    Microsoft 365

    Updated: Apr 08 2020
    Summary

    Overall its good to be a online platform. This reduces the pain of installing the software on a personal system and copying the files wherever needed. Microsoft 365 is one of the best Software as a Service.

    Positive

    Office 365:
    It can be accessed from anywhere in the world for free.
    It has almost all the features of the normal office suite.
    No need to install the office suite on the local system.
    It works just like the normal office suite.
    Windows 10 enterprise: A perfect Operating System.

    Negative

    The only disadvantage I see is the absence of auto-complete options in Office 365.

    Positive

    Best User interface and user experience. Easy to use. Comes with various products that will help you in your daily life.

    Great Office Suite, albeit somewhat expensive.

    Date: Aug 20 2020
    Summary

    Overall, while I like using Microsoft's Tools, I much prefer Google Suite for my simple needs. Microsoft tries to monopolize everything. Unless you are in a huge company with lots of requirements for all the apps it provides, I would rather use some other Office Suites that gives me just the basics I need.

    Positive

    I love how it's moved to the cloud now, and the interface is intuitive. The sleek modern look is definitely inviting. It has all the necessary features one would look for in an office suite, and the extra apps you get with the subscription is something no other competitor has. For example, Access and OneNote are definitely a plus.

    Negative

    It's not worth the price for personal use. You can't work on your files offline, especially on your personal system, which is sad. There are many alternatives I love to use for free. Besides, the subscription gives you way too many apps that you might probably not use in your lifetime. Some, like SharePoint are also buggy.

    Date: May 27 2020
    Summary

    Office 365 is in my daily life factually and addresses all of my company anxieties. If it's some client meetings, strong corporate potential, data entries through Microsoft Excel or bulk mails, Office 365 is still there for me. I use it with great ease.

    Positive

    I love using Microsoft 365 because it is an easy way therefore I am capable of success in personal and professional life.

    Negative

    Office 365 is indeed an internet based program, meaning that, if we do not give us the speeds that are not ideal, and I do not like it.

    Summary

    My overall experience with Office 365 is quite amazing. It performs very well in all my work needs. Office 365 always gets the job done for me.

    Positive

    If you used the desktop version of the office then you realize that office 365 is quite similar to the desktop version. I really like that in Office 365, you can access data on multiple devices. It gives you quite good storage in OneDrive.

    Negative

    Sometimes it lags on receiving files from OneDrive. The subscription price is also a little bit high.

    All in one productivity suite with all the software you are familiar with

    Date: Apr 06 2020
    Summary

    I was skeptical at first after working in IT for years and being familiar with the old Microsoft licensing system and deploying across enterprise but have since come around to the idea of Office 365 and the integrations they put into it so that everything works so well together makes it well worth it. Also the ability to install on your home computer with a work license just makes sense.

    Positive

    Integration of all parts of the suite is outstanding, from OneDrive and its auto saving feature on all MS Office suite products to Teams and its ability to tie directly into the apps you need to use the most. All around an excellent implementation of cloud licensing.

    Negative

    Perpetual licenses are great for a buy it and not worry about it ever again, until you want to upgrade... but I still like 1 time cost instead of recurring licensing.

    No competition here

    Date: May 27 2020
    Summary

    I can't recommend Office 365 enough. It is robust and user-friendly. If you don't know the answer, you can find the answer.

    Positive

    Word. PowerPoint. Excel. Outlook. If you know how to use these four programs, you can virtually do anything. I love how streamlined everything is. Microsoft does an excellent job of ensuring that no matter what program you are in, you will find the same categories across the top, in the same order. There really is no competition with these products. You could use other online programs, but they really just aren't as robust.

    Negative

    You could point out that Microsoft doesn't leave much room for customization of its products, but I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. Overall, just great programs.
