"The product is very flexible.""The stability and reliability are great.""The solution is very flexible and the UI is user-friendly.""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 integration between the applications is the most valuable. I can share things using my phone, computer, and OneDrive. It is very stable and fast. It is also user-friendly and scalable.""The solution is scalable.""The scalability is okay.""It's very user-friendly."

Cons
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item."

"It would be ideal if the solution offered a free version. Currently, there are only paid options available.""The technical support need to improve, I have had bad experiences.""Bandwidth usage is not always the same depending on the network connection.""They should simplify breakout rooms a bit. Breakout rooms are probably the most important factor. They have done some work on breakout rooms, but they probably have to do a bit more to make them simpler.""The solution needs to offer more integration capabilities with other systems and applications.""The backup option should be included in Microsoft 365 Business.""I feel that the user interface can be better when it comes to file sharing.""Technical support could be a bit better. It's an aspect Microsoft could improve upon."

  • "It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
  • "Microsoft 365 Business will be good to have if you have a large organization where you have more than 3000 employees. Other cheaper solutions, like Gmail, are easily available in the market."
