What I like most is how Microsoft 365 brings my day-to-day work into one place, so I’m not juggling apps all day. Outlook handles email and calendar, Teams covers chat and meetings, OneDrive and SharePoint keep files organized, and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint take care of documents—all connected under the same sign-in. I can open a file in OneDrive, co-edit it with a teammate while we’re chatting in Teams, and then send a quick calendar invite without having to constantly context-switch. Overall it feels smoother than it used to; performance is better than a few years back, and small touches like presence and commenting across apps make collaboration feel natural instead of forced.
Getting set up on new machines is straightforward for me. I sign in, policies apply, and my mail, files, and apps sync down. I’m not spending a whole morning tweaking settings; most of the time it works out of the box. File sharing is cleaner too: I send links within the org, permissions carry over, and we avoid the old problem of five different versions floating around. When I move between devices—desktop to web to mobile—the experience stays consistent enough that I don’t lose my place. That ease of implementation is real, and it saves me time every quarter when we refresh laptops.
Feature-wise, it’s packed but still usable. Co-authoring in Word and Excel is a big win, comments and track changes feel less messy, and version history has saved me more than once when someone edits the wrong thing. Teams meetings with screen sharing and captions are solid, Outlook rules and delay send help keep client mail tidy, and Power Automate lets me set up quick flows to cut manual steps, like filing attachments or pinging a channel when a doc changes. Search across mail and files has improved—still not perfect, but good enough that I can find an old deck or thread quickly. The real value is the integration across apps: it keeps me moving without glue code or a dozen extensions. I’m in Microsoft 365 basically every workday, and it feels like far less friction than trying to stitch together a bunch of separate tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don’t have many dislikes, but I do want to call out the occasional sign-in loop or sync hiccup. Every so often, OneDrive gets stuck and a file will show as syncing forever until I quit the app and restart it, and then it clears. I’ve also had rare moments where licensing checks keep nagging even though I’m already signed in; again, a restart usually fixes it. Updates can sometimes shuffle a button or menu around, which steals a few minutes while I relearn where a setting moved. None of this is a deal breaker for me—just small bumps that tend to show up at the wrong time, make me sigh, and then I keep going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
