It’s the best professional level software for any office or school. Very reliable and super user friendly.

I grew up with this software, it was taught to me at school and I thought it was the only way to do things. I was in love with Microsoft 365, its useful, accessible and easy to use tools.

I love that the programs integrate seamlessly and can store files online in the SharePoint platform for ease of use when sharing documents for collaboration.

It's very easy to use and the fact that you are able to not only switch between them very quickly and seamlessly, but the fact that they integrate with one another is amazing.

Overall experience is great start from installing to using and updating yearly in the organisation. It just takes care of its own when it comes to updating which is great.

It is terrible on mobile or even if you just have the admin panel taking up half of your screen. Can be frustrating to work with.

The overall suite is nice to collaborate with fellow employees on specifically Microsoft Teams is amazing for collaboration.

My overall experience is good  I would recommend this program to everyone. I have had a positive experience  with this program.

If I have no internet connection then I an not able to access anything which can be frustrating if I am out somewhere with no connection.

My experience with Microsoft 365 has been great. I really like using the software because it helps me with business letters and eeseach.

It's nice to have a one-stop-shop for all of your needs. That makes it super helpful because it works across platforms.

Non profit pricing is excellent. Love the Office 365 Exchange much better than on-site.

Customer Service is included in the cos,  I have had to call them a couple of times and have been taken care of by a real person and they have resolved whatever issue I was having.

Everything you love about the disk version of Microsoft but in the cloud. Super easy to use, super easy to share - and you can plugin in Grammarly.

I like some of the apps that you can integrate with the system. They are superior and more advanced.

There are many things that I love about this program. The price point is fantastic, especially considering all the resources you get for a small monthly fee.

It's super easy to setup for my employees. I get the peace of mind they are using the best.

And all includen in the same plan. I use it in my work space and its amazing, the flexibility and the integration is amazing.

I like the ease of use of Office 365. It is a great value for the money and helps me keep all of my business information easily accessible.

The auto quarantining is a bit aggressive and sometimes has false positives. As an admin I can release them so no email is lost, but still a bit annoying.

I love that they offer Office 365 for free to use, and I love the ease of most of their apps, such as Microsoft Word, and a few other docs.

Doing the same search query on desktop vs. browser will consistently return different results, which is particularly frustrating. The calendaring system has also gotten worse over the years.

The overall experience has been wonderful. Even the customer support was a pleasant surprise, compared to others.

It was a godsend to have 365 in place, because I was able to move my business out of the office as needed during the more challenging springtime, and now have the option to work from home as desired.

The microsoft suite is amazing because it is compatible with pretty much everything now. Making documents is great because it has review things where you can send things to other people.

Microsoft Support is horrible and it takes an incredibly long time to get through to them if you have a problem.

Overall Microsoft 365 is an amazing product with great features and wonderful customer service.

The customer service staff is amazing and well trained. My experience with Office 365 has been amazing and I will continue using this product.

It’s been a great product and I like having mag programs to get various jobs done. Price point is good and quality is great.

The worst thing would be that its hard to recover lost excel documents as they don't show in recent workbooks.

I love that this program is very easy to use and has lots of functionality. I also love that there is a place to find answers when necessary.

Great suite of products. With Excel, Word, and Outlook being at the forefront of the great softwares that are part of office 365.

Ease of use and the ability to communicate and share your screen with coworkers. Great part of the Office 365 suite.

It is easy to organize files, share certain files with certain people and keep confidential files confidential. The easy drag and drop features allows for document migration to happen quite quickly.

You can have your own OwnCloud server on-premises. SSO authentication and Custom branding make a great integration with internal tools.

It's great to have your storage in house. The piece of mind that you know where your data is at all times is important, but also, nothing beats local for speed.

Experience is overall positive as the benefits typically outweigh any difficulties. Data sovereignty and geo-fencing regulations are some of the main reasons I consider using ownCloud.

Structurized Admin Panel. Perfect for private users and companies with enough money.

Technical ability is mostly required to setup and your system and to update. Auto update is a pain and mostly pushes one to manual process.

I love owncloud, i been there almost since it born, and I'm using it now, actively participating in the community.

When first added, there were a few errors that I had to have my host sort, because I couldn't find any documentation on them for the OwnCloud.

The clients (I use Windows, Linux and Android clients) make it super easy to sync across different devices - set up once and forget about it.

None has been as easy to use and as reliable as ownCloud.

It seems management had some terrible ideas which is why all the mind-share seems to be behind nextcloud these days.

We have had ZERO issues with this software, works great and is also a perfect alternative to store documents that others need to access.

When I implemented ownCloud, it was a neat opensource platform with an active community, with the option of solid support at a fair price.

Good while still community oriented, now a dead-end product.

We used Owncloud as our backup storage of our organization documents. I liked the ease of upload, share and version control.

One had to zip it before uploading which was a little time consuming. But for single files there was no such problem.

Overall the product is good, and a number of addons provide good expanded integration and functionality.

For a free solution it is one of the best choices in the opensource world.

It is your own server so it is the best to secure by your own way.

We're very satisfied with OwnCloud considering the price we pay for it. We're not considering to move out of it in the next coming years.

Controlling your own data, while enjoying much of the benefits of the likes of dropbox or onedrive. Ability to link mobile phones and sync contacts and calendars.

The support costs of the simple ownCloud web interface with drag-drop file uploading were one-time only. Performance was good enough, support was cheap enough, and it was fine for what we used it for.

While I'm sure OC is good for Enterprise clients, our experience was that it was ONLY for enterprise.

Being an Open Source, you can find information on the network, and in this way it can be violated by knowing how it is installed and configured.

The program has a user-friendly interface that makes it simple to save, sync, and share files among many devices.

When it is set up and designed it is entirely strong and does the activity I require it to do.

Overall, we decided to leave OwnCloud in favour of NextCloud. NC has a faster development cycle and seems to listen to the community more when it comes to what they focus their efforts on.

Especially when you then have to share the items, the custom link based of our domain was a nice feature.

Past its prime and headed the wrong direction.

Good service but no other service like nextcloud.

The Website makes the design of the software look very modern, but in reality it is a bit boring.

Multi-language is supported on the web interface but is not available on the desktop client as far as I know.
