Office 365 is scalable, but it is dependent on the situation. We don't have a problem with it from an organizational standpoint. They started with 100 employees and then added another 500 after six months, for a total of 600 employees. The setup of new users, new emails, and new applications to be assigned to the new users is straightforward.

They also provide the PowerShell command, which they provided more, development type, like, for example, you can create users, not manually, but through a script that can create users, for example, 100 users in two, three minutes, and you don't do it manually. They're fantastic.

My portfolio contains approximately 50 companies. Office 365 is our primary platform for the 50 companies. I only have one on G Suite, and the majority of them will be migrating from G Suite to 365 in the coming month.

Office 365 is scalable, although collaboration has to happen through SharePoint. I would say that it can scale to large, global enterprises very easily.

The scalability depends on the service area. For example, the scalability is good for the public sector, banks, and companies that are doing projects. For businesses like that, it's very useful. But for industrial and logic sectors, it's not scalable. 

There are some simple ERPs that are much better than Microsoft Navision and Business Center. For scalability, SAP is much more powerful than Microsoft.

The scalability is great. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

I would estimate that 80% of the people in our company are using Excel. That's over 60 people, for sure.

We have found Office 365 to be scalable.

We have approximately 25 people using this solution in my organization. All of our departments are using it.

The organization is growing rapidly, as we onboard more users, we'll be using Office 365 a bit more. We typically recommend Office 365 to our clients. The feedback that we have received from our clients is it's a solution they're willing to stay with.

I'm not sure if scalability is an issue for this kind of application.

In our organization, there are hundreds or maybe even thousands of users. Everybody probably has some instance of it, whether it's on the cloud or on-prem. it's pretty prevalent across departments.

We are a huge company. For all of the applications we use, we have 20-30 people engaging in the support of all the projects, and not this solution in particular.

My understanding is the organization is planning to move exclusively to Office 365 and probably to the cloud. That's the next step we are taking.

I'm pretty sure that this platform is very scalable because now, almost everybody is working from home and using it. We have between 1,500 and 1,600 users who are scattered across geography. Approximately 1,300 are in India and the remainder is spread across the US.

Cloud Security Lead at a security firm with 1-10 employees

This is a scalable solution. You just need to invest in the new added user licenses and get those onboard. It is on your tenant ID, which is already created. So I guess scalability is quite easy in Office 365. You can go in for new licenses every year and easily scale up. My organization currently has between 400-500 users of this product. We have a team of two or three who deal with it. We plan to increase usage and we already give training sessions on usage of this product on a use case basis depending on the department you're working in.

Head of Solutions Delivery (Systems) at a wellness & fitness company with 51-200 employees

In terms of scalability, we haven't had any issues. We've been using it quite heavily over the last couple of months with lots and lots of people running different meetings at the same time, and lots of people in a single meeting. We haven't had any issues so far in terms of scaling the solution in that sense.

We've got probably about 5,000 people in our organization using it and they vary from technical IT teams to our business unit is across different areas, like marketing, finance, HR, etc. Pretty much the whole organization is using it. I don't think we could possibly increase usage at this point as it's already so pervasive in our organization. That said, we have no plans to move away from it.

IT Officer at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees

The scalability of Office 365 is quite good. The cost of the licenses is the main issue when it comes to scalability, not the product itself. We have to try to balance the number of licenses according to the most critical users.  

We do plan to increase usage over time since the company will always grow. As the number of critical users increases, we will need to purchase more licenses.  

So there is the possibility of changing the number of licenses we are using and that would be all we need to do to scale usage with some very minor attention to security issues.

Managing Consultant at a consultancy with 201-500 employees

The scalability is okay. However, we have such a large organization, and because IT has to enact it, it takes a while to do each one by one. In order to scale, a company simply has to buy more licenses, so, from that perspective, it's easy.

We use Excel to do business continuity for small companies, with perhaps one hundred employees. There are usually four or five people who need to use the tools.

For larger companies, with use other tools because it is easier to manage.
