Microsoft 365

I think the best thing is just how everything kinda fits together. Like, I don't need a bunch of logins for different tools or waste time moving stuff back and forth, it's all right there. If I need to grab some numbers from excel and throw them into a PPT for a meeting, that's done in a few clicks, nothing complicated. Same goes for jotting down notes in OneNote and having them handy whenever I need them. I really appreciate how easy it is to organize my emails in Outlook, especially when there's a ton of updates flying in from different teams. It keeps things tidy and I can always find what I need. All those features save a lot of time, sometimes I barely notice how much work gets done because all the little tasks just flow better. It just makes my day feel less hectic, honestly.

Easily accessible from any device so long as you remember your credentials and they remain valid. Fairly simply connection to a wide variety of other services that doesn't require you to be operating within a Microsoft Application.

I absolutely love being able to create my own pages for different divisions, teams, projects, or initiatives. Microsoft's SharePoint platform is very intuitive and I can reach out to the Microsoft support team for guidance on creating new pages, editing existing pages, and overhauling old pages to align with my organization's brand guidelines.

To be honest, there's nothing major that bugs me. But if I had to pick: Sometimes, the sync between OneNote from desktop to mobile is a bit slow, so I end up refreshing a bunch till it finally synced. Secondly, Excel crashes once in a while when I'm working with bigger files, especially during heavy reporting weeks. It's not frequent, but when it happens, I lose a couple of minutes reopening everything again. Lastly, Outlook's search is kind of a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it just doesn't pull up the right emails, even if I know for sure the name or keyword's there. I end up scrolling through the folders manually more often than I'd like.

Microsoft 365 lacks an intuitive design on the functionality/UX side, and easy access to features common to many other document management solutions (even those also offered by the same company). It really makes you wonder why you would be using 365 when there are other options from Microsoft better suited to document management tasks.

1) Version control - it can be very tricky to find the most recent version of a document in my SharePoint folder when there are multiple versions saved with very similar names. I have tried instituting a naming convention, but it is not always followed by my colleagues. 2) The SharePoint design options are rather limited, making the pages look somewhat dated, but still very functional. 3) If I move a file from one location to another, it will break the links for anyone who has the original file saved, causing issues. I wish there was a way to update the file location without causing disruptions in where and how it is saved.
