Microsoft Office 365 (Cloud)

Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 365

Documentation, presentation & email.

Pros

  • Word processing.
  • Good spreadsheets.
  • Presentations.

Cons

  • Errors that occur take a Ph.D. and hours upon hours to resolve.
  • Inconsistency in how certain functions operate, MS doesn't follow its own application design guides.
  • When things break, it's almost impossible to resolve. for example, for two years, the search function in Outlook has not worked. We've spent at least 40 hours researching the problem, which is very common but have been unable to resolve it. Even when working with support, the problem comes back, so it's been a waste of time to try to do anything about it.
  • ROI is impossible to establish.
  • In today's world, a company can't run without these functions.
  • Sadly, we're all used to the way office works, so moving to open docs or google docs isn't practical, Office is just a necessary evil.
MS Office doesn't let me put in Google Docs or open docs, so those are the other alternative we know about.
Microsoft's support is horrible. Yeah, they can come in and remotely correct a problem, but it just comes back. It's a fatal flaw in the way that Microsoft develops and architects and develops bloated, overly complex products and the underlying flaws that make Windows insecure and buggy.
