Office 365 Reviews

We are using Office 365 mainly for emails, document storage, SharePoint, and the Power Apps to build our own in-house applications.

The most innovative feature of Office 365 is the Power Apps, which allows us to automate literally everything that we want automated. For example, sending attachments to specific folders on SharePoint, adding people's SharePoint when certain apps are performed, or emailing certain people at certain instances, such as when you've done a follow-up with the CRM and you need a marketing email to be sent out at a particular point. 

I have been using Office 365 for approximately two years.

Office 365 is stable.

We have found Office 365 to be scalable.

We have approximately 25 people using this solution in my organization. All of our departments are using it.

The organization is growing rapidly, as we onboard more users, we'll be using Office 365 a bit more. We typically recommend Office 365 to our clients. The feedback that we have received from our clients is it's a solution they're willing to stay with.

Support Office 365 is at a high level. Any time I have an issue, support is always there. Whether it's by email or call back, the response is very prompt. I usually receive my issues resolved within less than eight hours.

I rate the support of Office 365 a four out of five.

The setup of Office 365 was straightforward because I'm the one who did the initial setup as my background is in web dev. Additionally, starting the configuration was pretty easy for me.

A hybrid deployment of Office 365 took approximately two days to have all their emails migrated and everyone up and running.

We did the implementation in-house.

We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions.

We have evaluated other solutions and we settled on Office 365 because of the stability and flexibility.

Office 365 itself is very organization-friendly,  if you're an organization that is looking for a solution that will sort out all your office problems, then definitely it's a solution that you'd be looking for.

I rate Office 365 an eight out of ten.

• Rapid deployment of Office functionality to users.
• Ability to enforce global policies.
• Security.

Monthly subscription per user provides flexibility and a significant number of capable apps to leverage corporate data.

We have found Office 365's many features and apps to be extremely useful, beyond the usual Word and Excel, which most people are used to using. We've made extensive use of SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and so forth, and are exploring the other capabilities of Office 365.

Many of the compliance facilities, whilst available, require a bit of 'digging' around the back end of the admin/security facilities. It would be nice to have industry/regional templates which could be adopted and customized to help get compliance settings made more easily, especially for user organizations that face a lot of compliance issues.

About two years now.

No, deployment was very simple.

No, so far Office 365 has been extremely reliable and stable.

So far no issues encountered, we have scanned a lot of documents without any issues.

We worked with a Microsoft Partner and found the service to be excellent.

Very high.

We were using Office 2007 before the upgrade, with various licensing scattered across the business. Office 365 gave us a consistent platform that could be easily rolled out. Also, the ongoing updates to Office 365 help reduce the workload on keeping apps up-to-date, especially if the IT team is small.

Initial setup was very straightforward.

We worked through a Microsoft Partner who helped us get Office 365 deployed across our organization.

So far, substantial savings of approximately 30 to 40 percent vs the old licensing model. Also, as staff numbers fluctuate, it is possible to keep the number of subscriptions in alignment with headcount. Monthly subscriptions for each user make the solution extremely flexible.

If you are a small business and/or have in-house technical capability, getting up and running with Office 365 is fairly simple. I suggest working with a good Microsoft Partner if the organization is large or disparate/distributed.

We spent a bit of time evaluating OpenOffice, LibreOffice, but Office 365 suited our particular needs very well. However, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are themselves good products and should be reviewed/considered for productivity applications. One of the main strengths of Office 365 is it runs on the Azure platform and has Microsoft behind it, which gives me a lot of confidence.

We've been very happy with Office 365 so far. We're looking to see how else we can leverage the investment in Delve, Yammer, Forms, and other capabilities across the business.

We primarily use the solution for Excel, for analyzing data, and PowerPoint, for presentations.

There aren't any features that jump out at me as being valuable.

The Excel application's ability to handle spreadsheets and calculations if very useful.

The integration with other applications is pretty good.

There's a matter of sharing with other users. If someone is working on it or disconnects from the mutual storage, I need to save it as is and I need to override it. I cannot work together with other users on the same document. That may be possible on the cloud version of Office 365, however, I'm not sure as we use the desktop version. This is one issue we have with the solution.

If two people update the same file, it causes issues.

I've only been at this company for three months, and two months in the office. I've been using Office 365 since I arrived.

The solution is quite stable. I haven't had any issues so fr. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't freeze or crash. It's very reliable.

I'm not sure if scalability is an issue for this kind of application.

In our organization, there are hundreds or maybe even thousands of users. Everybody probably has some instance of it, whether it's on the cloud or on-prem. it's pretty prevalent across departments.

We are a huge company. For all of the applications we use, we have 20-30 people engaging in the support of all the projects, and not this solution in particular.

My understanding is the organization is planning to move exclusively to Office 365 and probably to the cloud. That's the next step we are taking.

I have never personally dealt with technical support, however, I believe it to be quite good.

I don't believe the organization used a different product before this solution was implemented.

The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't complex at all. However, I'm used to working in the Microsoft environment.

I'm not sure how long deployment actually takes.

I don't know if we used an integrator or reseller to assist in the installation of the product, as I only really started at the company a few months ago.

I don't deal with accounting, so I'm unsure as to what the licensing costs would be.

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

I believe I'm using the 2019 version of the solution.

While this version is on-premise, it's my understanding that the organization is testing the cloud version for future deployment.

I would certainly recommend this product to others.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I use Office 365 mostly got Excel and Word.

The most valuable feature of Office 365 is automatic saving. If something happens on the computer your work is saved.

Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution.

I have been using Office 365 for many years.

The stability of Office 365 is very good.

The scalability of Office 365 is good, if more than one person is using it, it works well.

We have approximately 100 people using this solution in my company.

I have not used the support from Office 365.

The initial setup of Office 365 is straightforward and very easy.

My advice to those wanting to implement Office 365 for the first time is they should take the tutorial first because they need to learn what to do with the solution.

I rate Office 365 a nine out of ten.

It gives a platform to connect with your colleagues. Through Yammer, its cloud connectivity enhances its MS Office experience.

By employing cloud integration, its performance has increased. It has got an upgraded version of MS Word, and a better and upgraded PowerPoint, which are very useful.

Its cloud connectivity and integration of Yammer is best. It's a complete package for any office to use.

• They should reduce the license fees....otherwise its the best office solution till date from the Microsoft.

• Cloud
• Collaboration ability
• Security.

We are a remote/distributed company, so we need cloud functionality; collaboration is also key in a remote environment.

We have greater ability to communicate and work on projects much more efficiently. I can provide IT support for over 200 employees remotely.

Skype for Business could use some help. But, they constantly update and improve the full suite of apps.

The UI/UX feels a bit clunky. Especially compared to consumer Skype or Teams. There isn’t persistent chat, so it is hard to having on-going conversations. We actually stopped using it for instant messaging, but still use it for the CloudPBX/PSTN (landline calling) which works pretty well. There are some stability issues, but better than a lot of VoIP options.

I have used it for 1.5 years.

Rarely have we had stability issues. Maybe 20 minutes of disruption over 1.5 years.

Office 365 scales extremely well.

I have only had to use their support once, but they seemed proficient.

We didn’t really have a previous solution. We used a stand-alone email service and older versions of Office.

It is a very easy, logical set-up and now they have an on-boarding wizard which looks helpful and offer FastTrack to help with on-boarding.

Licensing is maybe the most confusing part of it – in fact there are certification courses just for licensing! But, we have had both the E3 and E5 levels and provides everything we need.

We looked at Google at Work.

Provide lots of training and roll out one app at a time for apps that are above and beyond standard Office apps. Reiterate that they can use cloud/desktop or both. Our users sometimes struggle understanding that the desktop apps have the same content as the cloud version.

Our primary use is for document management.

We use Sharepoint for managing documents, Teams for collaboration, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook for email management. We also use the document creator for creating internal surveys.

Using Office 365 has allowed us to go digital and onboard people seamlessly for working at home during the COVID pandemic. 

The most valuable feature is that we can access our documents from anywhere. If we aren't using our official laptops, we can still go online to work. I think it helps a lot.

Integration with other platforms can be improved. As it is now, it works really well with Azure and other products from Microsoft. However, if you want to integrate something outside of this, especially with Excel, it gives us challenges. There are a lot of use cases in Excel where we want to integrate with other services.

I have been using Office 365 for the past couple of years.

I think that Office 365 is pretty stable. We are using it pretty extensively and I have not encountered any major issues.

I'm pretty sure that this platform is very scalable because now, almost everybody is working from home and using it. We have between 1,500 and 1,600 users who are scattered across geography. Approximately 1,300 are in India and the remainder is spread across the US.

I do not deal with technical support personally, although because we haven't had any major issues, I think that our interaction with them has been smooth.

Prior to using Office 365, we were using the on-premises version.

I would not say that the initial setup is complex. Rather, it is of medium difficulty, somewhere between straightforward and complex.

Once we decided to use Office 365, we were able to onboard people seamlessly. We were able to quickly start working with Team, Skype, and other products.

Our internal IT team took charge of the implementation and deployment. They were able to complete it without assistance. The deployment is now fairly automatic for new people and there is very little time spent on maintenance.

In summary, the features are really good, it has made our lives easy, and I highly recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is mostly used for AI, SharePoint online, and importing information.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has been used here in Brazil for a long time, so the familiarity is there. It's being used by both individual and enterprise users, and it has a good interface. It's very adaptable and it's easy to market in Brazil. We've installed this solution for a lot of enterprise clients. It's a solution that's easy to use.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could use some customization, but it's trivial.

There are some solutions that are easier to scale compared to Microsoft Defender for Office 365, but in general, its scalability is okay.

The initial setup for this solution is very easy.

I've been selling all kinds of solutions, including Office 365, Power BI, and Microsoft Defender for Office 365. I'm based in Brazil and I've been working with Microsoft partners. We have a whole list of customers who use Microsoft solutions. We usually deal with the newest versions and models of Microsoft products.

I don't know exactly what could be improved in this solution. There could be a small room for improvement, but I don't know what it is, or if Microsoft Defender for Office 365 really needs improvement, because it is a very solid solution.

For deployment and maintenance of this solution, we have five people who are in charge.

I don't have direct interaction with technical support, so I can't say from my experience if it's good or not, but what I observed it they give very good support.

My advice for people planning to use Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is that it's a very good solution, and they won't have problems using it.

I'm rating Microsoft Defender for Office 365 a nine out of ten.
