Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 Business

It is our primary means of communication and coordination in our school.
  • Very nice that it's accessible from any browser on any laptop or PC.
  • GREAT for coordinating calendars and schedules!
  • Also great for document, spreadsheet and presentation collaboration!
  • It's often very hard to find the functions - most often have to use search (which is very good by the way).
  • Microsoft products in general - changes are often too drastic and things are moved around too much.
  • Also on new versions - please leave 'basic' functionality the same and have 'additional/new' functionality maybe be a separate function or menu.
  • I have to say that I can't identify specific ROI from MS 365 for our school.
I didn't do the selection. We most likely would have gone with Google products as it's more geared toward education.
I haven't experienced any problems with its performance.
Again - it's great for businesses, not so much for education.
Great for corporations! Not so great for schools because it takes too many steps to accomplish things - many school employees are not exposed to as much tech as those in other businesses. The menus and steps can be overwhelming to them. Perhaps have a simplified version - or one that is specifically designed with collaboration from educators?
