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.

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.

Improving the search feature would indeed be a significant enhancement. For administrators, maintaining an orderly structure with clear and stable admin panels is crucial. It streamlines their tasks and ensures efficient management.
Pros
The tool’s integration with data and information management is excellent. As a leader, it’s easy to use because you’ve been using it for many, many years, and everyone else uses it too.
Cons
For administrators, it’s a nightmare. Every month, M365 developers change dashboards and configuration panel, names and locations. It’s common to find two versions (old and new) with different features, options, names, and locations.

Awesome Product with an Occasional Minor Annoyance

Microsoft 365 is a great addition to any company. Their collaboration tools are great, they have apps for pretty much any operating system, but, if your operating system somehow doesn't have Microsoft 365 apps, it can also be used via the web. However, there is one small setback that can get annoying. Sometimes, Microsoft updates one of the apps, and pretty much forces the upgrade to the new app. The new apps often have major differences that, for less tech savvy users, can take sometimes take a while to get used to.
Pros
Microsoft 365 has great collaboration tools, cross-platform support, regular updates, security, and offline access.
Cons
Microsoft 365 has some apps that update sometimes, and they are completely different from how they were, making it hard to get used to them sometimes.
