Although 365 is a form of SaaS (which I very much dislike) it is my opinion that Microsoft always thrives to provide as much value to the service as possible. For me personally this boils down to 1Tb of (reliable) online storage courtesy of OneDrive (which I even use for offsite personal system backups), as well as the somewhat recently added Copilot 365, which also turned out to be quite useful during my Azure evaluations and studies. In addition I'm also very pleased with the expanded functionality of the different Office programs.

The Azure infrastructure is easily accessible for both professionals as well as hobbyists who like to expand their expertise (where I'd like to mention the $200 free credit use, but _also_ the failsafe of not charging credit cards without permission). The portal is easy to navigate and once again: if you're familiar with the consumer 365 environment then the experience will be very similar courtesy of a default UI setup: access to the different apps in the upper left corner, access to different options from there as well and the "admin options" in the lower left corner. I'm also very pleased with the fact that I could ask Copilot 365 about specific Azure features.

Awesome collaboration tool that supports chatting, video calls, audio calls, and more. Beyond the basic collaboration features, it also lets you share files, emojis, and GIFs. The integrations with other tools are by far the most appreciated feature for me, such as JIRA integration, Trello board integration, etc. The deep MS 365 integration within the app allows users to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and MS Notes directly, which makes it feel like a more collaborative platform overall. The UI is very organized and user-friendly, and it reduces cluttered conversations with the help of team-based channels. It also scales really well for large organizations. Security and Compliance, along with Copilot AI integration, help with summarizing meetings, making notes, and creating drafts.
