Microsoft 365 Business Premium

The best way to manage email with Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium is with Outlook Web Access (OWA). This is just a web-based version of Outlook that's highly reminiscent of the desktop product but with a sleek, modern look. Calendars, contacts, and tasks are where you'd expect them to be, but the inbox has an interesting twist to it. Rather than just being a dumping ground for all incoming email, it defaults to a focused view. This is a new and constantly improving machine learning (ML) algorithm that attempts to figure out which email is most important to you. Everything else goes to the regular inbox.

Microsoft 365 Business is well-suited for large organizations. It's easy to keep track of the programs and if anything needs to be updated. In addition, because of its wealth of programs, larger organizations benefit from using 365 as a consistent way to ensure everyone is using the same programs. Smaller companies might not benefit too much for such a large umbrella of programs, but as a large organization and in my large team, Microsoft 365 has so many programs that we use on a daily basis.

Office 365 can be very well suited for any organization that is already entrenched in the office ecosystem and needs robust collaboration tools. In addition, for organizations already comfortable with using Outlook for e-mail, Office 365's Exchange-like e-mail service is best-in-class and is specifically designed to fully integrate with Outlook. Finally, Office 365 can be used with a 3rd party domain providing a one-stop shop for many web-based and domain-based services.

On the flip side, for an organization that simply needs the Office application and doesn't require the plethora of other features that Office 365 provides (robust collaboration features, file syncing across multiple devices, e-mail hosting, etc.), Office 365 can be complete overkill and not worth the subscription price. A one-time purchase of a perpetual Office license would make a lot more sense both financially and from an ease of use standpoint (no advanced or web-based features to manage).

Finally, for an organization that is already using a competing service, such as Google's G-Suite, the transition to Office 365 can be a time consuming and expensive prospect. While I personally feel that Office 365 is a better managed, designed and thought product that G-Suite, G-Suite is good enough for many organizations.

Well suited for small and medium-sized businesses with no IT staff or ones that need for in-house servers.

Not well suited for sensitive files that cannot be cloud-based.

It's important to be online and not work in an offline environment to take real advantage of the features.

Although Microsoft 365 Business has minor bugs and issues, it is a tool which is used by our organization on a day to day basis for different types of services. I would still recommend it as it is still a very useful tool.

Works well as a common work tool for all parts of the company; allows more collaboration and communication with open access and the ability for multiple users to make updates at the same time. The email and calendaring functions of Outlook get a great amount of use, particularly the ability to check the calendars of other people for availability.

I think it is great for small to medium business particularly if you have a mobile sales crew and need to support users who aren't at your location. It puts a lot of power in both the user and the admin's hands which makes it easy to transfer between machines and allows for emergency "work from home" scenarios.

Microsoft 365 Business is well-suited for ease of access with 24/7 customer support whether you're in the office or on the road. File sharing and communication are key when maintaining a business and Microsoft 365 Business allows you to do that.

For small businesses, it is a perfect fit. It gives full functionality to the entire office suite.

Office365 is well suited in companies that work with a lot of information, and handle a lot of projects that need to be reviewed periodically by managers or directors for statistics or Business Analytics. Also it is appropriate for software development teams since they add the Microsoft Teams app, this tool is very helpful and let you manage software development projects organized and in a clean way. Otherwise, it is not recommend to use this product for small projects or business, due to the fact that practically you don't need the most of the services they provide. Probably in a small company all that you need is an Outlook account and Word, Excel and PowerPoint, that could be provided by another less expensive license.

Microsoft 365 Business is valuable in how it includes the powerful line-up of all necessary Office productivity tools and applications for any sized business. Aside from its standard office apps, Microsoft 365 Business also integrates seamlessly with marketing tools for personal branding. Office Suite offers the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, OneNote, and Skype as required so your office is always on the latest and greatest.

Great for corporations! Not so great for schools because it takes too many steps to accomplish things - many school employees are not exposed to as much tech as those in other businesses. The menus and steps can be overwhelming to them. Perhaps have a simplified version - or one that is specifically designed with collaboration from educators?

For the cost, Office 365 is great if you have employees working outside of the Office. We, of course, wish it worked a little more smoothly but for the price, I can't complain too much.

When working on larger scale projects that require collaboration among teams and team members, Microsoft 365 is well suited. It's great to support large enterprises and to be used organization-wide. An area where it might not be as needed or necessary is smaller scale projects and tasks that involve very few people. That's not to say it wouldn't still be helpful, but it may just be unnecessary.

It is perfect for small businesses with partners and clients that are not located in the same area. The ease of having files that can be shared enriches the communication between all parties and allows our clients to always feel like they are a part of the creative process. With our partners and clients scattered all over the globe, Microsoft 365 Business makes talking with each other—no matter the time—easy.

It is perfect for large organizations or even medium ones who have the budgetary flexibility to afford it while expanding and serving their employees. I can see the cost being somewhat of a burden for smaller companies, but trying to get by with a free alternative would be pretty unwise. Microsoft 365 is simply impossible to beat for what it offers.

Microsoft 365 is smart for businesses of most sizes. It also has integrations with scheduling tools (Zoom), which is nice.

However, It's not best for the everyday email user.

For large to small companies, this is a good fit. Skype is also included and can be used for VOIP solutions being replaced with Team now. Share point is part of this solution as well.

This is the best set of productivity (email, spreadsheet, and documents) tools on the market. The compatibility is great since most people that you interact with are already going to be using Microsoft Office. A good alternative is Google Drive and Google's office tools. But, in performance and ability, Microsoft's offerings edge out Google's.

It is great for team collaboration with file sharing and access to your work wherever you may be, on any device.

Microsoft 365 Business is well suited for businesses of all sizes across any industry I can think of. I would describe it as an essential tool for any business that owns computers. With this package, you can create your own templates for quotes, sales receipts, and tracking forms without getting into expensive custom solutions from outsourced parties.

I think it is well suited for a company trying to offload some of their old internal IT functions to the cloud. It reduces the stress internally and provides for better uptime which is critical for e-mail. I think it also helps reduce hardware costs as you no longer need onsite servers with the same amount of power since you no longer have to run Exchange.

Microsoft 365 Business is great for the small business that requires the use of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint tools. Actually, I think this tool would work for any companies that have to work on projects like accounting. I personally use Excel every day. It is a lifesaver and saves me a ton of time when it comes to creating accounting reports and financial data reports. If you require the need to have multiple people working on the same project at the same time then Microsoft 365 Business is not for you. Also, Microsoft 365 Business does get expensive if you have tons of employees that need the software. Maybe it is possible to get a deal through Microsoft for a huge volume of users.

Microsoft 365 Business is very well-suited for a global company with geographically dispersed employees, efforts, and projects to allow for collaboration and support from any connected device. While it can take some time to integrate and ensure consistent use across your enterprise, the benefits far outweigh any difficulties in start-up and the learning curve is quick.
