Everything just talks to each other without a lot of setup headaches. OneDrive syncing has been reliable for the most part, and being able to access files from any device has been a real quality-of-life improvement. It's hard to imagine going back to managing everything locally. > > **Cons**: However, the prices seem to be slightly intimidating when using them per person in case of a bigger team since they accumulate very quickly. Certain capabilities may be hidden in menus or can be used exclusively by the users of higher-paid versions, which is somewhat disappointing for those who expect the full range of functionality. Occasionally occurring mandatory upgrades interrupted my work. > > On the whole, Microsoft 365 delivers on its promises. All information stays structured and available to access wherever I may be working from. You have to learn how to make use of all of its features, but after getting past that learning period, you'll find yourself comfortable using it. I would suggest it for most companies as long as you're willing to stick with its ecosystem. ----- ### "Microsoft 365 is the way to go\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brooks** | *17 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The email management, file sharing, document management and spam filtering is value for money. I love the great customer support and ease of use. > > **Cons**: I truly don’t have any compliments about Microsoft 365. It is so easy to use and very informative for everybody. > > I was able to do reports, send emails and do spreadsheets for work with no issues whatsoever. No bugs and issues. ----- ### "Great program" — 5.0/5 > **Lela** | *1 May 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lots of pros for Microsoft 365 from word to excel spreadsheets. Great software for all your needs. Whether it be document prep or a spreadsheet or even PowerPoint. > > **Cons**: The only con that i know of is it's a little costly for a subscription whether it be monthly or yearly. > > Pretty great experience with Microsoft 365 from word to excel or even power point, whatever your needs may be. ----- ### "Still not polished enough, but great value for money" — 4.0/5 > **Fernando** | *2 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Impressive feature set, from simple to very complex, with an excellent value for the money. Good integration with new technologies, like cloud for file storage and file sharing, and a variety of systems to use it (Mac, Windows, Web, Android) > > **Cons**: When a bug appears, it takes a lot of time to get fixed. Some implementations are very old and should be removed. Some features need proper implementation in newer systems. UI is a mixed bag of new and old technologies. > > I started using Office when Office didn't exist. Separate programs, like Word, in the DOS era. It grew, consolidated into a bunch of separate programs that talked with OLE (God save us\!). Nowadays, the experience across the suite is much smoother, but there are a lot of rough edges to fix. For example, PowerQuery is a nice addition, but it needs to be polished a lot so the integration with Excel is better. Things like everyday work while moving the cursor are a pain if you are not accustomed to (try to move the cursor to edit a formula and you'll get mixed results). Microsoft needs to continue optimizing the interface, removing old features that no one uses, maybe using a plugin system, and consolidating the interface. Outlook is a good example of what Microsoft needs to do (create a new Outlook from scratch), but using the wrong way (removing useful features). As of today, if you switch from Classic to New Outlook, you'll miss lots of features, and you'll feel like a Guinea pig because Microsoft uses you to do the testing, adding or removing features. We are now everyday beta testers without that name. ----- ### "Single login for numerous products" — 5.0/5 > **Barry** | *6 April 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like the ease of use, the fact that I can use a single login to access numerous MS products. > > **Cons**: No downsides so far, the product suite is easy to use and allows access to all of the MS products. Very helpful. > > Great to have easy access to the suite of related productivity tools. The product suite is easy to use and allows access to all of the MS products. ----- Page: 1 / 565\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/397757/office-365?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/397757/office-365) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
