Office suite adapts well to diverse tasks but some applications need refinement

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The features of Office 365 that have significantly enhanced my workflow productivity include Excel, which is a very good product that helps assist me with my work.

There are approximately 3,000 people using Office 365 in my organization.

What is most valuable?

As a user of Office 365, I find it to be a common Office suite that we can use for documentation, spreadsheets, and presentations to other customers.

What needs improvement?

The areas of Office 365 that have room for improvement include PowerPoint, which I think needs significant improvement or should be removed. I don't know much about OneNote, and I don't find it useful. As for Access, people use it, but it's not widely adopted. Teams is in its early stages and requires substantial improvements, though it's making progress. I particularly dislike PowerPoint, though I acknowledge others may have different opinions.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have about 3 years of experience working with Office 365 specifically, but I've been using Office for approximately 20 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

It is deployed both on cloud and on premises.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

When rating the stability of Office 365, seven is probably reasonably good. I use Excel extensively, so sometimes it has issues because I overuse it, but based on that, it's around six or seven.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When rating the scalability of Office 365, I would need a definition of scalability when discussing an Office suite in this case.

How are customer service and support?

I have never used technical support from Microsoft in 20-30 years.

Regarding their message board support, I think it's extremely poor. While I haven't contacted them directly, searching for solutions on the internet reveals that answers are very simple, minimal, and not very helpful.

Their actual direct contact support might be better, but I cannot verify this as I have never specifically contacted Microsoft.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

A long time ago, I was a volume seller, but now I'm just a user of Microsoft solutions.

How was the initial setup?

Regarding the initial setup of Office 365, I can't fully evaluate it because I've been using Office for so many years that Office 365 didn't seem significantly different. I use many languages and sometimes need to download packages for each language, but I experienced absolutely no issues, making it a reasonably easy solution to install.

What about the implementation team?

I did not face any challenges while integrating Office 365 with other tools.

What was our ROI?

I swapped the computer and the performance improved, but that has nothing to do with Office 365 itself.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

When I purchased Office 365 myself, it was somewhat expensive. Recently it increased in price by approximately 20 percent, and I'm not sure if this increase is justified as I don't see any explicit features that are helpful.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

There should be more options to not use PowerPoint or Access so that people who just consider using Word or Excel would have better options.

What other advice do I have?

I might be using Horizon in the next couple of months, though I'm not sure. I have extensive experience with Office 365. If organizations need it, I would recommend it, as Excel is a very good program and Word is quite a good program.

I rate Office 365 a 6 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Experience has improved productivity but login issues persist

  • May 12, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

They have replaced all my normal software with this stuff, and it is what I have to use because I do not set up my computer as IT people do it. It includes Office 365 applications such as Excel, Outlook, and Word.

What is most valuable?

They are basically identical.

I could not really say; it is just a system that delivers Excel and Outlook for me, so I had it before, and I have it now. It is just packaged differently; I do not see a difference in terms of that question.

They work sufficiently.

I suppose so; I do not think there are any alternatives. It is a monopoly.

What needs improvement?

It is a pain to use, to be honest.

Always having to log in repeatedly multiple times during the week is frustrating. Not being sure how it is connected to the cloud remains a gray zone.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a couple of years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable, but something is using up a lot of RAM and CPU percentage, so it is slower than it used to be.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I just use my internal people.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I use Google sheets for personal use.

I know Office 365 Excel has functionality, but Google sheets works a bit quicker running on my machine, though my spreadsheets on that system were a bit more simple, so that might be a factor.

What other advice do I have?

I use Polarion.

I have not used it much in the last year.

I have no idea about the installation as it just appears on my computer.

I am just a single user.

The organization has at least 30,000 users.

This review rates Office 365 as six out of ten.

Collaboration and documentation improve project management, but security needs enhancement

  • April 18, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I mostly use Office 365 for project management and reporting. I utilize tools like Excel, Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Suites, and others primarily for collaboration, documentation, and compliance reporting.

What is most valuable?

Office 365 is particularly valuable for collaboration, reporting, and documentation related to compliance. The tools are utilized for project management as well, with Excel, Jira, Confluence, and the Microsoft Suite playing significant roles.

What needs improvement?

When buying an external product, I believe the security is lower. Therefore, there is room for improvement or development internally for better security.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Office 365 for more than ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

From time to time, I face minor issues, but nothing really major has occurred.

How are customer service and support?

I mostly rely on the community for support and have not had any direct contact with Microsoft's technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in the deployment of the tools.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not have a clear understanding of the cost, as I use the tools provided by the customer. I know they are quite expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Office 365 six out of ten. It does the job without much excitement and fits the needs of people due to a lack of alternatives. However, it is known to be quite expensive.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Other
