Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

The feature I find most valuable is Business 365's real-time edit and updates. You can share files, and it will automatically create the link for you.

I've been using Business 365 for about two years.

So far, Business 365 has been stable. Microsoft has been around for quite some time already. However, people might think it's unstable if it hasn't been set up correctly. If the IT team hasn't configured it right, then you'll have a hard time using the product itself. That is what I felt prior to joining this company. I thought Business 365 wasn't good, but I realized that the IT team had set it up incorrectly. 

I think Business 365 is scalable because everything is in the cloud right now.

I haven't contacted Microsoft support. Typically, I do my own research about fixes online, so I don't need to contact Microsoft.

I'm unsure about the setup because my company laptop had the solution already installed when I got it.  

I rate Business 365 eight out of 10. It's a good product, but I can't really say whether it's the best, to be honest. But I'll rate it eight. Rating a product 10 means they don't need to improve anything. I rate it eight because Windows is constantly changing and improving it. 

I use Microsoft 365 Business to access the application that is part of the suite, such as Outlook.

The most valuable features are the user-friendly interface and ease of use. There is a benefit to not needing to install the application on your computer. For example, if you want to use Outlook or another application you can easily navigate to the website through your phone and quickly check your email. This is a very useful feature.

I would prefer to use Microsoft Outlook rather than Office 365 because of the way features are available in Outlook. There are times it becomes difficult to get to certain features through Office 365. For example, if you want to recall an email that you have accidentally send across to someone this is not very easily available through Office 365. The shortcuts available through Outlook are not there in Office 365 Business.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

Microsoft 365 Business is scalable.

We have approximately 5,000 users using this solution in my organization.

The installation is smooth. 

There is a subscription needed for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

We are using it for our emails and SharePoint services. We are also using OneDrive for all Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel data analysis documents. We have its latest version.

SharePoint and emailing are two technologies that are very widely used by all employees.

Its price can be lower. It is definitely a bit expensive than other on-premises and cloud-based solutions. 

It can also be improved from the security aspect. We recently got the configuration of O365 components tested from an independent partner. While doing our analysis, we found certain gaps that ideally should have been covered as part of the implementation. Microsoft can look into these implementation issues and include a checklist as part of the implementation so that customers are aware of the minimum requirements for implementation.

We have been using this solution for four years.

It is a very stable product. So far, we have not faced any issues.

It is on the cloud, so it is highly scalable. We have around 1,800 users.

Their technical support is good. I have not faced any challenges so far.

We were on Lotus Notes, and we migrated from Lotus Notes to this solution.

There are two parts to it. The first part is the enablement of the subscription, which is done by Microsoft or the OEM after we procure the solution. The second part is where we need to write some components on our firewall, proxy, and antivirus.

The deployment was pretty smooth. In less than a week's time, it was pretty well configured. In the last four years, we have not faced any kind of issues with this solution.

The OEM partner for Microsoft did the installation. Two persons can manage the deployment.

It has a subscription-based model, so we need to procure as many licenses as required as part of an enterprise agreement. 

It is a little bit expensive. It is definitely a bit more expensive than other solutions that are on-premises. It is also expensive as compared to the cloud-based solutions from other companies. However, when we look at the ease of use of the product and the adoption by the users, its cost can definitely be considered as comparable to other products. The features that we get in this solution are not available in solutions from its competitors.

I would recommend this product to others. With respect to the services that are available on O365 and the kind of applications that are available on the O365 platform, it is pretty good. We will keep using it.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for Microsoft Teams. We are customers of Microsoft.

Teams is the most valuable feature of 365 and I also appreciate that the solution is able to provide many different features such as cloud, OneDrive, Office, emails, etc. 

UINUX for Microsoft 10 is so heavy for our users. For my students and staff it's sometimes slow to access the application, there are connectivity issues. I think Microsoft needs to make a light version for UINUX. I'd like to see an engine included. 

I've been using this solution for six months. 

This is a stable solution. 

The solution is scalable - we have around 2,000 users in our company.

We initially look on the internet to solve any problems and if we can't solve the issue we contact customer service. They provide good support. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

I would recommend this solution. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution for business intelligence.

The Power BI environment and the integration between Power BI and SQL are the solution's most valuable features. The integration between products is great.

The solution's licensing framework needs improvement.

The integration of the SQL server development environment is a little bit difficult to handle. They should work to make this easier.

The solution is very scalable, but it gets more expensive as you grow.

We haven't really contacted technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. We're working with a complex environment, so before we implemented it we tested it with a prototype and in pilot environments. You only need two people for maintenance.

We had our own internal team implement the solution. 

The solution is quite expensive and gets more expensive if you have to scale.

We use both the cloud and on-premises deployment models.

I'd recommend the product. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

We have a mixed deployment. Some solutions are on-premises, and some are on the cloud. We are using email on-cloud, and document management and sharing of documents are done on-premises. We have the latest version of this solution.

Its flexibility is most valuable. It provides flexibility and a dynamic approach. It is not limited by a physical location, and it can be run on different devices from different locations.

They can improve its price and make the way of sharing documents more secure.

I have been using this solution for around three months.

It is stable and reliable.

It is scalable. We have around 600 users.

So far, we didn't require any technical support. 

It was complex.

We got help from their local office for deployment, and we are satisfied with their support.

Licensing is on a yearly basis. Its price could be better.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

I have been using this solution for about five years.

This solution is a SaaS application, so it's always a public-cloud based deployment.

The most valuable feature is Microsoft Teams.

Improvements can be made with the governance and compliance of this solution.

The migration from tenant to tenant can be improved.

There are loads of holes in security and I'd like to see better integration with security products.

Stability is not a problem.

This is a scalable solution.

We have not needed to contact technical support for this solution.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward once you know what you are doing. There are enough guides and documentation out there to help you.

This solution is updated on a monthly basis.

My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is to understand what you are buying. Microsoft 365 is a huge product. Depending on which plan you purchase, there are a plethora of applications available to you. It's important to understand what those applications can do for you.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

General implementation from an on-premise licensing model.

At this point, I cannot say if there has been an advantage to changing.

Installing on multiple devices/platforms.

Cross-application integration.
