Office 365 Reviews

I am using Office 365 for emails, presentations, spreadsheets, documents, PDF conversions, creation of PDFs, whiteboarding on the conference calls, OneNote for taking notes, and OneDrive for data storage.

The most valuable feature of Office 365 is that it has many solutions bundled together.

Sometimes the configurations of the error troubleshooting are pretty problematic and there are a lot of issues that happen even if you follow the step-by-step guides. They can work on fixing this issue. If there are a lot of issues in your Windows or your Office or anything, you restart your PC and it works. They need to get rid of this need.

While using Microsoft OneDrive, which is part of Office 365, we use it to store all our data files. At this point in time, OneDrive doesn't support PST files. PST files are for our Outlook data. OneDrive doesn't take backup of the PST files, which is a big setback.

In the future release, there should be better automation. When you're scheduling a meeting, it should be in an automated way, it should prove us with more information about kind room slots. If there is a travel booking that is coming onto your email, it should go ahead and block your calendar as well in accordance with the times. This is an Outlook-related suggestion. 

On PowerPoint, there could be more templates that could be added in, which makes your job slightly easier when you're designing something. 

Excel, I think is a phenomenal solution, the only problem is it becomes very heavy as data increases. If they can work towards compression, that should be helpful.

I have been using Office 365 since they launched the solution.

The stability of Office 365 is fantastic.

Office 365 is scalable.

We have 40,000 people using the solution in my organization.

We use our internal support for Office 365.

Office 365 is very straightforward to implement.

There is a license required to use this solution.

The price of Office 365 is very expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others, it is a very good solution.

I rate Office 365 a nine out of ten because I have faced certain issues, such as the solution crashing. If there are solution issues, it's difficult to resolve and that's the reason why I'm taking that one point away. Office 365t helps me do my job,  I'm very happy with the products.

We use Office 365 for project management. Around 2,500 people at my company use it.

Office 365 helps us work securely with other companies.

OneNote is the feature I use the most. We also frequently use the Power Apps features.

Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment.

I have been using Office 365 since I started work at this company in September last year.

Office 365 is highly reliable. The company hasn't had any issues so far.

Microsoft support is great.

The company used Nextcloud and WeTransfer in the past, but we switched because Office 365 is an all-in-one solution. However, I think Nextcloud is more usable than Office 365, but it ultimately came down to security. 

I wasn't involved with implementing Office 365, but it should be complex when you do it right because 365 is constantly evolving. You have to look at your tenant: Are things new? Are they open? Is it a security risk? What has Microsoft opened? Do I want to let all colleagues access the new features?

We have an E3 license, and we pay 15 euros a person. 3,000 euros is a lot per month.

I rate Office 365 eight out of 10.

Hybrid Cloud

I primarily use Office 365 for creating Word documents. We also utilize its cloud-based functionalities, such as SharePoint for document management.

I use Office 365 extensively, particularly for Word documents. One of its strengths is the integration with SharePoint and other applications like Teams, which allows for seamless communication and file sharing. The integration capability is strong as it links various applications such as the calendar and email functions, making it useful for our organization.

I wish Project could be more integrated into Office 365, as it currently requires a separate license.

I have been working with Office 365 for a couple of years, approximately two or three years.

I would rate the stability of Office 365 as eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Office 365 as ten out of ten.

I do not have direct experience with Microsoft support because, according to company rules, I report issues to our internal help desk. If they cannot resolve it, they will contact support.

Positive

I previously used cloud solutions related to my former work with Amazon products. But I quit using clouds as my job no longer relates to this.

We have an IT department that handles the initial setup. We receive our accounts and access to the applications according to our roles.

I cannot provide an estimate on pricing or setup costs, as these are handled at a group level.

I can compare Office 365 with solutions like Open Office, which may be cheaper. However, it doesn't meet the required capabilities that we need. While Open Office is free, it lacks necessary functionalities.

Overall, I rate Office 365 a nine out of ten. It does a good job with most of the required applications, although I wish Project was seamlessly integrated into Office 365 as part of the base package.

I use Office 365 for numerous purposes. I work with technology and various other industries and sectors. In my work, Office 365 is used for many things, especially for collaboration, whether within teams or across different sectors.

Office 365 is very easy to use and it's fast, with functionalities that allow for seamless simulations. The collaboration features, especially when working with technology sectors, are highly useful. The ability to utilize the transcription solution embedded in Office is particularly beneficial, as it negates the need to pay for an external transcription platform, offering great return on investment.

Office 365 should be easier to integrate with other platforms, similar to Google Sheets. The APIs should allow for easier use across platforms. Additionally, Microsoft's sharing capabilities are more restricted compared to Google, and OneDrive is limited in terms of space and functionality for document management and conversion.

I have used Office 365 for a long time, since its inception, approximately seventeen years.

The stability of Office 365 is excellent. I have no concerns regarding its stability in use.

Office 365 offers straightforward scalability. In our company and with another customer, it scales easily. Overall, I find the scalability very satisfactory.

Although I have never personally used Microsoft support, the information availability is crucial. I find every issue or question has been easily resolved by searching the internet, indicating strong support resources.

Positive

Setting up Office 365 is very easy.

The return on investment with Office 365 is quite good, especially with the transcription solution embedded in the product. When compared to the cost of using transcription features on another platform, Office 365 offers significant savings, essentially paying for itself within a short period.

In Brazil, the pricing of Office 365 is reasonable given the plethora of features offered. Although it can be expensive compared to other solutions, the continuous upgrading and enhancement justify the cost. The price is acceptable, although it could be less.

When comparing collaboration features, Google is often more user-friendly, particularly in terms of ease of use, change visibility, and sharing. Microsoft Office is good but is restrictive in sharing capabilities and integration with platforms like Drive. Overall, I love Office 365 and rate it nine out of ten; it's a very good solution.

I use Office 365 strictly for sales. As a small office, we utilize products like Outlook and Word.

The valuable features I use most are Outlook, Word, print to PDF functionality, and Excel. For our meetings, we use Teams regularly, and it serves as a good platform for our ongoing meetings and project management.

Moving from the original Outlook to Outlook 365 was problematic because I couldn't transfer a lot of my previous emails. This is an area where improvement is needed to make the transition smoother. On the Zoho end, I find it is not intuitive and not a great CRM, especially compared to ACT CRM, which I found more intuitive and easier to use.

I have been using Office 365 since I began my current role, but I do not recall the exact time frame.

I would say the stability of Office 365 is relatively good, about ninety percent stable.

We are a small office, so scalability is not applicable to me.

I do not interact directly with Microsoft support; it is always through our technicians, so I cannot provide a rating on their customer service.

Neutral

I came from an ACT CRM and I thought it was more intuitive than Zoho.

I found the initial setup of Office 365 a bit cumbersome, so I used a technician. It took about four hours over the course of a week.

One person, our technician, handled the deployment.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Office 365 as eight. I recommend Office 365 to other businesses.

All services offered by Office 365 are useful, including Outlook email, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. Their cloud accessibility significantly enhances convenience. Having instant access to emails and documents is powerful for our work requirements.

The stability of Office 365 is excellent. It ensures that communications are always running, providing almost 100% uptime. This is crucial for accessing emails, documents, and presentations anytime needed.

Office 365 offers considerable scalability. I rate it eight out of ten as it deploys quickly and is convenient for our small team of about five people.

I haven't used customer service for Office 365. With Microsoft Azure, I faced some issues, mainly due to pricing and a lack of visibility in services and support levels.

Neutral

Before using Office 365, I used on-prem solutions with client software installed on laptops, which were not cloud-based. For other solutions, Linux was cumbersome, so Office 365 was the preferred choice.

The initial setup of Office 365 was very easy, rating it nine out of ten. It was a straightforward process with predefined steps and prompts, making installation smooth.

Implementation was straightforward, following predefined installation steps and prompts.

The subscription prices for Office 365 are revised annually and tend to be on the higher side. Pricing visibility is a concern. The licensing deals could be improved for better user satisfaction.

No other options were evaluated before choosing Office 365, as I have been a Microsoft and Office user for a long time.

Microsoft offers great applications, but pricing should be more transparent. It is critically important for communications and documentation to be stable, making Office 365 invaluable. I would rate Office 365 as an eight out of ten.
