"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."

You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
