About Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365, formerly Office 365, is a cloud collaboration tool that provides a private and secure space to store, share and edit files and documents, to connect dispersed teams using shared calendars, messaging and conferencing tools, and to improve your brand experience using branded emails and online websites.
The business class email provided by Microsoft 365 allows for 50 GB of storage per user and the ability to send messages of up to 25 MB. This enables you to send images within emails and to apply custom formatting. You can customize your inbox rules and notifications, and update your calendar and to-do list, to help prioritize tasks. Communicate with colleagues more effectively with online availability statuses to instigate online chat, instant messaging tools and one-to-one, or one-to-many voice and video calling.
Microsoft 365 provides collaboration and knowledge sharing tools for both internal and external purposes. You can allow external project stakeholders and clients to access documents, and create project-specific mailboxes and websites for specific teams, complete with automatic policies and rights protection.
You can also use Microsoft 365 to build blogs and wikis for further knowledge sharing, as well as assigning tasks to team members and tracking tasks on a timeline. Enterprise plans for Microsoft 365 provide social networking tools to further enhance communication and collaboration.

Pros
What I like most about Microsoft 365 is the large number of tools that this suite offers us, and the connection that exists between them, that is, we have everything at hand without the need to use third-party tools.
Cons
The tool is super complete, but I really consider it a little high in terms of cost

My overall experience with Microsoft 365 has been positive. The software is great for single or multiple users. It's a must-have for teachers and students. Instead of having multiple programs installed on your PC, Microsoft 365 gives you everything in one package.
Pros
I have been using Microsoft 365 for the past 5 or so years. It's a great program that includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and so many more. I like that I'm not required to download each program within 365 on my PC. If you're low on storage space, this is exactly what you need. As long as you have an internet browser, you can access everything Microsoft 365 provides. I also like that you can download 365 on multiple PCs with one account. If you use multiple devices, you don't have to buy a subscription for each one. Microsoft 365 also automatically saves your work in case you lose power or the internet. You can easily start a project on one device and pick right up on another. I like the ability to share your work and allow others to make changes or add to your project. This is great for teachers. If a student is working on an assignment, the teacher can view what they are working on and give them comments in real-time.
Cons
I have been using Microsoft 365 for a few years now and I have never had any problems. Everything has worked flawlessly.

Overall the experience was quite standard, but the price of the product was a bit too steep to continue forward with Microsoft.
Pros
Single Sign On, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Outlook are the best things to come out of MS 365.
Cons
The cost of MS/O365 was too great, and we had to venture towards other options.

During the time I used Microsoft 365, I felt I needed the advanced features and application offerings that it provided. However, in hindsight, I can see that, apart from Microsoft's continued dominance in its office application products, other software companies can equal what Microsoft offers.
Pros
Once the administration side has been navigated and Microsoft 365 is installed correctly, it is an excellent product and allows you to work on and collaborate on a very wide variety of projects.
Cons
Microsoft 365 has a steep learning curve to navigate with user setup and account control. Support is available. However, support staff tend to talk down to you and don't tolerate non-initiated Microsoft users easily.
