Collaboration and communication thrive with exceptional integrated tools
What is our primary use case?
Office 365 is mainly used for communication in meetings and utilizing collaborative tools within my organization.
What is most valuable?
Office 365 is a good tool for daily tasks and collaborative activities. We mainly use Microsoft SharePoint, which integrates with other tools to facilitate collaboration such as file sharing among colleagues. Additionally, we use Teams and the email solutions provided within the Office 365 environment. The tool enhances productivity if the team is collaborative, helping us speed up work.
What needs improvement?
There should be RAM optimization related to Teams and desktop applications since they are very RAM hungry. Performance optimization should be prioritized to improve efficiency. Additionally, cost optimization should be considered due to the recent price hikes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Office 365 from 2014 to 2023.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't faced any challenges with the stability of Office 365. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Office 365 is good in terms of scalability. I would rate it between eight and nine.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Office 365 is very easy. I would rate it nine out of ten for ease of setup. The deployment process depends on the internet connection.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of Office 365 has become a bit costlier in the last few years. We manage expenses based on user requirements, but cost optimization should be considered.
What other advice do I have?
Office 365 is user-friendly, especially when working with Windows as it collaborates well with tools. I would highly recommend Office 365 to everyone. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

Struggling to make the machine run without termination
I tried to use this subscription to create an EC2 machine with office installed. But although I reviewed the documentation and made sure to complete all the pre-requisites still the machine did not create. If anyone can comment some suggestion which could assist it will be very helpful.
Thanks

good very much working i think it is a must needed things for the people who are working on the IT field
Office 365 Enterprise
Office 365 is one of my most used applications. I love the way that I can leverage the Cloud capabilities of my Office applications to access from anywhere. I have access from my phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, etc., and it is always easy. Outlook is nice when I do not have access to a laptop or phone (rare), and One Drive is my file collaboration solution. Although I like the functionality of One Drive, it can be frustrating if your IT team goes overboard on security. :) The single-sign-on we utilize at work keeps me signed in to all apps, and the applications load quickly and efficiently. Office 365 plus the 64-bit 2016 versions of the Office desktop applications is a great combination that I could not function without. I use Outlook, One Drive, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Yammer, and Skype for Business every day, so without them, I would be "dead in the water.
What do you like best?
I like how collaborative Office 365 allows me to be on my projects. Currently, a co-author and I are working in real-time on a project. I could see her typing and commentary while I was making corrections to the APA at the bottom of the page. We can also work asynchronously on projects, store them, and return to them. The ability to work in a browser ensures that I can review, make slight edits to the document, print, and then save. As a person who is moving from a campus computer to my computer, to my printer at home, to my office printer at work, this is about as fast as having a flash chip with me at all times, but I never forget it. It also integrates well with Citation software, similar to Word 10. We have a lot of files we share, and I like how easy it is to access from any location I'm at, as long as I'm logged into my university account.
What do you dislike?
One of the things I struggle with regarding Office 365 is what is the real difference between Office 365 and Google Docs/Sheets other than the price and privacy. At my university, Office 365 is free as long as you are a student or a researcher. As soon as I leave the school though, I'll lose access to Office 365, most of the work I've saved on the system. And while it's... nice? to have so much technology (meaning Access and the other programs that come in the suite) I never use Access but I "have to" have it. I wish it integrated better with my Google Calendar so I could have an app on my phone but if that feature is available I don't have it.
Recommendations to others considering the product
If you are going to be a full-time single user of Office 365, this might make sense if it automatically updates to the latest Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher. It would make sense to pay a yearly/monthly fee to continuously have Word rather than having to buy the expensive office suite every few years or so. But, if you don't need to update to the latest software, if you aren't someone who needs Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher to be at their most flexible, and if you get around on Google just fine, I don't know if it makes sense to buy it as a single user. However, for large universities or companies that need flexibility, and collaboration for their employees, then Office 365 might be right for you.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I work on a lot of collaborative research projects and Office 365 lets me share files and reading and work with others. However, I really don't like their "calendar" system integration with Outlook, but I've never liked the Outlook calendar. I always use my Google calendar and I wish there was a way to sync those two, but as far as I know there isn't.
