Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."As an email provider, I believe Office 365 is the best email provider."
"Quarantine email alerts to users to allow the email to their inbox (tricky but handy) - tricky if one doesn't have third-party email security, handy if one has got good third party email security)."
"The product helps us be more efficient. It helps us to have a standardized way of doing things."
"The integration with other applications is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with OneDrive, which has allowed us, a small business, easy access to a cloud environment, with no need to back up the data from five different computers."
"The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"The most valuable feature is Microsoft Exchange."
"It has more features than somebody would expect, and it is worth taking a deeper look into the features available."
"A full-featured collaboration tool that is as easy to use as Facebook."
"The solution is used as a knowledge platform for sharing knowledge and information that everybody can easily access."
"Storage is the best thing about the solution."
"The product was easy to use."
"I would like to see the macro functionality in Excel made simpler."
"Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow."
"I started working a lot on Microsoft Teams and I find it a bit vast. It should be divided out a bit so that someone can use it for basic functionality, like audio, video, and calls. Then, if someone wants more advanced functionality for file sharing and team creation, and so on, they could use a separate app."
"The online applications have limited functionality compared to the local applications."
"I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"Security is still complex, but the admin console improving."
"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 conferencing feature does not work well with multiple parties or locations."
"The product should allow users to assign tasks and automate processes."
"The implementation could be made easier."
"There needs to be a restriction on who can download content."
