Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 Business

Microsoft 365 Business is being used across the entire company for email, Word documents, Excel sheets, and PowerPoint. The seamless integration between all of the programs makes this intuitive and simple to use. As an example, you can easily import charts made in Excel into an MS Word document to provide a visual representation of your data.

Pros

  • The whole solution that provides a program for all of your basic to intermediate day to day business needs.
  • Programs that function seamlessly together with formatting that works the same across the board.
  • Controls and features that are common across multiple programs make them easier to learn, use, and teach new users.

Cons

  • Some formatting issues in Word documents can be frustrating, like lining up indents/margins.
  • Pattern recognition features in Excel aren't available in all other Microsoft programs like MS Project which can create a lot of time-consuming repetition.
  • MS Outlook search functions could use an "advanced search" feature to help find that specific email you're looking for.
  • Time savings are evident in an easy to use company wide email platform that allows you to schedule and book meetings.
  • There must be some savings available to purchasers who purchase the 365 Business package for all company computers as they scale up.
  • You can decide if you require a more custom and expensive solution if 365 isn't enough but it's a great starting point.
Procore and Microsoft 365 Business aren't competitors in my opinion and really work hand in hand together more than anything. Procore is more industry specific to construction whereas 365 is much more versatile and widely adopted across all industries. There is no replacement for some basic programs like MS Word or Outlook.
Pages load quickly, Word documents rarely ever crash, Outlook servers have never been down in my experience. Updates are non-intrusive and have never caused me to have to delay using a program. Programs rarely ever freeze to the point of requiring a forced shutdown and they are typically able to recover any progress if it does crash.
Easy to use because this software has been around for quite some time and the adoption among users like myself is high and the programs build on a foundation of other programs or iterations of the same programs i.e. Microsoft Word 99. The programs are basic but essential in that any business requires them.
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.
