You don't need to worry about data security or loss of data
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very good to use directly and it is a safe tool. You don't need to worry about data security or the loss of data."
  • "Tech support is not that feasible. The Microsoft team is not easily accessible."

What is our primary use case?

We are using it quite a lot—somewhere around maybe 2,000 users. We use it in our company for cloud-based document solutions, like Outlook and Sharepoint. 

What is most valuable?

It is very good to use directly and it is a safe tool. You don't need to worry about data security or the loss of data.

What needs improvement?

It is secure, they could always add more security. People worry about storing confidential documents or sensitive company documents in the cloud. But scenarios are changing now. Companies are gaining more trust on that level.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for five or six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It all depends on the internet connection. That is the major thing. If the internet connection is good, then it is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If the internet is stable, then it's fine.

How are customer service and technical support?

Tech support is not that feasible. The Microsoft team is not easily accessible. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is straightforward. Sometimes, you will get online instances of 365 that cost you because they are running on the cloud in some other area and you only have a license to one. It will get ahold of your license and then take it as the prescribed license.

What about the implementation team?

One of our engineers will be the point person for implementing that. Then small client installation is handed over to the local guy who is over there on the premises.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We will hand over the portal to these people and they will manage the licensing. We are not involved much on that end. There are some partners for us that we used to buy and we used to order from there. Our sales team handles that.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
