Microsoft 365

Pros

Office 365 is packed with great software at a great annual price. It's simple to use, but also very powerful. I primarily use Word and PowerPoint for my job and I find it quick, easy and effective. The new feature where PowerPoint makes suggestions to improve your slide is really nice and often spurs ideas in me.

Outlook is a powerful email, contact and calendar that you can use across multiple platforms and share with co-workers and family. One more than one occasion it has helped me remember important dates and appointments as well as keeping on track regarding my work responsibilities.

I don't use excel, but people I know who do speak highly of it and how flexible and powerful it is.

Cons

There is very little about Office 365 I don't like. Outlook could use an aesthetic overhaul in my opinion, but that's a pretty minor gripe for software as powerful as this.

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft 365

Pros

- I have used Microsoft 365 for a while now. What is Microsoft 365? For someone who may not know, Microsoft 365 is a collection of all Microsoft products like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint etc. in one place accessible in the cloud through a subscription plan. Unlike the way in the past, we used to buy a one-time license for this products, Microsoft 365 offers a different way to access the same products in a plan that allows you to get all the latest features and updates in realtime. - I have so many amazing staff to say about the service. However, in this review, I will focus on some of the most awesome features I have recently discovered about Microsoft 365.- In Microsoft Outlook, one of the features is the ability to recall an email. For the longest time, this feature has not been available. It has been like, once you accidentally send an email, there is nothing you can do about it. Right now, there is an option in outlook to recall a message that you regret sending. Another feature related to outlook is the ability to schedule emails to be sent at a particular specified time.- Another important feature I like about Microsoft 365 email functionality is the browser access of emails. I specifically like the loud banging sound that notifies you of a new email. It's hard to miss a new email when the mailer is opened via the browser. I would say this has generally increased my productivity as an employee. I feel like in the past, I used to easily miss emails

Cons

- The subscription based plan of buying Microsoft 365 might be more expensive to other people/organizations as compared the one-time license purchase. - I would also say that is is very easy to underutilize Microsoft 365. There are so many apps for different things which most organizations do not use, either because they lack the proper training on the same or they just do not need the specific functionality in their business.

Pros

Excel is the only part of the office suite I use now

Cons

The office 365 suite is to Expensive and some products are not a good fit for me

Pros

The data storage and document management functions of Microsoft 365 are the most helpful and relevant features. After accidentally losing all my business documents that were saved on my laptop, I decided that I needed a solution to have documents securely saved in one place. Also since I use Microsoft Word and Excel frequently at work, it is beneficial to use Microsoft 365 which keeps the formatting of all my documents. When I used other products like Google Docs, when the file is converted the text, margins, or images may move out of place. Microsoft 365 does not give me this issue, so it great.

Cons

When using Microsoft 365 to collaborate I sometimes have to send a copy of the document using the link because it does not always allow me to share by putting in another user's email address. I have received complaints that the document does not show up in their email inbox.
