Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.

Collaborating securely across project teams has improved communication and streamlined workflows
In my view, Microsoft 365 Business has all the features, but there are some areas for improvement. One area is that the licensing structure can be confusing, especially with the different plans, so understanding each plan is somewhat difficult. When using large Excel files, such as extracting data from an SQL query and pasting it into Excel, it sometimes encounters performance issues when dealing with large files. Integration with non-Microsoft tools is sometimes limited; however, integration within the Microsoft tools is very good. It would be useful if it were possible to integrate with other tools outside of Microsoft. Managing permissions and access in SharePoint and Teams can be complex for new users, but once they become familiar with the tool, they can manage it easily. The security and permissions for new users in SharePoint and Teams can be made more intuitive for them. Additionally, the pricing structure, which involves explaining different plans, could be clearer to help users easily choose the plan they need. Improving performance when working on large Excel files would also be beneficial.

"The best feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"Microsoft 365 Business is a really good product, and Microsoft provides many solutions like Microsoft Teams, which is useful for team utilization across the globe, especially in this COVID-19 kind of scenario."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is on the cloud and we can access it from there, which allows us access from anywhere."
"The features such as meetings connected with Microsoft Teams and the integration is fabulous."
"I like the user interface. It's pretty good. Data security is also there, and it gives you more storage space. It supports iOS and Android, which is good."
"The most valuable features are for content collaboration and content management."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
 

Cons

"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"The Teams product in itself needs to be improved. It's not as robust as other communication tools, such as Zoom."
"The diagnostics is an issue that needs to be addressed, as it cannot be seen when needed."
"The licensing price could be better."
"Its price could be better for companies that are not using it massively."
"The solution is overall stable. However, while using Teams there can be some performance issues during meetings."
"Microsoft Teams for Mac isn't quite good enough yet. Until they find a way of allowing you to send your compute audio during a Teams meeting it is useless as a presentation training tool."
"There should be less power consumption of the PC resources while using this solution. We have professional systems and Teams can run slow at times. We also need to restart Teams in the middle of the meetings sometimes, this could improve in a future release."
"The price in general could be cheaper. Being overpriced is what is to be expected from Microsoft."
