opting to use Zoom or some other tool because the entire computer becomes almost unusable. New age applications should be written in a way that ensures similar performance across different operating systems. I'm not sure how it works on Windows. I assume it works better, but Microsoft needs to ensure that the performance is really good. It should provide the same kind of user experience across different platforms. They can use more efficient development tools when it comes to applications. They seem to be using a technology that uses a lot of resources on our personal computers. I know that Microsoft is pushing a lot of applications to be built in the Office 365 ecosystem, but Microsoft Teams should be a focus because it is a collaboration tool. Its performance and usability need to be better, especially in the times of COVID-19. As a part of management, I use the collaboration tools and video conferencing tools for approximately five or six hours a day. Such issues have a big business impact because the management makes decisions about the tools that are going to be used within the company. SharePoint could somehow be improved or changed to match the features of Confluence from Atlassian. There is an opportunity to do some improvements there."
"The price could always be better. I live in Turkey, our economy is not very good."
"Technical support could be better."
"The pricing model could be improved."
