Microsoft 365 Business Reviews

I  use it for Microsoft Excel, which helps with data analysis. It integrates Power BI, allowing us to perform various slicing and dicing of data.

Mostly, I have only used Microsoft 365 Business for emails and PowerPoints as of now.

The solution includes most of the things we need. We can use it to integrate other source systems as well, like Power BI.

It's helpful to even use it to build queries, like Microsoft queries. We can write SQL queries by joining two tables present in Excel itself. So, it's like having two tables in separate sheets, and we can build a query using a common column as a join condition. We can see the key dataset with common columns using the join condition. 

Moreover, we can also perform outer joins, making Microsoft 365 Business ideal for data analysis as well.

In future releases, I would like to see more integration options. 

I've been using it for the past around one year. We currently use the latest version.

It is a scalable solution. There are over 10,000 end-users in our organization. It is extensively used in our organization. We do have plans to increase the usage.

For example, I primarily use Excel in Microsoft 365 Business. So, we have options like Excel options; we have add-ins. So under the data tab, we have a data streamer, and we also have Microsoft Power Query for Excel. So using these, we can include the data-related menu bar in Excel software.

The setup is straightforward. We have Excel, and we can use it as it is. It might need an add-in to be included.

We need maintenance primarily for data analysis. We use it to analyze the data, especially when we have a large dataset that we want to segregate and analyze specifically for a particular functionality. In such cases, we can use Excel for slicing and dicing the data. It allows us to focus on a specific chunk of data to make informed decisions.

The deployment was done by our in-house team. It's a direct tool like Microsoft Excel, but there is an add-in that can be used to integrate with other source systems. It may extend the functionality.

We don't have a separate deployment process. Excel is a file that we have as part of Microsoft Office. It's a direct use, but we might need to include an add-in to display or the data-related menu in the Excel menu bar.

There would be licensing costs because Microsoft 365 Business requires a product key and a license to be present in order to use its products, including Excel and other supportive products.

I would suggest you to start using Excel as a basic step because Excel has its own formulas and functions. They can begin with lookups in Excel and then subsequently move ahead with building queries. 

If a person has only Excel to work with, they can start with that. But they would need to have Microsoft 365 Business to proceed further with other features.

Based on the Excel work that I have done using Excel, which is a part of Microsoft 365. So, for Excel, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Therefore, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the product as it was selected by our client for their environment. You can implement organizational compliance policies and make your devices secure. Companies can keep track of devices and users over the internet itself. The product is cloud-based. Therefore, you do not need a dedicated IT system and hardware.

I am impressed with the MDM feature.

The solution has a lot of areas to be improved. The tool needs to improve its background synchronization of data between the platforms. It can facilitate better decision-making and analysis of data. The tool should also make improvements to responsive mechanisms which can eliminate any bottlenecks.

I have been working with the solution for four to five years.

The solution is stable.

If you use the user portal, then you need to have some credits. On the other hand, if you have a license, then support is free. The support responds on time.

Neutral

The solution’s deployment takes two to three months to complete.

We have seen ROI with the tool’s use. The solution removes the burden of decision-making of compliance policy management.

The tool’s licensing and pricing are interconnected. There are different levels of licensing.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution does not require any maintenance from our end since it is deployed over the cloud. Before choosing this solution, you need to get the gist of it. If you do so, then it will not take long for you to onboard.

We use a lot of the applications that come with Microsoft 365 Business, such as Sharepoint, Teams, and Outlook.

Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use. Most companies use Microsoft Windows as an operating system making the use of this solution straightforward. There is a small learning curve and it is something everyone can adapt to easily.

I would recommend this solution to others and we plan to continue using it in the future.

I have found Microsoft 365 Business to be stable.

Microsoft 365 Business is scalable.

We have approximately 6,000 using the solution in my organization.

The technical support is very responsive and they have different levels of support. However, the response time depends on the license that has been purchased.

When I joined this organization they had already installed Microsoft 365 Business, but the project took approximately six months. I have now onboarded the solution across the organization. Microsoft 365 Business is on the cloud making the installation straightforward. The deployment does not take a long time, you have to take time to migrate all of the users which was done in a phased approach. It took about six months to migrate everyone.

We have a team of five administrators that do the maintenance of the solution.

The price of the license for Microsoft 365 Business can be expensive for smaller businesses and should be adjusted. The overall pricing model can be improved upon.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft 365 Business for documentation, Teams, OneDrive, and Exchange Online.

Microsoft 365 Business applications are very used to use and have a good interface.

Microsoft 365 Business is easy to implement. It takes approximately one hour to complete.

For the deployment and maintenance of the solution, we have a team of three or four technicians and one manager.

The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive. We recommend customers purchase annual subscriptions because they receive a discount of two free months.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft 365 Business a nine out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for the Microsoft Office Suite and Outlook.

I used to use 365 when I was at IBM, and, at later stages in my career, at other companies. I used to have my own license at home. Now, I have my own consulting firm. Recently, I got a laptop. I felt that transferring all the information from one laptop to the other was a painful experience. I got 365, as it is in the cloud, and due to that, I can just download my user information and I'm ready to go. 

The solution is stable. 

I like that it is easy to transfer to different devices, such as a different laptop. Everything is cloud-based, which I appreciate.

While I like the fact that Microsoft is constantly updating its services, I also like the fact that Excel is pretty much the same since I started using it on Day One. 

Coming from larger companies, if you had 365 questions for Microsoft, it was hard to get a hold of them. The one way I could get answers was by talking to a friend, or one who has used 365 as well. Microsoft has no time for the little guy. I can Google to look for answers, however, you run the risk of getting answers that are baseless. It would be easier to use if you could get better help if you need it. 

Most Microsoft applications are not the most user-friendly.

I've used the product for a while. I've always used Microsoft for the most part.

The stability has been fine for the most part.

As an individual user, getting a hold of technical support can be difficult. Once, I actually found a number and I waited for an hour and a half. The guy who helped me, I can't thank him enough. He went beyond. I was extremely happy about the assistance. That said, typically, it's hard to get help.

I've used G Suite before as well. However, I'm a Microsoft guy. I'm 65, so I've used Microsoft all my life. G Suite is extremely good, however, as I see it, I'm not comfortable with it. I see the younger people getting faster with it. 

The cost of the solution is approximately $120 a year.

I'm an end-user of the solution. We mostly work with IBM, which is a bigger part of our offering.

While there's a way to use it on an enterprise level, I can only speak to individual usage. I personally like the fact that it's on the cloud and it's easy to access my documents from anywhere. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. For the most part, the solution has been great.

It is easy to use.

Data protection needs to be improved.

The solution is stable.

The solution is easy to expand to accommodate multiple users. 

We have an internal tech support team that helps us with issues that arise.
