Microsoft Office 365 (Cloud)

Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 365

Microsoft Office 365 was sold to our company as a needed tool prior to me being hired. The sales reps at Godaddy/365 said in order to edit an Excel or Word document on a mobile device, they had to buy 8 licenses of Microsoft 365 - [functionality] which was offered for free by Google. This was a waste of money, dishonest, and a far inferior product to Google Docs and Google Sheets. The online version of Office 365 was too limited.
  • Fast
  • Reliable
  • Universally compatible
  • The online version too limited in features and glitchy.
  • Google Docs offered more features for free.
  • The online and desktop versions didn't work seamlessly at all.
  • Created a lot of confusion among nontech employees.
  • Too expensive for a small business' bottom line.
Google Docs and Sheets had more online functionality and storage for free.
Not worth the price for small businesses because Google offers a better product for free. You might have to add some extensions to Google Docs to get all the features you want, but again, it's all free. Google Docs is only online so you don't have to wait for 365 to sync the online and desktop versions or deal with 365's freezing problems.
