Microsoft 365 Reviews

Summary: Overall businesses with huge storage requirements for these files are going to benefit highly from the ease of use and increase in productivity that is going to results from not needing to backup or send around files again and again. For individuals, I don't see it as a major game-changer especially given the existence of G Suite.

Positive: - The simple fact that the entire MS office is not on the cloud makes it way easier to work with and not have to keep mailing documents around all the time.
- No need to worry about backing up files.
- No need to worry about updates and compatibility of file formats.

Negative: - Not price friendly for individuals.
- It can get a bit heavy and laggy at times owing to the dependence on a server.
- The Microsoft teams thing is weird.

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.

Summary: Got it mostly to get my PDFs done in time and also it has really come in handy with all the added applications such as excel which helps me do all the graphs stuff and OneDrive so I can have my project files all in one place.

Positive: Affordable pricing.
Easy to use user interface.
Essential applications in 1-package.
User friendly.
MICROSOFT WORD.

Negative: Could be much better when it comes to OneDrive, download speeds are sometimes low, and limited space unless you opt for PRO which is also expensive.

Summary: Overall it's a good option if you're not wanting to go with a Google product for your software solution needs.

Positive: Lots of options on the platform that you can use for a large variety of use cases for any business setting.

Negative: It's a bit complicated on the user interface dashboard

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.

Summary: best for novice in terms of money to product deal, limitation in versatility against various miscellaneous products availability in open market

Positive: good, reliable and easy to operate along with full control coupled in less specialties and multi tasking

Negative: not full versatile, pricing appearing on higher side as compare to similar other products available in market

Summary: A huge step in the right direction for Microsoft. Great product with improved collaboration functionality

Positive: OneDrive with 365 finally allows for Microsoft products to be collaborative. No more having to save 50 different versions as you send it around to your team members who then make their own edits. It's especially helpful in the COVID era because sharing a screen on a large excel file just doesn't work. This lets everyone be in the file at the same time while one person drives and everyone's on the same page.

Negative: There still needs to be improvement in version histories, especially in a situation where you are recovering a file. It's not always clear what version you're in and what has changed . Google Collaboration still has the edge here.

Summary: Very easy to use for most basic tasks, if your task needs a higher level of features it may be more difficult to complete.

Positive: Many features to use and has a great design. Backed by Microsoft which provides quality updates and support.

Negative: Certain features can be difficult to learn and use. Also is more expensive than other similar options.

Summary: These programs aren't going away - as they're too essential for productivity - and the pricing shows they know it.

Positive: Through office 365 you receive access to MS Office's latest tools. Comparing how Word, Excel, PP, and so on have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, the latest versions of these essential apps is a big draw.

Negative: Look, it's pricey. I get that access for 365 days is cheaper than what MS Office used to cost when it wasn't a subscription based model but...i can do math without MS Office! It adds up!

Summary: If you have a lot of money to throw then you can buy this. The features are good and have decent support.

Positive: Microsoft 365 offers many tools like MS Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint and so on. Good for business as well as personal use.

Negative: The one major con is that it is extremely money minded and super expensive especially for small scale startups and students.

Summary: Overall it is good software. But the loading time makes me shy away. I love having all the productivity software in one place.

Positive: The Office Suite has all the productivity software you need and it is rather intuitive and easy to find technical help in a variety of sources. It can be as elementary or in-depth as you need. It is always backward compatible. The features are generally much better than other software I have used.

Negative: I am no sure if it is a Mac thing or just a subscription thing , but the software takes forever to load. It can be upwards of 2-3 minutes. I have it on multiple machines and see it on every machine.

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.
