With a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team.
We use Huddle to store important team files. With a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team. This helps us keep files up to date, as well as to streamline projects For file sharing, we were working on a pitch for a European-based client and our team was broken…

Comprehensive cloud tools have unified identity security and device management for my clients
I would suggest a lower cost for my clients because Microsoft 365 has many other licenses that provide different types of features. Microsoft 365 Business covers most of their requirements, and for the other parts, they use other third-party tools for cybersecurity. Although Microsoft 365 Business offers some cybersecurity features, it does not offer everything, such as endpoint detection response and mitigation. For those, clients need to buy a higher version of a license, such as Enterprise E1 or E5. I think Microsoft 365 Business can be improved if it adds more features such as endpoint detection or more features from Microsoft Defender, including cloud app security. With cloud app security, the application status or application logs can be monitored. Currently, cloud app security is not part of Microsoft 365 Business. You have to purchase a standalone license for that. If that can be added, it can increase the volume of purchases for Microsoft 365 Business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use Huddle to store important team files, and with a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team, helping us keep files up to date and streamline projects."
"We've found the stability to be very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a complete tool."
"We can access it from anywhere. We can access it from home, the office, or any other place. It is a simple and the right product for the current COVID situation."
"Our entire company uses this solution — roughly 25,000 people."
"I have been pleased with the product's capabilities and enjoy using it for work."
"I rate Microsoft 365 Business a 10 out of 10."
"What was most valuable for me was how simple this solution is to start using."
 

Cons

"I think the navigation from project to project could be improved, but other than that, nothing I would add."
"Tech support is not that feasible. The Microsoft team is not easily accessible."
"We would like to see the solution use more artificial intelligence bots in future releases."
"The cost is not perfect."
"The Teams feature should be more flexible in integrating with other communications products."
"Business 365 could potentially affect compliance with local and industry-specific regulations."
"Pricing could always be cheaper."
"Upgrading from the old version to the new version of Microsoft Teams created a lot of issues for small companies and larger enterprises."
"If Business 365's documentation were better, then the user could read it and fix their issues by themselves. Microsoft could also add some more detailed pop-up troubleshooting messages. When a user has a problem, the messages they get don't help much."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
"The organization is responsible for the license."
"We pay a monthly subscription fee for the license."
"The price of the Microsoft 365 Business is fair. It is a great suite of products, but then there are other great products on the market as well. The main concern is competition. With Microsoft generally, it comes down to what people have become familiar with, what people have grown up using when they were younger, and when they are older. It depends on the actual adoption of the environment that they work in. The price is not an issue, it is about what people are used to using, and what they are familiar with is what influences their purchase."
"It is certainly expensive, but you need it, so you pay for it. There is not much price negotiation, but the product is good. We're going to keep using it despite it being expensive. There isn't any good alternative."
"The licensing costs are not expensive."
"The licenses could be cheaper."
"We pay regular licensing fees to continue using Microsoft 365 Business."
