Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

It is pretty secure. Although it is on the cloud, it has features such as two-factor authentication for making our enterprise data secure. 

Its availability is very valuable. It is always up, and we've never faced a downtime with it until now.

Its price could be better.

I have been using this solution for more than three years.

It is pretty stable.

It is pretty scalable. Currently, we have around 70 users. We plan to keep using this solution and increase its usage in the coming few months. 

Their technical support is good. We never had any challenge with Microsoft support. They have been very prompt when we needed help.

We had an open-source mailbox. We are primarily looking at Exchange, but because we have a small IT team, we wanted something that can be easily managed. We came across Microsoft 365. Because it is on the cloud, it takes away the management headache.

Its setup was pretty fast. You need just one person for its deployment.

It is slightly expensive, but it doesn't have any hidden costs. You know what you're going to spend, and you get a decent ROI on it. 

It has subscription-based licensing. It helps you to figure out the amount of money that you would spend based on how many mailboxes you would require in a year, which makes it better as compared to a mail server for which you need to consider the licensing cost and the maintenance cost.

I would absolutely recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution, and we are going to buy new licenses soon. It has a lot of automatic upgrades, and they keep on coming up with security fixes and interesting features. There were a couple of features that were not available when we bought it, but over a period of time, they have included all those features in it.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business a ten out of ten.

We use the modules for non-specific, everyday tasks including Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and others.

The latest update has got a lot of bugs and it is causing us problems.

The stability should be improved.

We have been using Microsoft 365 Business for between two and three years.

This product should be more stable.

The scalability is okay. We have more than 300 users in the organization.

I don't have any experience with Microsoft's technical support.

Prior to using Microsoft 365 Business, we used an Oracle project.

Our technical team was responsible for deployment. I was not personally involved.

We probably have about three people who are in charge of deployment and maintenance.

We pay regular licensing fees to continue using Microsoft 365 Business.

I don't have a specific answer as to whether I would recommend it to others. It depends on the situation.

At the moment, we plan to continue using it in the future.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We are using this solution for emails on the cloud.

I don't think that there is anything that needs to be greatly improved with this product.

The user interface needs some improvement.

I have been working with Microsoft 365 Business for two years.

We are using the latest version.

Microsoft 365 Business is a stable product.

It's a scalable solution. We have approximately 2500 users in our organization.

We are satisfied with technical support.

Previously, we used Zimbra.

We have not completed the installation outselves. We outsourced it.

We have a full team to maintain this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

We use its email capabilities, calendars, and office productivity applications. We use it on the main platform, and we are using its latest version.

Microsoft Teams is the feature that I am currently leveraging for meetings, conferencing, and search-based functionalities. We've been able to extend some applications to Microsoft Teams.

Its pricing plan should be better.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for approximately three years.

It is stable.

It is scalable and flexible. We have approximately 110 users.

We haven't contacted them yet. We haven't had any technical issues so far.

We started with Office 365. We've always been with Microsoft.

Its installation was easy. It took us a day.

We did it on our own. We had three people for its installation.

It is expensive, and its price can be better.

I would recommend this solution to other users because Microsoft is experienced in the business world. They're more competent in business processes as compared to other vendors, who are more consumer-based rather than business-functionalities-based. We plan to keep using this solution. We trust our future with Microsoft 365.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten. I'm satisfied with this solution.

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.

User access costs need improvement.

Previously, it was on concurrent basis access, but currently, it's on named user access. That's the biggest challenge we have, but we are looking to integrate SharePoint whereby we can have a portal where we can have the non-core users access via Sharepoint. That's what I'm looking to have an update on. So the cost is a bit of an issue. 

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for four years. 

It's a stable solution. We haven't had any problems.

We are good with scalability. We have also not expanded our processes that much to experiment with scalability.

We have a vendor who assists us with the customization. We are looking into upgrading. I've tried to experience the cloud version and it has some also multi functionalities. We are looking into the AI features that we've really liked to input into our processes. We are also looking to upgrade the solution so that we can have the AI functionality. 

We used a third-party for the deployment. They helped us do some customizations. We haven't had any challenges with the setup.

When we look at the roadmap, we see they are moving with the current trends in technology. So you won't have a solution whereby there are no upgrades from its functionalities. Microsoft is well established on the foothold and the business processes. They understand the key business processes that are required to be supported by an ERP. I would recommend it to another client.

I would rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten. 

We use this solution for our office administration purposes, emailing, and document sharing.

The most valuable features are that it is quite robust and is a collaborative model. For example, if I have opened a file in Word or Excel, every member of the organization who is logged in with their accounts at that same time can collaborate on the same document. We don't have to create multiple copies.

I like auto-server mode and the fact that you can unify them under one platform.

The fact that they are able to save directly to cloud storage and collaborate is something that is helpful.

The pricing can be reduced.

I don't like the number of email notifications that are sent, it's too often. I receive emails every day. It would be better to have weekly updates with one summary or have the summary every fortnight.

I would like to be able to connect Power BI to data sources easily. The Enterprise level comes with gateway connectivity, and that comes with many permissions. I understand that they are concerned about security, but they don't make it easy to automatically link your Power BI workflow to your apps such as Excel, PowerPoint, data sources, Access, and to your Microsoft flow at an enterprise-level deployment. It would be good to have a back-to-back connection between applications.

I have been using this solution for two years.

We are using the 365 Enterprise, which is the lastest one.

This solution is quite stable.

This is a scalable solution.

We are a small organization aiming to grow. We have three core users and adding another one at the end of this month.

The technical support is very good. When I first signed up, I received a call and they spent close to an hour going over everything, step by step. They were quite helpful and very patient with me during that process. He went beyond his real competency by assisting me. This experience helped me appreciate Microsoft packages and services.

I have always used Microsoft. I have set up the normal Microsoft Office versions that you can install, such as 2013, and 2016.

Primarily I use two systems, Windows and Linux, but for office administration purposes, Office is the leading solution provider. Linux is mostly for deep development and server setups.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I had some challenges because I have approximately seven different applications on my computer that are directly related and connected to the cloud. It took me 30 minutes to deploy.

There are many apps on the cloud for 365, but on your device, you are limited to anywhere from nine to eleven.

The price just keeps going up and it never comes down, but the service that you receive with the support is worth it.

It works out to be $12.50 per user per month. For us, it will cost approximately $50.00 for four users per month. This doesn't include the cost for other licensing on other app subscriptions.

We have a setup file that we are running on our systems but most of the functionalities and features are from the cloud.

I would recommend this solution. The challenges with technologies are very dynamic. It changes daily based on the requirements and the scope.

If we look at the world right now, we are moving towards digital platforms at our premises due to the non-contact, issues of working from home, being able to pay people, and needing to have meetings.

Proof of concept is okay when you are trying to purchase or have a trial to purchase. You start the first month on a free platform. It is nice because the first month is free.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is to design our product in Azure on the Cloud.

Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use, everything is clear, it has good support, and it integrates well with other solutions.

Everything is easy with Microsoft.

Security could be improved. 

The user interface is good, I don't have any issues with it but everything could always be better.

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business for approximately four years.

This product is very stable.

The scalability of this product is good. We have 150 users.

I am very satisfied with technical support, and if we have any problems then we open a case. You will have direct assistance from technical support.

Access is available directly in a portal to open a key, or we can contact directly via telephone and we can track the numbers.

For me, the initial setup was easy.

We have a team of 12 to maintain this solution, and level one and two security in our networking.

I would recommend Microsoft 365 Business to others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for mobile device management, among other things. We use the Suite, Sharepoint and Microsoft Exchange. We use Mircosoft for everything.

We use Sharepoint a lot. It's excellent. 

The fact that it's on the cloud is helpful. It gives us great access.

We use the databases within Microsoft to run our applications, and it's excellent for that.

It's great that one user can log onto many different devices.

The licensing could be a lot easier. Right now it's complicated. The process has changed in that the user-mode of licensing is not very easy to manage.

The solution's ability to scale could be improved.

I've been using the solution for three years now.

The solution is relatively stable. We haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. The solution doesn't seem to crash or freeze. It's been good to us so far.

We have about 250 users on the solution right now.

The scalability is limited on the solution. It requires a bit of administration. For example, when the solution reaches a certain number of the records, you have to delete a number of them so that you can continue to use it. There should be more capacity.

I've been in touch with technical support in the past, however, not directly. We do it through a partner. I wouldn't be able to speak to the quality of their service as it's always been handled through a third party.

We did use a different solution, however, we were in the market for something new in 2016, and that's when we made the switch. Microsoft came and did a pretty good sales pitch. They sold us on their product. We clearly saw the cost-benefit of the product and we switched over.

The solution is pretty straightforward. We actually had a lot of assistance from Microsoft to implement the product. They assisted us and were instrumental in guiding us through the process.

The deployment took about one week or so.

There isn't too much maintenance required for the solution once it's set up. It's done in collaboration with a few outside entities. We have people in the company who are familiar with programming and all that who handle most of the maintenance, and then we have vendors who also come in as necessary. Microsoft helps too.

Microsoft ended up assisting us directly with the initial implementation. We had some help with integrators.

The cost the impact is low for us due to the fact that we now pay annually instead of having the same license. We've saved a bit of money, switching over to Microsoft.

I'm not sure of the exact pricing, as my colleague handled the payments.

However, I do know the licensing process is a bit complex and could be simplified.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

We're working on the latest version of the solution. We get the latest version each time it comes out.

Overall, I'd recommend the solution. It's been very good to us so far and we like the way it functions.

I'd rate it eight out of ten.
