Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Microsoft 365 would be well suited for medium to large enterprises. This is where there are several hundreds or thousands of people. Since most everyone has used one of the applications the learning curve would be reduced. Another reason would be the ability to implement security measures to prevent access to sensitive data. This could justify the cost of an Enterprise license. Incentivized Chad Howell Scrum Master Read full review	Discontinued Products I'd recommend [Microsoft] Office2016 for any business that has more than a couple of users, as the software is very scalable from just a small business to a large enterprise corporation. I don't know of any case where it might not be appropriate, as even home users and students use the software suite as well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Chat with teams and the integrations with the other apps, and many more smaller ones, like to-dos, news, and the recent Outlook integration. Easy embedding on SharePoint to broadcast all the content created in the different tools. The office package is still robust with the good things from the past and new additions. Incentivized Giovanni Jurado Business Analyst Team Lead Read full review	Discontinued Products Data manipulation. Excel takes the raw data we receive and allows us to digest it in ways that are useful to our business processes. Communication. Outlook serves as our primary means of communication and setting up appointments. Documentation. Word is the default standard when it comes to using a word processor and we are no different in this regard. Nearly every user has to use the application on a regular basis in order to accomplish their work. Incentivized Scott Herring Database Support Specialist Read full review	Microsoft We track employees' performance sheets, which are accessible to the employee, his manager, and HR, and this helps with transparency. We maintain technical process documents and SOPs, which help us quickly provide relevant documents during audits. We maintain incident documents change request forms in SharePoint, which helps us in tracking the changes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Forms lack comprehensive features and parameters for detailed questioning for example cannot be directly linked with Power BI Outlook email filters are not handy to use and require more detailing in terms of location past emails Teams requires substantially large amounts of system resources which could be finetuned Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products Office 2016 professional edition can be priced for a single user license, it would be nice to see a drop in the pricing. Office 2016 home edition is a better price but does not include outlook 2016, so it is not a good fit for the workplace environments. Office 2016 can run slowly on older systems, so you need to make sure you have a machine that is 4 years old or less for it to run smoothly. Incentivized Andrew Shannon Senior System Administrator Read full review	Microsoft Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer. Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic. Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice. Incentivized Jimmy Harrell IT Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft So far the Microsoft 365 platform provides features and tools that can cater to 100% of present organizations needs considering both technical and business necessities, however most features are not been effectively utilised at present. The current featureset is able to cover for most of the future needs of the business and technical functions. Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products We believe that office 2016 offers the best value when it comes to features included out of the box. The software is used in its entirety by our organization and is easily supported by our staff of IT technicians. Users find this software to be easy to learn and easy to use with minimal learning curve. Incentivized Lochan Kalicharan Freelance Photographer Read full review	Microsoft It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Microsoft Microsoft 365 is the gold standard for performing project tasks in a professional environment, enabling the quick transfer and exchange of files and ideas for team members who work locally and remotely. Its suite of tools is familiar and has evolved to being cloud based, allowing for files to be updated in real time from near and far. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Discontinued Products It's fairly easy to use, but the automatic formatting or capturing of formatting when pasting is wonky - especially when there are outlines or other bullets/numbered lists. Fixing and sizing up tables can be annoying, and there are sometimes formatting issues that we just absolutely cannot fix for some reason Incentivized Michael Kim Contracts Specialist Read full review	Microsoft No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Microsoft To-date Microsoft 365 platform has offered an amazing uptime and availability percentage per year compared to all other products which provide the stability and overall business resilience of their ecosystem which is a great relief for information technology service entitites which heavy rely on Microsoft offerings as a whole to redeliver their own custom products Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Performance	Microsoft The Microsoft 365 tools expects and demands a substantial amount of system resources to operate at optimal level and even more when integrated with other applications which is a downside, however given that external supporting tech factors such as fibre/broadband speed bandwidth, high speed RAM and ample storage resources are allocated the tools work error free providing robust communication Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Microsoft Over the past 8 years of using Microsoft 365, I have noticed that they change vendors often. This always leads to a poor experience in the beginning, then levels out after some time for the company to get things worked out. As a customer, it is really frustrating because I don't have time when something isn't working to have them "look into my issue" and get back with me. They have even closed a ticket I specifically told them to keep open. Your applications are only as good as the support. Incentivized Sam Livermore, MCP, iTIL Lead Systems Administrator Read full review	Discontinued Products I am an MS feedback hub participant and they certainly don't pay enough attention to several bugs several people raise it in the portal. For the enterprise, it seems to me based on my prior experience that yes, they have a dedicated team to support operations. For mid to small companies or single users, it has been a struggle. So, you are pretty much with MS Blogs and others. Incentivized Ricardo G Lopes English Interpreter & Translator Read full review	Microsoft Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers Quick turnaround time for issues A range of support services Access to a network of resources Escalation of issues Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues. Incentivized TD Tim Daciuk Director Advanced Analytics Read full review
In-Person Training	Microsoft The resellers involved with selling Microsoft products are reluctant to provide in person specialist trainings to consumers due to the fact of costs of economies of scale and is not provided free of charge most of the time. In Person trainings needs to be agreed to at the initiation of projects and implementations for better ROI. Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	Microsoft The standard training offered with 3rd part resellers are fairly standard and covers the basic workability however the trainings needs to be specifically customised according to unique requirements of the organizations. for example an MSP would need to master specific communications verticals within Microsoft 365 whereas and online store using Microsoft 365 would needs to master a different set of tools within the suite to get the best ROI post implementation. Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Microsoft The Microsoft support partners are more than capable of handling implementations and dealing with unprecedented errors during the implementations. Not part of the implementation though the setup was done with minimum misconfigurations which is evident with present live setup which works fine without any bugs and gaps at present context. Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft Planning to the last detail would be advised. SharePoint is a very large application that takes a lot of finesse to get operational Christopher Corbett Database Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Typically I prefer working with companies with Microsoft 365 as their main tool because they're usually a fast growing company with a global presence. I like using it for work because it's easy to collaborate, share, review, comment, reply in any of the tools. The mobile app for Outlook and Teams are lifesavers when we're constantly traveling and you can join meetings on the mobile Teams to never miss a beat. Incentivized Sarah Ager Sr. Product Marketing Manager Read full review	Discontinued Products We use Microsoft Office 2016 because at the time it was the best tool for us, but now with full attention to cloud products, we may be thinking of migrating our solution to a cloud service. Incentivized HO Hector Ochoa Network Engineer Read full review	Microsoft The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities. Incentivized Helmi Tatanaki Data Management Consultant Read full review
Contract Terms and Pricing Model	Microsoft Microsoft pricing is not very expensive and yet not very cheap as well, and it hovers in between the baseline. The charges are mostly based on the tier level partners who charge based on their individual reputation in the market. Power negotiation will lead to cost effective and attractive pricing Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Scalability	Microsoft Multiple tools within the same platform have been deployed successfully within different functional technical and non technical teams such as Devops, SOC, NOC, Shared services, Managed services, Global Information technology, Cloud operations, Finance, Administration, human resources and all these teams collaborate while maintaining central uniformity in terms of global standards who are dispersed in different geographical locations with ease Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Professional Services	Microsoft Have not directly obtained professional services from Microsoft but rather obtained specialized services such as implementations and configurations, setting up and integration support with Microsoft authorized suppliers, 3rd parties, and resellers, which has been a pleasant experience. Again the level of delivery quality on professional services is based on the level of hands on exposure of the 3rd party Incentivized Chinthaka Jayawardane Head/Senior Manager - Global IT Operations Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Microsoft We have a lot of nonprofit users, so they have a good ROI. I like the constant updates without having to purchase the software repeatedly. I used to purchase each Office (insert year here) often, so the software was up to date and had the newest options and connectors. I think my return on investment would have been much better if Microsoft had updated those versions to keep them current; after all, we did pay for them. Microsoft 365's offering a monthly fee or a discount for a year helps, and you can look at it as a free backup if you have everything set to back up to One Drive. (Cloud-based document filing you can access anywhere ( with an internet connection)—you Can't beat that!) TN Tracy Novack Administration Read full review	Discontinued Products Microsoft Office 2016 saves me a lot of time daily. I have functions and macros set up that calculate and show me a lot of things just from a couple of my inputs. This would take full days sometimes if not for that. Apart from time, it saves me money, I manage data in Excel, I don't have to buy software specifically for that. Sooner or later my company will have to switch to new edition, which will hurt revenues because of a subscription model. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft It comes with Office 365. It won't cost you any additional charges.
