Great software, easy to use, and you won't need to spend more money once you have it!
- Work in sync in different departments.
- Being able to work from any device or computer. It is a very noble tool in different devices.
- The work between the different programs (Word, Excel, Notes) that it offers is extremely light and good.
- At times it does not recognize the spell repair tool.
- In the creation of tables, it does not allow to recover the format of another of its programs (such as, for example, a format that we want to copy from Excel to Word is distorted).
- When we want to use the comments section on paragraphs or parts of the document, it does not allow us to interact freely between users. Sometimes we can't name each other.
Allows us to keep work going from anywhere!
- Allows us to work remotely.
- Allows for all employees to access the most up-to-date information at any given time.
- Allows us to connect with out-of-town clients or those that aren't comfortable with face-to-face meetings yet.
- The only thing that is a bit cumbersome is that it doesn't seem that you can save files directly to programs like one drive if you aren't using a Microsoft program to generate the document. An example of this would be if I am working in a PDF in our PDF Program I have to first save it to my desktop and then drag it into one drive. I end up with duplicates and that can sometimes make it hard to remember which is the most up-to-date.

Microsoft 365 !!!!
- I love the advanced security & ease of use with this program
- The cloud based business applications make a world of difference.
- A problem I've ran into using Word was that the document needed a lot of modifications in order to be uploaded as an ebook and published on Amazon.
- I hate, hate, hate, hate the fact that you cannot install each app on its own.
The simplest way to use the industry standard
- Data analysis
- Reporting and presentation
- Rounds of editing and collaboration on large reports and documents
- Complex tasks are possible, but simple tasks are hard
- Mac users are locked out of Visio
The real frustration is the lack of Visio for the Mac--when collaborating with colleagues on architectural diagrams and simple visualizations for upcoming projects, translating back and forth between Mac-compatible applications (or using the web interface) is a pain.
The whole organization uses Microsoft 365 Business Premium
during daily operations. Since we work in consultancy, we handle a lot
of sensitive data from clients. Microsoft 365 Business Premium offers the necessary features for
data privacy and security.
In addition, it offers many other features, such as
share-portal, teams, office applications, and OneDrive. These enable the employees
to work simultaneously with the data and decrease the operational workload.
The features such as Office 365 message encryption, data loss prevention, built-in anti-spam protection, anti-malware protection, and Microsoft Defender are very beneficial for preventing hackers and increasing online security.
The
devices, Microsoft licenses, and users can be all managed by administrators of
the organization. These enable the organization to decrease its costs.
- Data security and privacy; prevention of unauthorized access
- Online cybersecurity
- Decrease costs by bundling multiple Microsoft products
- Accessibility control and user management
- OneDrive and Share portal enable building the knowledge library
- Synchronization problems with OneDrive
- Not enough tutorials for new users
- Pricing model should be changed--too expensive
- Difficult to configure policies
Microsoft 365 Business Premium for Medium Nonprofit
- Communication in real time integrated with document creation and sharing.
- Mobile apps available with full functionality on the go.
- Calendar and Sharepoint functionality is essential to the success of our mission.
- Some features could be much easier to use than they currently are. Some of the apps and other features require a developer or other Microsoft Certified expert and are not as user friendly as we'd like them to be.
- Training is available through third parties but organizations don't always have the time to do this. The self help articles on the Microsoft website are outdated sometimes - and can be a waste of time without you realizing it until it's too late!
- Data integrity could be better managed - many times through the setup process when we upload items in bulk, the upload manager will indicate a successful data transfer but the file will be corrupted (and we didn't notice it until after we deleted the originals).
My Microsoft 365 Business Premium Review
- Contains many different systems in one package
- The word program is hard to be beaten by other word type programs
- Is much easier to use than a lot of similar programs
- Outlook email is over complicated for an email program
- Some of the software such as Excel can be glitchy
- Can be more costly than similar programs
You need this office suite
- Integration -- all applications in the suite work well together and with other office software
- Online resources -- available templates are plentiful and save time
- Collaboration -- sharing resources is incredibly easy and collaboration tools are well designed
- Mac compatibility -- applications are not as reliable on Mac platforms
- Mac compatibility -- difficult to integrate with Apple file formats
- Speed -- opening documents or spreadsheets can sometimes bog down machines
- Document collaboration
- Cloud storage
- Easy connection to desktop Microsoft applications
- Poor internet connection may reduce ability to fully use this product
- Clearer way of communicating with others that you have a shared a document/project with them
- Perhaps not fully compatible with older versions of Microsoft desktop applications
Microsoft 365 Business - More Powerful than Google
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Calendaring
- Real time collaboration
- Cloud integration
Win with MS 365 Business Premium!
- Love the integration with Salesforce.com.
- Teams enables us to communicate easily through chat as well as voice.
- Overall integration of all the components makes for a user friendly and familiar interface.
- The quality of accepting an inbound call coming from a laptop where I try to answer it on my cell is sometimes very iffy and the quality is a bit below par. At the same time, that same call accepted on my laptop works perfectly. I'd like to see this be a bit smoother on the mobile device.
- We utilize WebEx for meetings as well within our organization and I feel that the WebEx interface is somewhat more user friendly and intuitive. I'd like to see the Video portion of Teams reflect a bit more of an intuitive interface.
Safe and timely Office automation
- Provides a robust and secure communication platform
- Provides easy-to-use office automation tools
- Offers affordable premium tools
- Provides support and technical support
- Updates often bring complications
- Autosave should be in all applications
- The Team should have, by default, the ability to communicate with other organizations
365 is Good for 366 Days A Year (for my yeap lear friends)
- Ability to work on multiple machines
- Always have your work accessible
- Able to share and discuss in real time with your team
- Stop changing feature names and icons
- Create floating pallets/ribbons
- Allow personalization of the ribbon to be deployed to individuals, teams and companies
This kind of productivity makes me happy
- Apps works on almost any device
- Very strong integrations between included apps and with third party apps
- Constant improvements on Applications
- Collaboration tools actually are useful
- Web applications could have more tools
- Mobile Outlook & Teams apps synchronization should be better
- Mac Applications are usually behind PC counterparts on feature for a time
The biggest drawback could be the cost per user, which is a bit more expensive than the competition. And on the cheaper option, it doesn't include the MS Office applications. But, for its price, it's my opinion that they offer the most solid offer.
Microsoft 365 Business Review
- Installation and use of the product is extremely easy and simplistic.
- You can access these components from anywhere in the world and on virtually any computer or phone.
- Once it is installed, you can use it without any internet access. This is great for when you are away on vacation or maybe even trying to get some work done on a plane.
- Sometimes if the document is sent to another person, it can be tricky for them to edit.
- There are many small icons within the toolbar that are supposed to help with editing and formatting your document but aren't explained. This could be confusing for first-time users.
- Updates are too frequent.
Business tools in a box
- Client communication.
- Compliance.
- I would like to have a longer license contract.
- Wish it was available in other operating systems.
Just as good as the reputation would have you expect!
The seamless integration of Outlook with all other programs in the suite makes document sharing a breeze. Cloud integration with OneDrive makes collaboration so much easier during month-end tasks that require a reconciliation, roll forward, or schedule to be looked at or contributed to by so many people without copy after copy floating around.
But selfishly, one of my favorite aspects of 365 is dark themes. Not only for aesthetic reasons (which do factor in), but for eye strain too! Cutting down on blue light in any way possible is always a plus, and thanks to darker themes in programs that are nearly always open on my PC (Outlook, Excel, etc.), those long-day headaches are far less frequent.
Something else to keep in mind with 365 is the ability for employees to contribute on another machine if their own issued computer is out of commission. With 365, documents need not be tied down to a machine that is lost, stolen, or in repair.
- Outlook integration: as mentioned in the rest of the review, working with documents, spreadsheets, etc. in Outlook is seamless. Previewing an Excel doc instead of opening can be a lifesaver when there are already 15 windows of Excel open!
- Aesthetics: while not the most important feature of any software, appearance can go a long way to make the experience feel less like a chore, and can also contribute to usability for a newer user.
- Time Management: Outlook works with Calendars, Teams, and Contact books to make meeting scheduling and execution easy, but with 365, the cloud focus allows even greater flexibility for someone working from home or calling into a meeting remotely.
- Memory management: on the more technical side, 365 manages the CPU and RAM of the user's machine in a way that isn't wasteful, and I personally have experienced far fewer crashes in cloud-based documents.
- In Excel: being an accountant, this is obviously the program I use most, and where I notice the most areas for improvement. Microsoft has historically paid attention to its community feedback, but could do so in a more timely manner, and also come back around to some of the issues that have multiple hundred "me too!" responses, but no official fix other than a program restart, or worse, none at all.
- In Microsoft Word: historically, page numbering has been a major issue with Word, and continues to be in 365. The system is confusing, clunky, and many users end up needing to put in manual text boxes to number pages. It's a relatively small issue, but frustrating on the occasions that it arises.
- In Outlook: having a view option for threads that collapses the traditional long-form to something more quickly scan-able would be huge. Compressing the four or five lines of "From", "To", "CC", and "BCC" into a single "John Doe to Jane Smith copying Mike Jones", and offering the longer form for the more traditional types would be an example.
Microsoft 365 Helps me Strive
- In my opinion the best feature for our business is being able to log in to different things remotely. I can access documents on my phone, my tablet, and even my home computer. Quite often I get a call while shopping or what have you with a work question and I love being able to take out my phone and easily answer a question or view a document.
- PowerPoint of course is a necessity in any business that is selling something. We are able to show a presentation to a potential client out in the field easily.
- When I was doing sales before I went into services there was an instance that while at the grocery store I ran into a potential client who started asking me questions on our services. I literally pulled out my phone and played a powerpoint presentation, I was also able to access other documents that were needed, I was able to edit them right on the spot. The next day I had a new client, signed sealed and delivered!!!
- Being able to set up conference calls and sent out invites easily to a group along with call-in number and code. Really easy to use.
- There are times when I have to "Skype" a client or someone and I really find that difficult to use. I don't really know how to improve it, I just don't like it.
- There was one time I was trying to do a mass email to my contacts and that was a pain as it was restricted on how many I could do. It hasn't been a problem since so I am unsure if IT fixed it.
Microsoft 365: Cloud based approach for future applications
- The ability to move from system to system within an ecosystem and continue that chain of work has been extremely useful for me.
- Hosting applications in the cloud have eliminated the need for huge capital investments in the conference rooms.
- I believe in the long run it helps in relieving the change fatigue across the organization, particularly when we move to upgrade our systems.
- Microsoft Office 365 absolutely needs some fundamental infrastructure. Without a reliable internet connection, there have been many instances when people have worked on a document offline and it never got updated. Such user experience pain points put a strain on the transformational changes you want to bring about in the organization.
- I think the biggest challenges will be adoption. There is just a lack of education from Microsoft.
- There will always be security challenges. I don't think these will go away but each concern needs to be seriously addressed.
Microsoft 365 Business Review
- Outlook and the security behind it help us manage and securely read our email.
- Excel is used heavily by our finance departments for reporting.
- Teams is becoming our go to application for instant messaging and remote meetings.
- As of late, Microsoft's support has taken a dive. Open tickets that have not been responded to for weeks. Newly opened tickets with no response for weeks.
- I would like to see Outlook adopt some of the features from Gmail (example: appointments and reminders auto-added to your calendar).
- Teams can be very slow in opening OneNote tabs and updating pages.
The number one software for a reason!
- Security is a great strength
- User-friendly
- Cloud based software
- Always up-to-date
- Accessibility
- I'd like to see the application software have version history by date and time like Google Sheets.
- Convenient for accessing anywhere
- Cross platform capabilities (Windows, iOS, web browsers, etc)
- Powerful software that has become the gold standard in ever organization (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Mobile applications are underwhelming
