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.

I'm a customer and an end-user. I don't have a specific business relationship with Microsoft. It's all cloud-based. Therefore, we are always using the current version. It's a product that automatically updates itself. Before using Microsoft Office 365, some sort of familiarity is required. Most people are aware of Word or Excel or PowerPoint, however, if they're using Teams, they should have some sort of in-field training. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It has all t business tools that most companies require to run a business effectively. It is useful.

I'm a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution I am using. I'd advise those who want to use the solution, especially Excel, that they should do some studying first. It will make everything easier once you start using it. I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's great. It's a really excellent solution.

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.

Learn the product before you jump in, it is very powerful, but that means it isn't always easy to manage. Changes can be simple as checking a box, or as complicated as sending PowerShell code, best to know how to use the features you want before you move everyone over.

Office 365 has got variety of subscriptions. Very good option for small and medium business. Office 365 email solution is excellent, very good admin control console to enable security features to inbound and outbound emails. This is part of basic standard subscription itself. As the subscription modules goes up, the security features are too notch. Email spam and malware can be integrated with third party solutions like Symantec email cloud security or barracuda or any other solution. Without any hesitations one can go for this...

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.

We're an Office 365 shop. We do all of our stuff through Azure. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. If they were better on the administrative side, I'd likely rate them at a perfect ten out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to others. They should just take the product and start using it. It's fantastic having everything in one place. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Learn a bit before you try to use it. If you are going to experience the best features of it, get to know it first. Don't just ignore it. I would rate it a six out of ten. I use it minimally.

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.

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.

We're just a customer. We don't have any business relationship with Microsoft. We're using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend the solution. It's very easy to use and extremely practical. We find it quite useful within our organization. We don't use any comparable products, so it's hard to rate the solution in comparison to alternative offerings, however, generally, I'd rate the product nine out of ten.

The advice I would give to others who are looking into implementing Office 365 is that this solution is a good one for anybody needing a scalable, stable solution with good uptime. It is virtually a worry-free solution especially from the standpoint of IT administrators. On the scale from one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate this product as a nine-out-of-ten. I would rate OneDrive as a nine as well.

Microsoft Office is a basic tool in consulting. I have implemented macros, specialized Office tools, and applications for it using Visual Basic. I usually need to design tools for our clients, because I want to give them a really good product. It needs to be more than Excel, alone, because it has to be easy to enter data. There are also calculations that happen in the background, and we do not want the client to be harassed by things that they do not need to know. The mission of the Office is to do small computations. It is a tool for small documents and spreadsheets, and I think it's perfect for what it's meant to be. On the other hand, there is always something that can be improved. I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

The advice I would give depends mainly on their requirements. If they need to minimize their administration, Office 365 would be an excellent option. On a scale of one to ten, one being the lowest and ten being the highest, I would rate this product a seven.

The version we are using is very generic. It requires that you perform a lot of customizations. I rate this product a 7 out of 10. I give it this rating because it works but it's not sophisticated enough and not specialized enough for health care. It requires a lot of time to customize.
