A great collaboration service for small organizations
I used this solution to place a knowledge folder on the cloud so that I can access my files for references from anywhere in the world.  Our organization is quite small, we only have roughly 20 to 30 employees using this solution. I would like to continue using this solution, but we are waiting for…

Improves productivity and allows team collaboration in organizations
Previously, my company did not use a unified communication tool. For unified communication, my company started to use Microsoft 365 Business. My company used to use technology like Slack for team collaboration. My company used to use local products to manage emails. My company had a totally different license for Office 365. Microsoft 365 Business was chosen by our company as a solution to combine everything. My company does not use a similar technology, like Microsoft 365 Business. In general, my company improved by moving away from disintegrated technologies, and now we are able to integrate different technologies using Microsoft 365 Business.

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."
"Microsoft 365 Business is stable."
"The platform has a good performance. It helps us in finding emails."
"The features such as meetings connected with Microsoft Teams and the integration is fabulous."
"The packages provided in the solution enable my company's team members to carry out their daily tasks."
"This product is reliable."
"SharePoint and emailing are two technologies that are very widely used by all employees."
"The best thing about the product is the ecosystem of it. As most of our users are using Windows and it's a product of Microsoft, we find we get amazing performance."
"It is easy to use."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The security features and the engine they are using are not good enough. They are not able to protect you from phishing attacks, which is the biggest drawback of this solution. We have been getting phishing emails, and I have been chasing Microsoft every single day. In terms of configuration, all the controls that they have recommended are in place, but we are still getting a lot of phishing emails. I would like to see a feature that allows us to share a folder from an online archive, which is a sort of mailbox attached to the primary mailbox. Currently, you can share folders, contacts, and calendars only in the primary mailbox. You can't share any folder or other things from the online archive. The limit of the primary mailbox is 50 GB, whereas the online archive is unlimited, so it would be useful if we can share a folder from the online archive."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing format could be improved."
"The cost estimation can be difficult."
"It would be better if they seamlessly integrated with Macs. Because I have two laptops, and whenever I open one file in Windows laptop, and then I open the same file in my Macbook, the user interface is not consistent. Certain functions can run on Windows, but another function cannot, but it runs on the Mac."
"The only thing that I don't like about it is the price. Its price should be improved."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams for Mac isn't quite good enough yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The program is inexpensive."
"Given the current COVID situation, I am quite happy that we use this product. With a cheaper solution, we might end up needing support."
"It is basically software as a service. So, you pay for the software subscription. The price is based on the plan you choose. You can also leverage the help of cloud service providers."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Our licensing is annual. We have a Volume Licensing deal with them."
"It has a subscription-based model, so we need to procure as many licenses as required as part of an enterprise agreement. It is a little bit expensive. It is definitely a bit more expensive than other solutions that are on-premises. It is also expensive as compared to the cloud-based solutions from other companies. However, when we look at the ease of use of the product and the adoption by the users, its cost can definitely be considered as comparable to other products. The features that we get in this solution are not available in solutions from its competitors."
"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
