"The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good."
"Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive."
"The product helps us be more efficient. It helps us to have a standardized way of doing things."
"I love all of the applications being interlinked. I do not have to separately work on an independent system when it comes to file storage, email, and other tools."
"Reliable without any glitches."
"If you have a global solution, you can go from one product to the other very easily. And then you can share data between all the different tools of Office which is good because participation and sharing is very good. That's the most important aspect of Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices."
"The most valuable feature for me was the different channels."
"The product gives the best user experience."
"The most valuable feature is that we can easily integrate different workloads and the alerts are reliable. Also because it allows us to use it as a monitoring tool sometimes."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"Slack is a powerpack bundle of features that help small or large organizations to handle teams and their tasks."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"It has definitively made an improvement on our productivity. Information does not got lost in hundreds of less important messages."
"Nowadays, we don't need to visit an HR portal. Our marketing and human resources teams directly share details about birthdays, upcoming events, and important dates in Slack. Whether it's a training event, a company-wide gathering, or a social event, all the information is shared there. This keeps us all updated."
"Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution."
"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"A need that a company like ours has is that we want to be able to have data flow into one tool, for example, for all the management of tasks through the company and workflow of who is doing what and so on. There are no real solutions for this at the moment in Office 365. It would be nice if they could implement this in the next release, so we can have one solution from one company giving us the whole data and flow of data into the company."
"The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot."
"I rate the support of Office 365 a four out of five."
"Security is still complex, but the admin console improving."
"Integration with other platforms can be improved."
"Sometimes there are login issues."
"The tool has stability issues that need to be improved. We are not native English speakers and Slack needs to integrate grammar checks."
"The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications."
"When someone responds to my message in Slack, a new window opens. There should be an option to roll down the answers."
"I would like to be able to do live streaming on Slack. Slack allows Slack huddle where you can do a group call, but it is not very well-designed. I'm not sure if it is going very well, but live streaming is one thing that I would definitely love to see. When you use Zoom, I like how you can run webinars. If we could do that through Slack, it would become an all-integrated platform. I would also like to be able to schedule meetings using Slack, similar to Zoom."
"We could see improvement in Slack by having an integrated meeting tool. Currently, we rely on third-party integration tools like Zoom to schedule meetings. It would be much more convenient to schedule meetings directly within Slack without additional integrations. It needs to have calendar and CRM integrations as well."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
"When scaled on a large scale, the solution's cost becomes a matter of concern for organizations."
