"There's a lot there in terms of apps and features."

"The product makes communication seamless."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution makes it easy to create groups, share documents, and communicate."

"We use Slack for general communication, conference calls, and sharing screens because we have people working from different countries."
"The solution has a great user interface and functionalities. It has good features that we can use. We can integrate any third-party application with Slack so that it provides you with insights and updates in real-time on Slack itself."
"The most valuable feature is the screen sharing, which works well."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Normally, they have a way to work with specific developments, and I think they shouldn't allow the partners to make some changes they have made. When I have a client with a lot of changes, we have a problem with that because there aren't rules to develop inside the ERP, so you can do anything."
"Integration with other platforms can be improved."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has."

"The integration with SharePoint doesn’t work properly."
"There could be a read function so that when you send a message, instead of the other person having to add a reaction, you know that the message went through."
"I think Slack could add additional features without making the solution slower or more difficult to use."
"The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first."
"The solution should have less frequent updates."
"I want a feature in the solution that will help me share documents only with the set of people that I prefer rather than all of them. I would also like the solution to have a feature similar to Microsoft SharePoint where you can group all your documents."
