Microsoft Office 365 (Cloud)

Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)

My whole organization uses Office 365 - Office suite, Email, Skype for Business, Power BI and many more apps. We also make use of the PSTN calling plans available from Microsoft which allows us to use Skype for Business as our inbound/outbound calling system.
  • Licensing is easy; you pay by the month for active users.
  • Costs are easy to anticipate and are an operational rather than a capital expense.
  • Office in the cloud offers continual upgrades.
  • Each Office 365 user can access Office 2013 on up to five devices, including smartphones.
  • Ability to easily bundle/integrate other third party services with Office 365.
  • OneDrive for business is tightly integrated with Office 365 and provides generous storage limits, but the sync speed and general use of the product feels slow when comparing to other 3rd party storage suppliers.
  • It would be useful to have the ability to copy and move files between OneDrive and SharePoint in web experiences.
  • Searching for 'Office 365' on a Google search returns millions of results - this can make it difficult to find the center source of information from Microsoft. It would be great if Microsoft had a centralized location where you can access information relating to Office 365.
  • Reduced cost - there's no longer the hassle of installing and managing extremely complex software systems.
  • Improved efficiency and communication.
  • Google and Hosted Exchange
It's a no-brainer - Microsoft Office 365 is at the forefront of cloud-based software and is always improving/releasing brand new features.

Office 365 gives users the ability to work from anywhere as long as they have an internet connection. Because it’s cloud-based, you can access your email, files and Office programs (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) from any location and any device.

Office 365 - Skype for Business instant messaging is an efficient way to connect with one or more contacts in real time and on a moment’s notice. You are able to integrate Microsoft's PSTN calling plans with Skype for Business to give you a fully functional phone system for business. We use it to communicate in our office so I can vouch for its effectiveness.

Document collaboration is a critical element to working effectively as a team. Office 365 co-authoring allows multiple people to make edits to a document at the same time. This avoids ‘Person A’ making changes to a document and then emailing it to ‘Person B’ for their input.
