Collaboration benefits and cost-saving features have enhanced productivity
What is our primary use case?
I use Office 365 for numerous purposes. I work with technology and various other industries and sectors. In my work, Office 365 is used for many things, especially for collaboration, whether within teams or across different sectors.
What is most valuable?
Office 365 is very easy to use and it's fast, with functionalities that allow for seamless simulations. The collaboration features, especially when working with technology sectors, are highly useful. The ability to utilize the transcription solution embedded in Office is particularly beneficial, as it negates the need to pay for an external transcription platform, offering great return on investment.
What needs improvement?
Office 365 should be easier to integrate with other platforms, similar to Google Sheets. The APIs should allow for easier use across platforms. Additionally, Microsoft's sharing capabilities are more restricted compared to Google, and OneDrive is limited in terms of space and functionality for document management and conversion.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Office 365 for a long time, since its inception, approximately seventeen years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Office 365 is excellent. I have no concerns regarding its stability in use.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Office 365 offers straightforward scalability. In our company and with another customer, it scales easily. Overall, I find the scalability very satisfactory.
How are customer service and support?
Although I have never personally used Microsoft support, the information availability is crucial. I find every issue or question has been easily resolved by searching the internet, indicating strong support resources.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Office 365 is very easy.
What was our ROI?
The return on investment with Office 365 is quite good, especially with the transcription solution embedded in the product. When compared to the cost of using transcription features on another platform, Office 365 offers significant savings, essentially paying for itself within a short period.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
In Brazil, the pricing of Office 365 is reasonable given the plethora of features offered. Although it can be expensive compared to other solutions, the continuous upgrading and enhancement justify the cost. The price is acceptable, although it could be less.
What other advice do I have?
When comparing collaboration features, Google is often more user-friendly, particularly in terms of ease of use, change visibility, and sharing. Microsoft Office is good but is restrictive in sharing capabilities and integration with platforms like Drive. Overall, I love Office 365 and rate it nine out of ten; it's a very good solution.
