"With Power BI and Power Applications you can do a lot of our automation within IT. It makes everything much quicker."
"Channel access is the most valuable feature. I can access it via any machine. I can access it via Android application, via my browser, or via the Windows application. That is one reason I like it. The multi-functionality is another valuable feature. It has quite a lot of functionalities that enable us as a business to run."
"Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The solution has a lot of great useful features for communication."
"It is easy to use. Because it is cloud-based, in terms of the user, you are not really affected in terms of performance when you are out of sight."

"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"It would be better if they offered more integrations to integrate with other platforms. It should also allow the content to be accessed over the LTI."
"The platform’s GUI could be more simple to understand."
"In a future release, I would like to see what more Microsoft can do in terms of integration with other solutions."
"Microsoft Teams, which is a video conferencing, chat, and collaboration tool, has some issues with video codecs. It has really bad performance, especially on the Mac OS, and requires a lot of improvements. I'm using MacBook Pro, and the performance of Microsoft Teams is disastrous. It is really unusable. Given our subscription, we get Microsoft Teams for free, but we are often opting to use Zoom or some other tool because the entire computer becomes almost unusable. New age applications should be written in a way that ensures similar performance across different operating systems. I'm not sure how it works on Windows. I assume it works better, but Microsoft needs to ensure that the performance is really good. It should provide the same kind of user experience across different platforms. They can use more efficient development tools when it comes to applications. They seem to be using a technology that uses a lot of resources on our personal computers. I know that Microsoft is pushing a lot of applications to be built in the Office 365 ecosystem, but Microsoft Teams should be a focus because it is a collaboration tool. Its performance and usability need to be better, especially in the times of COVID-19. As a part of management, I use the collaboration tools and video conferencing tools for approximately five or six hours a day. Such issues have a big business impact because the management makes decisions about the tools that are going to be used within the company. SharePoint could somehow be improved or changed to match the features of Confluence from Atlassian. There is an opportunity to do some improvements there."
"It would help, if, in the beginning, there was an onboarding process to show how to set it up properly or how to set up the things properly, or how to have the support they need or the guidance on how they should deploy it. In some cases, there are things that are not so crystal clear."
"The solution could improve by allowing more integration."
"I have used the normal Excel Microsoft 365 worksheets. When it goes to macro running then 365 is not that user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration options."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
"Make it more intuitive."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
