Price and reliability need improvement while general tasks are streamlined
The pricing for Microsoft 365 is too high, and quality-wise, it does not meet high standards. The operating system is outdated and inadequate. Microsoft has very poor security, and Defender is ineffective. In terms of collaboration and file sharing, OneDrive is very clunky and has frequent sync issues. It also crashes a lot and is unreliable.

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

"We are satisfied with the technical support, there are no issues."
"Its interface looks clean, and its performance seems quite fast. It is faster than our previous app."
"Overall, I have found it to be a good, reliable product."
"I definitely like the user interface."
"The product is very fast and convenient to use."
"It works as expected."
"It's great that one user can log onto many different devices."
"It's flexible and easy to use."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."
"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
 

Cons

"The solution has a lot of areas to be improved. The tool needs to improve its background synchronization of data between the platforms. It can facilitate better decision-making and analysis of data. The tool should also make improvements to responsive mechanisms which can eliminate any bottlenecks."
"At least a basic collaboration tool or project management tool should be included in the solution for the price we pay."
"My main pain point concerns the licensing price, which could be lower."
"If Microsoft could do something about data loss prevention, that would be ideal."
"The technical support process could be a bit more secure. The information should stay within the ticketing system itself and not be passed via email."
"365 Business' workflow should be better integrated into our current ERP systems. We are running two different ERP systems that are integrated, so it would make sense in the future to have those systems integrated into a content management workflow system."
"Google Docs and Google Sheets are much more flexible than Microsoft 365 Business software. Additionally, I have found one of the biggest issues with any of the Microsoft management platforms is they are tremendously unintuitive. However, you get used to it, you accept it, and you work away on it."
"Microsoft Teams for Mac isn't quite good enough yet."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are available for a fair price."
"The cost of the subscription is fair."
"Its cost is fine because I have a lot of devices in my account."
"The monthly license of the solution is quite expensive."
"The organization is responsible for the license."
"The price in general could be cheaper."
"It is not so expensive."
"I have no issues with the pricing and licensing is on a yearly basis."
