Microsoft 365 provides a full set of features so you have all of the needed tools at your hands - and then some!
- It has had a positive impact on reducing user frustration, where some individuals don't have the tech skills to use more advanced pieces of software - everyone can easily get the job done with the basic apps in Microsoft 365
- It had a positive impact on increasing employee efficiency so people can quickly finish small tasks like editing word documents much more easily than by uploading documents to Google Docs and editing them from there (i.e. fewer steps need to be taken since you don't have to upload docs to complete simple tasks)
- It had a negative impact on cost - we want to use just a single app on almost all machines, but had to buy the packaged licenses

Microsoft Office is still here
- It's our bottom line solution for offline applications
- Best way for me to pivot data
- Manages multiple email servers
June 29, 2021
Microsoft 365 is the only Office program I'll use
- It's an expense that is well-justified in our document management needs
- We don't have to pause activities for someone to pick up on how to use the software.
June 28, 2021
Microsoft 365 is #1
- Positive financial impact because its a program we've consistently kept and there really isn't a better alternative.
June 28, 2021
Microsoft 365 does it all!
- Using Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) reduces the cost involved to hire a separate team to manage network file servers
- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) simplifies the install process of the entire Office suite, eliminating the need for third-party consultants to do the installation
- Creating and implementing teams so staff can meet online reduces the need to invest in separate online collaboration tools
- Microsoft 365 has had a positive ROI impact on my org because even if my business internet is down, email is still flowing to Microsoft's servers.
- Microsoft 365 had a negative ROI when it replaced our in-house email server because it has a reoccurring cost, as opposed to an in-house email server which has a one-time cost.
- Microsoft 365 had a positive ROI when the pandemic hit because it made working from home very easy for all our users.

The Industry Standard for a reason
- Better organization. With each program tuned to its own specific abilities, it's easy to know what tool to use for what project.
- Better communication. With programs like Microsoft Outlook, emails and scheduling are easy to deal with.
- Streamlined process. Whenever we are in the middle of a project, it makes it extremely easy to simply run an equation or command in Excel to have it do the work for you.
- For me personally, I don't have a way to measure ROI but I can say that PowerApps and PowerBI have changed the way I do things and have increased my connection to the business.

Best productivity suite on the market

- A last positive impact it has had is that updates/patches to the software are automatic and managed by the vendor, which saves IT departments time in having to manage this.
- It helped us integrate our email services with clients.
- Clients who use Microsoft Office 365 find our interface easy to use.
- It doesn't cause problems for clients with Gmail.

Microsoft 365 - Best Features and Best Value
- Positively reducing capital expenses
- Positive by long term subscription model providing the latest updates automatically
June 03, 2021
Microsoft 365 - The next evolution of the Microsoft products you already know and use every day
- Definitely improved risk mitigation. When we were hit with ransomware, our users were able to still get to their email through Microsoft 365 without compromising other computers
- We do see increased efficiency in not requiring IT to physically load all programs on machines, where we can just download them onto our computers when needed
- Allows us to increase our paperless capabilities with the OneDrive saving and easier file sharing

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office) Review
- Microsoft 365 has been great for quickly creating good looking documents. Microsoft continues to roll out improvements, and the automatic updates and integration with Windows mean that I always have the latest versions without having to waste time on upgrades.
May 29, 2021
Microsoft 365 is really well rounded
- Increased efficiency - No more having to download each Microsoft program you need.
- The cost of a full package is much cheaper than buying each program separately.
- The ability to work together on files without losing information is great!
May 27, 2021
The Gold Standard
- Reasonably monthly subscription
- Always up to date
- Word plugins
May 27, 2021
Microsoft 365 is what I turn to 24/7/365!
- We used to meet in person every week, but COVID put a stop to that in 2020. Microsoft Teams has allowed us to continue meeting without risking our safety.
- SharePoint is another app in the Microsoft 365 suite. We use this to share files and data across the organization.
- Using OneDrive has saved all of my important documents from a computer crash. That is a priceless tool.

A great multi-purpose office suite
- Increased efficiency through easier, more efficient, and higher quality collaboration.
- Widespread adoption allows for reduced costs and greater consistency within the organization.
- The subscription-based package model means that licenses are purchased for some users that may not use certain applications or features within the package.
- Lowers infrastructure costs
- Easily deployable
- Remote connectivity is seamless
- online collaboration saves time because fewer in-person meetings and everyone can be in the same document at once working on different sections
- 365 is pricey since you keep paying for it over and over again
- have to obtain additional users' licenses as we acquire more hardware--definitely a costly investment from a software side

Microsoft 365 gets it done
- At $20 per license, the return of investment has been 100%, even though we do not fully use all that it is capable of.
- We have saved potentially thousands of dollars on purchasing an on-premises server.
- We have saved potentially thousands of dollars on having an on-site IT specialist devoted to assigning permissions, server maintenance, and similar.
- We have saved countless hours (which translates to money) being able to work remotely, access documents offline when needed, outside tech support (we use teams to "remote in" for troubleshooting), and finding "lost" versions of documents through versioning searches.
May 17, 2021
Microsoft Office 365 is the Best Software
- Kept things organized and well put together.
- Better team work.
