Office 365 Reviews

My use case is mainly the email solution of Office 365. I use the exchange online for my emails, corporate emails. I use OneDrive for saving my data on the internet, and the other good features are Excel, Word and PowerPoint online, which allows me to create online documents. I also sometimes use Microsoft Teams within Office 365. We generally use Teams for our video conference meetings and presentation meetings. We also sometimes use SharePoint to share documents with people outside our organization. I am a cloud security lead and we are users of Office 365. 

What I like most about Office 365 is its reliability and that I haven't experienced any outages, it's always worked fine for me. It also has a unique 'giving' feature in that if I go for Office 365 licensing for a particular license level, Microsoft also offers me other services along with Office 365. 

The product could be improved if there was integration with other single sign-on solutions that are available on the market. I'd also like to see integration with other privileged identity or access management solutions. If there are only particular solutions that we have to go with and other market leaders have other solutions that we'd like, then that becomes costly. If they came up with more access or solution integrations that were less expensive, then that would be helpful.

Microsoft should come up with some documentation or presentation related to specific use cases. There are times when companies or organizations migrate to Office 365, but they are not aware of each and every feature that's available and that they could be using. I think they should have special feature-based training sessions, where information can be shared with users. It can be subdivided into departments whether it's accounting, HR, technical.

I've been using this solution for more than five years. 

I think this is a very stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. You just need to invest in the new added user licenses and get those onboard. It is on your tenant ID, which is already created. So I guess scalability is quite easy in Office 365. You can go in for new licenses every year and easily scale up. My organization currently has between 400-500 users of this product. We have a team of two or three who deal with it. We plan to increase usage and we already give training sessions on usage of this product on a use case basis depending on the department you're working in. 

The technical support is quite good from Microsoft.

We were using G-Suite before this but G-Suite doesn't have the features that Office 365 offers. We have access to Teams, video conferencing, SharePoint and all the other features which is why we thought it was a better solution for us. 

The initial setup was straightforward. I think deployment took around one and a half months. and the strategy was to get a batch of users first migrated to Office 365 and then continue in batches until everyone was on board. We worked directly with Microsoft for the deployment. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration. Everything is integrated.

Teams could be better. It is not very well integrated with the rest of the solution. It's too heavy.

I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint. It's complicated.

I have been using Office 365 for a couple of weeks.

Office 365 is always current, it's a service.

Office 365 is very stable. I don't have any problems with the stability of this solution.

We don't have any problems with the scalability of Office 365.

We use Office 365 extensively, we use it all of the time.

In our company, we have several dozen users.

I have not contacted technical support.

We are a publishing company. We develop our own solution, which I use on a daily basis.

The initial setup is very easy.

Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them.

I would advise you to carefully plan your migration.

We are both customers and a partner with Office 365.

I like this solution, I have everything that I need. I would rate Office 365 an eight out of ten.

Our primary use is for email.

The most valuable feature is Microsoft Exchange.

The security should be improved.

I have been using Office 365 for about four years.

It is a stable product.

It is scalable and easy to expand to more users. We have 200 people in our company who are using it.

The technical support is very good.

Overall, this is a very good product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for Office 365 is productivity, such as email.

The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices.

Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow.

Office 365 would be improved if the CRM integration were better.

I have been working with Office 365 for the past five years.

We have not experienced any bugs or glitches.

Scalability has not been a problem.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

In summary, this is a good product and one that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

If you have a global solution, you can go from one product to the other very easily. And then you can share data between all the different Office tools which is good because participation and sharing is very good. That's the most important aspect of Office 365.

I have been using Office 365 for four years. 

We don't have any problems with scalability. We have around 150 users. 

We have an internal IT support team. So we send any problem to IT support and they contact Microsoft if needed. 

I'm not the one doing the setup, so I don't know exactly how long it takes and if it was difficult, but I think it went quickly.

I would recommend it because it's rather user friendly and we don't have any particular problems. I would recommend it to a company without a problem.

A need that a company like ours has is that we want to be able to have data flow into one tool, for example, for all the management of tasks through the company and workflow of who is doing what and so on. There are no real solutions for this at the moment in Office 365. It would be nice if they could implement this in the next release, so we can have one solution from one company giving us the whole data and flow of data into the company.

I would rate Office 365 an eight out of ten. 

My primary use cases are for Word: 

• I write memos
• PowerPoint 
• Pitch decks
• Excel
• Financial models.

I like all of the features. 

In terms of improvement, a better help bar would be good. I find it's generally not very helpful and I have to search online.

I have been using Office 365 for twelve years. 

It's stable.

It's easy to expand and add new things like Google Docs and new PowerPoints.

I use it all the time. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The process was short. I did it myself. 

In the next release, I would like to have a more intuitive tutorial.

I would rate Office 365 a ten out of ten. There's nothing else like it. 

We use it primarily for collaboration across teams. We use it to collaborate either via email or we use Teams quite a lot. For all of our meetings, we are now using Teams. Then we use the planner boards and things in Teams as well for keeping track of the work that we need to do.

It's nice that it's an all-in-one solution and everything is all in one place. 

You can have your meetings, your meeting history, you can record meetings, you've got a place for meeting notes, you can create your task board, or have planner boards, or you can use other tools like Trello within Teams. 

Just the integration that it gives allows us a lot of different other platforms in basically one place, and it's good to have everything at our fingertips if and when we need it.

The one big problem with the solution is if you are presenting in Teams and someone puts their hand up, you don't get a notification. If you are running a meeting and just presenting you don't know that people have their hands up and want to ask a question. 

What I don't like is that not all of the capabilities exist on a chat. You have to have a Teams channel to use, for example, a planner. It would be nice if I could still use a planner board on a chat.

We've been using the solution for more than a year.

The stability of the solution is very good. We use it extensively and have run big meetings with lots of people. It has never crashed or froze on us. There aren't bugs or glitches. We've been quite satisfied with it.

In terms of scalability, we haven't had any issues. We've been using it quite heavily over the last couple of months with lots and lots of people running different meetings at the same time, and lots of people in a single meeting. We haven't had any issues so far in terms of scaling the solution in that sense.

We've got probably about 5,000 people in our organization using it and they vary from technical IT teams to our business unit is across different areas, like marketing, finance, HR, etc. Pretty much the whole organization is using it. I don't think we could possibly increase usage at this point as it's already so pervasive in our organization. That said, we have no plans to move away from it.

If we do have issues, we engage it with our internal support and they would then reach out to the third party support. Therefore, I don't know what that support looks like.

We still use Office, or Outlook, for emails. Previously we used that and then we used Slack for collaboration instead of Teams.

Teams obviously has more integration with other tools. Slack had the chat capability and it allowed us to have meetings, however, it didn't record meetings and it didn't have a meeting history section. You weren't able to see everyone in the meeting. Again, you didn't have the planner boards and all the other widgets that you can integrate with from a Team's point of view. Teams is more usable and has a lot more features. It's just one place where everything's captured. When we'd use Slack and we'd use Trello, they were separate tools, and information was in two different places. Teams basically gives you Slack and Trello together, along with so many other things.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It is very straightforward, in my opinion.

Our central team rolled it out, therefore I wasn't part of the deployment process. I'm not sure how long it took to roll everything out.

I'm not sure how many people are needed to maintain the solution.

I do know our central team rolled it out, however, I'm not sure if we brought on any outside help.

I'm not sure how much our organization pays for licensing.

We're just a customer. We do not have a partnership with Microsoft.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are currently using.

I'd recommend this solution to other organizations.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
