Microsoft 365 Business Premium is very well suited for small to medium-sized organizations. Due to the robust security and governance abilities I recommend this as the starting point license for any small and medium business. The Basic and Standard licenses do not offer the unique advanced security features that Premium has to offer such as End Point Manager, Defender for Business, and policies. As well as other items. Premium may not be suited for businesses with less than 3 employees but I would highly consider it again because of the security features.

Almost everyone uses Microsoft products so the collaboration with the web-based documents is good. We do need to watch the version of Microsoft that others are using since if a document is saved in a later version it may not have all functionality for someone who has an earlier version. All of our users are fine, but some people outside of our organization still use old versions.

I believe that Microsoft 365 Business Premium is applicable for any type of work or scenario. It's what I like the most about this program. In addition, it is the software that is used the most here in Mexico, and that makes it accessible to all, we should not spend financial or time in training new recruits, they recognize it just by looking at it. Where I think it could not work well is in the use of some devices, such as tablets. In things, it is very difficult to use these programs on manual devices, outside of computers.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is well suited for companies that have members that work both in an office and out in the field, or maybe even remotely from home. It allows the admin to control who has access to what information and keep things secure while also ensuring that information is available to those who need it. If you are a small company of just a few employees it may not be quite as helpful, but it's hard to think of a scenario in which you couldn't make it fit your needs.

Microsoft 365 is like a hub for all your Microsoft software including one drive. our office uses SharePoint and I access that along with backing up my computer and files for on the go with one drive. It just all-in-one complete productivity suite you need to do your job. An auto-save document feature (i use OneDrive) that saves me thousand time, and the fact that this software is a standard in every industry brings convenience to its users to exchange document and work on same project.

Microsoft 365 does a great job in delivering MS Office programs to all members of the team. We use Dropbox for document management and it ingrates nicely with that. We had tried using Google Drive and found that its document management is not nearly as intuitive as Microsoft. The only issue is when that autosave requires me to log into One Drive which we do not use.

But I suggest that companies who are small scale and especially startups should go with this solution as you don't need anything else apart from Microsoft 365 business premium. They have 1 TB of storage per person/user so it saves on your storage cost and even on buying expensive servers. Also, you don't need to buy separate Microsoft office tools like Excel (which is maximum used in all organizations), Word, PowerPoint etc. so hence you are saving the cost indirectly.
It is not suited for organizations who are only looking for a mailing solution or a budget-friendly solution

I'll be honest: as a Mac user, Microsoft 365 Business Premium feels like a poor first choice for day to day work--Numbers and Pages on MacOS are great tools for simple reports and number crunching. But the companies we work with run on Microsoft Office, and having the real thing beats any alternative for simple, no-hiccups inter-operation. Excel, in particular, is still the gold standard--dealing comfortably with datasets that Numbers and Google Sheets choke on.

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.

Microsoft is a standard software in any organization and has been for decades. They have done a great job with [Microsoft 365 Business Premium] modernizing and keeping up with her experience. The mobile and on demand file access is amazing.

As a former corporate trainer, this suite feels easy to implement and use. The ability to update as necessary without purchasing a whole new box of software makes it easy to support and add new users. It has the same feel and look people are used to. Overall the features are intuitive and compatible with customers and coworkers.

If the organization is a consultancy business or has more than 50 employees, then Microsoft 365 Business Premium is the right choice. If the user is a freelancer, then I do not suggest such an expensive application.

The senior employees may have difficulties to adapt to such a bundle product. OneDrive would be challenging if users start saving their personal files on business laptops. Because these files will be saved on cloud and will not be deleted for some time even though you delete them from the physical laptop.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is appropriate for medium sized organizations that require lots of real-time collaboration and data sharing. It's truly the standard for collaboration with customers or other individuals outside of your organization as well. I would recommend purchasing some sort of onboarding assistance if offered to train and assist employees and leaders in the organization with implementing this software so that it can be used to the fullest extent. This particular subscription would be less appropriate for smaller organizations or independent entrepreneurs.

Whether you are looking for a lower-tier of the Microsoft 365 suite, or want to move into the Business Premium collection, I would strongly recommend it to other colleagues in the field. First and foremost, the cloud management of the Email operation alone is an ideal move in the right direction as it is a cost-effective means to manage Microsoft Exchange. The same cane be said for features such as Azure and Active Directory. Additionally, when you move yourself into the higher tiers, you get a product like InTune which is used for end-point management which helps implement a very thorough mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) policy.

Microsoft 365 Business premium is well suited if you want to get a bundle of very useful programs at one time that while may have occasional glitches are mostly well designed and most easy to use. Most businesses would benefit from this package. I cannot think of any type of business that does not use or cannot use at least part of this.

I can't think of a single business that wouldn't benefit from 365 since it's what most other businesses use. While there are competitors out there, 365 continues to be the standard, making it indispensable for any 21st-century office. Its widespread adoption also helps when recruiting potential employees, as there's an excellent chance the candidate has used some or all of the suite's applications in a previous position. But it's not perfect, and if you're [an] Apple shop, you may be frustrated by the somewhat less reliable performance on Mac machines.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium would be ideal for companies that would like the ability to collaborate on or share projects via the cloud but do not want to use Google. This product also works well with Microsoft desktop applications. It would be less ideal for those who do not have good or consistent internet access, as this will limit ability to get full use out of it.

There is very little to not like about [Microsoft 365 Business Premium]. In a law firm setting it is superior and is the leader in business office user end software. We use it for electronic discovery requests, review, trial prep, depositions, just about every aspect of the legal field can be covered with [Microsoft 365 Business Premium]. I highly recommend it.

There is no parallel to the Office 365 Suite. Most businesses already use Microsoft products, but Microsoft 365 Business Premium takes collaboration to the next level. The ability to store files on a personal cloud, edit files through a browser, and receive live updates from Microsoft elevates all users and teams that leverage it.

I have used both G-suite and Microsoft group of products. Each is tool suited for a given context. While I prefer G-suite for its simplicity, integration, and built in cloud storage functionality, I would recommend Microsoft to any colleague looking for a more powerful set of tools. While the G-suite is simplistic, Microsoft 365's built in applications are simply more powerful to create documentation, spreadsheets, and presentations.

I think it's well suited for any size business, period. There will be components of MS 365 Business Premium that are used more heavily in larger organizations, but I feel there is value in every product within this software suite that can be utilized by all organizations. It allows the consolidation of other software to hopefully save money and also to provide a consistent UI and experience for the employees by adopting the applicable software.
