Jitender Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principle Consultant at Akaal Cyber Solutions
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.

An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use."
"It is easy to use."
"Using the tools provided by Microsoft 365 Business has made the people in our company more collaborative."
"Both stability and performance are valuable features, and the user experience is pretty good on all this."
"I don't have any issues with Microsoft 365 Business, it's a good tool."
"The solution has pretty good security baked in."
"Microsoft offers many features; when one buys a Microsoft license, he pays for everything inclusively, including Windows, Office, databases, BI and other Microsoft solutions, and everything is visible."
"Microsoft 365 is like a Swiss army knife; you can do pretty much everything you need for a company with it all in one compatible package without deploying multiple solutions."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
"Scalefusion has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform and has made it much easier to achieve our goals efficiently by eliminating tedious work and cumbersome processes."
 

Cons

"Business 365 could potentially affect compliance with local and industry-specific regulations."
"If Microsoft could offer more support, that would be ideal."
"The dashboard is an area of improvement."
"One thing we did not like, about Excel particularly, is that it hangs a lot. It hangs a lot compared to Google Sheets."
"Sometimes we have trouble with the updates that are released."
"The parts of the product that can be improved are the Forms and Flow features. They can be more intuitive and productive."
"If they offered more integration capabilities, that would be ideal."
"Technical support could be a bit better. It's an aspect Microsoft could improve upon."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have no issues with the pricing and licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Pricing can always be improved."
"It is expensive, and its price can be better."
"I find the pricing of Microsoft 365 Business to be reasonable."
"Our licensing is annual. We have a Volume Licensing deal with them."
"With Microsoft 365 Business, the prices are cheaper if you opt to pay yearly towards the licensing costs rather than monthly."
"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."
"Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
