Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

asc at a educational organization with 51-200 employees

Interconnectedness of tools boosts workflow efficiency but can improve on speed for larger files

One of the best features of Microsoft 365 Business is the interconnectivity; if I'm making a chart in Excel, I can paste it as a link on a PowerPoint. If there are any changes in the Excel data, when I update the link, that automatically gets changed in the PowerPoint. The interconnectedness with Excel and PowerPoint is a good feature. Using Teams helps our team's productivity because rather than having to make a proper chart again, if I am reviewing someone else's work and I find a mistake, I'll just do it in Excel and it automatically gets updated in the PPT. In Microsoft Teams, we can communicate with other team members by pinging them. We don't need to call and say what needs to be done. We can just share a screenshot, and we can share our files as well. Microsoft 365 Business has positively impacted our business because it's not a choice; it's something we need to comply with. It has become an industry standard, and the client always expects us to work with this kind of tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."

"It's simple and easy to use."

"The storage portion of the solution is very good. It has a very large capacity."

"Microsoft 365 Business is a really good product. Microsoft provides many solutions like Microsoft Teams, which is useful for Team utilization across the globe, especially in this COVID 19 kind of scenario. If you enable the enhanced security in Microsoft Teams by using the given options, you can eliminate the third-party solutions like WhatsApp, Telegram. You can easily share your communication, which is much better. You can also collaborate. For example, instead of creating an Excel sheet on your local PC and sending it across to someone over email, you can just share it. SharePoint is one of the best tools to be implemented."

"The most valuable features are that it is quite robust and is a collaborative model."

"Microsoft Teams is the feature that I am currently leveraging for meetings, conferencing, and search-based functionalities. We've been able to extend some applications to Microsoft Teams."

"We like anything that enables collaboration. Working on documents in parallel meetings, and online meetings."

"I consider the installation to have been very easy."

"It's great that many people can collaborate together at the same time."

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"There are some security issues with the platform, and its security should be improved. We have to re-enter the username and password sometimes, which is quite boring for us. The usability of Outlook can be improved. Currently, it is a little bit limited and old-fashioned. They should think about the concept of dealing with emails in Teams. Teams and Outlook together will make it a complete platform. The Teams application is not user-friendly on mobile phones and should be improved."

"The solution could improve the user interface a little bit to make it easier to navigate."

"It can be heavy and it sometimes takes time to access the application."

"Sometimes it is quite hard to get a grasp on what features are going to be available at what time. For instance, we had to wait for a very long time on the breakout rules in Teams. There is a roadmap and there are also some blog posts, but you never know when you're going to get it. So it would be preferable to get it more in advance."

"As an example, there isn't a clean transfer to a Google Doc outside of hosting it as a .docx file."

"I'd like to see a more customizable interface. We're used to seeing Office 365 with a white background and black foreground, and I'm aware that you can customize 365 to change it to a black background. but I want more options aside from the standard settings."

"Upgrading from the old version to the new version of Microsoft Teams created a lot of issues for small companies and larger enterprises."

"I would like to see more security features included."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"In general, the product offers different licenses at different prices based on which users have to determine the features they want in the product. My company has P1 and P2 licenses from Microsoft."

"Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."

"We pay a monthly licensing fee for Microsoft 365 Business."

"The price is high."

"I think that the price is fair."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Microsoft 365 Business is expensive."

"The price is fine."
