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.

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"It is flexible."
"I'm satisfied with how they handle data, and the people there are very friendly."
"I don't have any issues with Microsoft 365 Business, it's a good tool."
"The security provided by the solution is valuable."
"Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use and user-friendly."

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."
 

Cons

"It should have better pricing. It is a monopoly product for Microsoft, and I don't think they will change the pricing. They do not offer any discount."
"Price is an area for improvement, as spending less money would always be preferable."
"Business 365 could potentially affect compliance with local and industry-specific regulations."
"It could be more secure, but we have not really had issues with it in terms of its security."
"It would be ideal if there were fewer features. I'd like it better if it had a watered-down version where you didn't have to have all of this extra stuff included."
"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."
"Most Microsoft applications are not the most user-friendly."
"One of the only aspects that I do not like about Microsoft is that they release solutions into the market without testing them and rely on users to test them."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is what you would expect today from a software-as-a-service offering. It is somewhere around $10 per user per month."
"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."
"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price could be cheaper. We have a yearly license."
"Pricing can always be improved."
