Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
We are currently using Microsoft 365 across our enterprise. It addresses the issue of having OEM/Retail/Volume versions across the organization. Additionally, it allows us to better manage licensing, deployments and access to products that were previously more difficult for us to deploy and manage.
- Portal management of products and licensing.
- Uniform platform to deploy products.
- Easy to use and intuitive portal.
- Access to support is clumsy and tedius.
- When assigning access to products, you need to be aware of what is checked. Assumptions are made for you and they aren't always right.
- Data privacy & security threat concerns, especially if you do business with the government. you'll have to consider being in the FedRamp space.
- Central management of resources
- Ease of deployments and updates
- Cost effectiveness
- Scalability (able to add a product easily)
- Positive impact is ease of access and deployment.
- Positive impact is cost per seat.
- Negative impact was we had to migrate to a separate platform due to doing business with government.
We didn't consider any other products as we were already using MS Office 2013, 2016, etc. across our organization.
