Office 365 Reviews

Our main use case for Office 365 is its use for emails and Teams meetings. We have integrated our Active Directory, specifically through Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).

The most valuable features of Office 365 for our team include email and Teams. We use calendaring, which plays an essential role in our productivity. Additionally, Microsoft Intune is a part of our usage, albeit it's not directly linked to Office 365. Another beneficial aspect is the integration of selectively using Copilot with Office 365.

I would suggest the inclusion of a data insights feature. In the past, there was a digest that provided insights into time distribution in emails and company mail, such as whom I communicate with most. There should be more relevant insights on the collaboration platform. It would be helpful to have an archive or a dashboard showing how much time is spent on collaborations or meetings.

I have been working with Office 365 for more than five years.

We have not faced any significant downtime. There was an outage about three years ago, but it was resolved quickly and was widely reported. Overall, Office 365 is pretty stable.

Office 365 is very scalable for our company. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability.

I have used Gmail in a previous company, but now I am used to Microsoft tools and prefer them.

I was not part of the initial setup process, but the onboarding and engagement process for new recruits has been smooth.

Pricing is determined by our company's policy to align with Microsoft. Compared to other solutions, it may be perceived as expensive, though the decision was made at a corporate level.

I have used Google tools before, specifically Gmail, in another company.

Office 365 is a reliable and feature-rich platform. To fully benefit from it, users need to explore its various tools, which enhance productivity. It would be helpful to have a popup or widget providing training tips or news about features, like what used to appear for Windows products. I would rate the overall solution an 8 out of 10.

I use Microsoft 365 for the office package and Teams for calls and meetings. With Microsoft 365, I use applications like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

The most helpful feature I find in Microsoft 365 is the use of AI features, like Copilot, which allows for creating PowerPoint presentations through AI. It can increase efficiency, for instance, by enabling automated summaries in Word documents for different roles. This provides significant time savings and boosts productivity overall.

There could be an easier way to find features in Excel. For example, implementing formulas could be made simpler by improving feature discoverability.

I have been using Microsoft 365 for three years.

Sometimes with Excel, if different Excel files are related and access to one is unavailable, the Excel file in use may collapse. This means some data cannot be seen, which is a stability issue.

I have never contacted Microsoft's support because my company's IT team handles any issues I face.

I only work with Microsoft tools.

I find Microsoft 365 to be cost-effective, and it offers good value for the price paid.

I would rate Microsoft 365 a seven out of ten. I would rate Office 365 a seven out of ten.

On-premises

I utilize the product in multiple ways. I am using SharePoint, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Office 365 is reliable and enhances productivity by allowing my team to use the same documents with multiple versions. The Outlook calendar simplifies meetings, and Teams improves communication. The uniqueness of working on the same file together is valuable as it prevents missing any information, and encryption and multi-factor authentication are crucial for security.

The language feature in Copilot for Arabic specifically needs more machine learning enhancement, and the tables in Microsoft Word need to be more flexible, similar to those in Microsoft Excel.

I have been using Office 365 for about two to three years.

We use Intune to have control over all our Windows units, to enroll packages, update software, and manage all Windows platforms in Denmark and Norway.

I use Outlook, Excel, and Word as the primary tools within Office 365. I have used automation and flow to enable a few simple tasks to learn how it works, but I have not enabled them at a high level yet. I am also experimenting with CoPilot in collaboration with AI solutions like ChatGPT.

It is difficult for me to access actual experts quickly as Microsoft support is slow.

I have been using the Mobile Control platform from Soti since 2016.

Microsoft's technical support is slow when addressing issues directly.

Positive

Before using Soti, I was not working with any other Enterprise Mobility Management tools.

I was initially using Soti based on a perpetual license, but now I must move to a cloud solution due to changes in the licensing model. Pricing for Intune as an MDM solution is over budget.

I am considering 42Gears as a potential option because our local vendor, who understands our business well, has it available on their shelf.

I rate Office 365 a nine out of ten. It is comprehensive with its functionalities, and I am not currently missing anything. I do intend to integrate its automation features at a higher level when possible. Overall, I would give Office 365 a nine out of ten.

I primarily use Office 365 to develop user guides, prototypes, and set up documents.

Office 365 fulfills our basic requirements for developing documents and basic forms. It provides a lot of facilities and options, which are very helpful. I use it for document creation which saves a lot of time compared to other document creation tools.

I would like to see improvements in the Excel forms. The backend I wrote in Visual Basic could be improved.

On-premises

Office 365 is used for business. We open accounts for startups and existing businesses, we primarily use Office 365 as an email platform. This is essentially what we're doing with Office 365.

As an email provider, I believe Office 365 is the best email provider.

They are very good at what they do. That is why Office 365 has more than 4 billion users. Based on the market, I believe that is one of the best solutions.

Based on my experience and the tasks that I handle, for my customers, I didn't notice that there is any need for improvement.

It would be a fantastic opportunity if their solution could be used in combination with VoIP software, allowing you to combine VoIP software and Office 365 on a single platform.

I have been working with Office 365 for three years.

To be honest, in the past I used G Suite and other email providers that, use an IMAP or POP3 protocol. However, my customers were always complaining about poor email deliverability. They may occasionally send spam emails, but with Office 365, I don't have to deal with such issues. As a result, they're very good at what they do. As I previously stated, I strongly recommend it.

Office 365 is scalable, but it is dependent on the situation. We don't have a problem with it from an organizational standpoint. They started with 100 employees and then added another 500 after six months, for a total of 600 employees. The setup of new users, new emails, and new applications to be assigned to the new users is straightforward.

They also provide the PowerShell command, which they provided more, development type, like, for example, you can create users, not manually, but through a script that can create users, for example, 100 users in two, three minutes, and you don't do it manually. They're fantastic.

My portfolio contains approximately 50 companies. Office 365 is our primary platform for the 50 companies. I only have one on G Suite, and the majority of them will be migrating from G Suite to 365 in the coming month.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate their performance a nine. However, you may encounter users who are just getting started and require a little more time to resolve the issue. But their assistance is quite efficient and simple.

Positive

One of my teachers from the university suggested I do the course to have an official engineer certificate in Office 365. I went to the university, and I did the course, which was a one-month course. Once I learned Office 365, I was able to provide more security and more stability not only, for the company, but as well, when I was going to the interview, I was providing tables and show them that I know and I'm an official engineer for this solution. Through the courses and learning that I received at the university for Office 365 on the technical side, I discovered that there are many things that you can do with the platform. For the first time, I like them. I told myself, "I have to stop using other email platforms and start using Office 365." This is one of the reasons I participated in the movement.

The initial setup is straightforward. You simply purchase a domain and assign it to the platform. If your domain is registered with one of the hosting platforms, such as GoDaddy, they have integration with GoDaddy, you can use it at the same time. With your GoDaddy login information, the process is going very smoothly. I didn't notice any difficulties with the setup.

In general, we buy licenses depending on the needs of the client. Most of the time, we purchase Microsoft Exchange licenses, which are less expensive and provide only an email platform and 50 gigabytes of email storage for free. 

You can begin for as little as 5 Euros per month. You will receive a discount if you choose a yearly plan. Then, depending on what license you require, it is paid 10 Euro, 12, 16, or 20 Euro, depending on how much you require. However, if you choose a yearly plan, you will receive a discount.

In terms of pricing, I would rate them a three out of five. They are not expensive, but they are not cheap. When comparing the solution to G Suite, one of their main competitors, they are priced the same. If it is also other competitors, they are very inexpensive. I can tell you that charging 5 Euros per month for an email is a small amount. 

I strongly recommend this solution. they are very good at what they do.

I work as a reseller. I am unable to be a partner. It's similar to having one in each country. For example, we charge most of the sales and pay something to Microsoft. Then, in cycles. As an authorized seller, I'm here to help.

The advice I would give them is to go with the best plan, which is both expensive and not cheap. Then they can start using it a little bit to see how the platform works, and then they can go to the Microsoft site and see how scalable the email as a mail platform is.

I would rate Office 365 a five out of ten.
