    Positive

    Office 365 has allowed us to videoconference effectively in our company to get closer to our customers, have access to email, use instant messaging, screen sharing and good cloud storage, which have streamlined to efficiency with projects within the company, thus facilitating work comfort.

    Negative

    The price is high when starting or starting a small business so I hope they are more accessible to all, some of the files lose the original format when opening it from another device, we find it difficult when the files are very heavy because Office tend to work slower.

    Microsoft 365 Review - A great deal for businesses

    Date: May 24 2020
    Summary

    These bundle of apps are what you expect in a typical Microsoft application. The same user-friendly UI, as well as the easy to learn features that it has. It is overall a smooth experience.

    Positive

    Microsoft recently launched their bundle of software called Microsoft 365. While it confuses the bundle with Microsoft Office 365, it comes with more than that. Microsoft 365 is a subscription based bundle of programs which includes Office 365 and Windows 10. It is indeed a great price to pay especially for businesses and educational institutions who would like to taste the flavor of Microsoft Office applications as well as Windows 10.

    Negative

    The fact that Microsoft decided to create a bundle like this is a somewhat confusing move. We already have Microsoft Office 365 which only includes the Office bundle and you can also buy Windows 10 separately.
