It's a stable product.
It's quite a flexible solution.
We've found the solution to be easy to use, even for those who don't necessarily always use Microsoft products.
The installation process is very straightforward.
What needs improvement?
So far, everything has been very good in terms of usage. I can't think of an area where it could be improved. It's not missing any features at all. It's quite a complete solution.
It would be nice if we had the option to open a document even if it was created with another application. For example, we use both Google Docs and Microsoft Docs. When we send documents, we need to be aware of what application the person receiving the document will be using. If I know someone is using Microsft, I'll send the document to them in Microsoft. However, it would be nice if I could send them a Google Doc and they would still be able to open and access it in Microsoft.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about four years at this point. It's been a while.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It was pretty straightforward and very easy.
I cannot recall how long it took to actually deeply the solution. It might have been only a few hours or so.
What other advice do I have?

ICT Manager at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A user-friendly business solution that is stable and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "It could be more secure, but we have not really had issues with it in terms of its security."
What is our primary use case?
We are only using it for emails.
What is most valuable?
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. You are not your own desk here, so you are not really affected by the issues of speed or because you are out of the premises. It becomes very easy to use. If you have been using Microsoft services, it becomes easier to move with this product. I find it straightforward.
What needs improvement?
It could be more secure, but we have not really had issues with it in terms of its security.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Microsoft 365 Business is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.

What other advice do I have?
I think it is a very good product and would recommend new users to try it.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft 365 Busines a nine.
