I usually recommend Microsoft 365 to my clients to keep them away from the Exchange server (sorry!) Our business has a lot of issues with exchange email functions and copy machines. I always recommend they download the desktop version and use the online version as needed. You never know when you will be without an internet connection, but you can usually trust your laptop will have a decent charge, and you can still be productive! Let it sync when the powers are back on - or your connection is alive.

The industry standard for most companies!

Microsoft 365 is well suited for every company that needs to send and receive and create email and documents. Because of Sharepoint in combination with OneDrive it allows for a central point of data. If you work alot with external customers thats an amazing point.

I haven't actually seen a scenario where Microsoft 365 wouldn't be a good addition.

Microsoft 365 is a good suite for large enterprises companies for their collaboration and productivity. It's useful for remote working and file sharing on OneDrive.
I prefer other vendor tools for online calls because Teams is very heavy and Skype not useful in general for my organisation where some other products are mostly used.

I have been working on this product for more than 10 years now. This product has evolved and made tremendous improvements during this period. This product is a complete package and suitable for almost every environment. It will work in simple, medium, large and complex environments. Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams and OneDrive will fulfill your business requirements. There are features like Data classification, labelling, records management, Ediscovery, Legal hold, ATP, DLP, Defender which are must in every organization.


The only thing I am a little not confident about this product is its reliability on protection. It is not as efficient as anybody would want. Even if you apply stringent of restrictions it can still be broken and Spam or other malicious activity can enter.

The scenario where the Microsoft 365 is well suited is when a meeting is scheduled in the Teams, the outlook will send mail to all the members who are included in the meeting. The person who wants to conduct the meeting need not to communicate with everyone separately. The less appropriate scenario is like when the data is sent through teams to other collegue, the data sometimes changes it format and some format files cannot be transferred using Microsoft 365 softwares.
