Microsoft Teams helped us to collaborate more. We use the call feature to communicate with colleagues, and the document sharing feature is a secure way of sharing through the cloud.

We use it more for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. With the addition of Teams, which is an added feature that I like.

We have been struggling with quarantine email details, with office 365 as an admin, with an easy interface, we could able to trace which are all the emails are in quarantine, sometimes Genuine emails also will get blocked and quarantine, with trace option we can easily find the quarantined email and can allow the same to deliver it to recipients. IP Blocklists and country-wise, language-wise blocklist or allow list can be enabled to have better email security controls. Additional features like audit logs, message trace (delivered or failed to send or receive) are handy for IT admin personnel. And this solution can be easily connected with the help of Microsoft connectors to third-party cloud partners like Symantec, Sophos, barracuda, or Cisco email security. Last but not least exceptional channel partner and Microsoft services, based on the subscription services will be honored (like phone/email/remote, etc.)

Works

Easy sharing of files between team members in different locations, using both OneDrive and Office 365 (desktop and online), has improved efficiency by two times. Before using this solution, we had to rely on email to send files back and forth. No more renaming a document V1, V2, V10, Vn. Just open, edit, and let the seamless integration of Office and OneDrive deal with versions and edits.

We have found Office 365's many features and apps to be extremely useful, beyond the usual Word and Excel, which most people are used to using. We've made extensive use of SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and so forth, and are exploring the other capabilities of Office 365.

Project Manager & Non-Profit Practice Lead with 51-200 employees

Yammer and SharePoint’s social collaboration features have transformed our work style and the way we collaborate with the clients. There’s less of emails tracking and more moving the conversations forward, with greater context in terms of supporting the documents or issues being discussed.

Furthermore, the way that Excel has grown into a data analytics tool/engine with monthly updates is a pleasant surprise.

The tools have made a positive impact on our organization. Here are some examples:

  • Some meetings no longer need to occur at the different venues of our company. They can use Skype for Business instead.
  • Many teams have formed groups through which they share work files. Team members are not necessarily in the same physical location.
  • Human resources and communication teams use Yammer for their ads.
  • Managers make approvals from their cell phones, thereby making the operation more dynamic. Other services have gradually been incorporated.

Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

There were functionalities of the Lync 2013 client version that were not helpful, like connecting with people outside the organization and having better conferencing abilities. These have now been improved with the involvement of AT&T collaboration with Microsoft Lync. Moreover, Skype for Business Mobile is a more handy tool now.
