Atlas Intranet Collaboration Suite vs Microsoft 365 Comparison

Love the built in Sharepoint site and suite of applications. Extremely powerful communication and collaboration tools are now in the hands of our employees. It seems like the possibilities are endless. We are using SharePoint as an Intranet, Outlook as an email client, and all of the Office apps are accessible through a browser. Customer Support is fantastic and refreshing compared to competitors that have only online knowledge bases.

The settings appear to be everywhere. The dashboard can be intimidating and can use some organizational buckets.

None of the other productivity suites are still anywhere close to the functionality offered by office

Online collaboration tools are far behind those of G Suite, very clunky and laggy

Great tools embedded like Teams and Outlook.

I don't like the way Outlook is automatically structured, it takes some customization to make it better.

Users can create, edit, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and emails.

Microsoft 365 does not include advanced social intranet features, such as social networking, discussion forums, and employee profiles, which may be important for organizations looking to foster collaboration and engagement among employees.

It's ubiquitous in enterprise sales-- so everyone has it and knows how to use it which is one less thing to worry about.

That the collaboration features for multiple users across the suite are not as sophisticated as other solutions.

Collaboration is very easy within the suite of 365 applications.

Might cost more than other software suites that deal with collaboration.

It’s the standard bearer for office work. Excel especially is unmatched by google products, it’s much more powerful, faster and easier to use.

The collaboration isn’t nearly as user friendly as the google suite. Sharing docs and saving is clunky and not always intuitiv

- Cross-platform suite with cloud capabilities - Office 365 solves the problem that MS Office Suite previously had, i.e. collaboration - 1 TB storage area - Good integration with Outlook - Collaboration and emailing with two easy steps

- Not that great with different platforms such as iPad or iPhone - Google doc is free to use - A few glitches when using the software

Office 365 has certainly improved from previous iterations. Word, PowerPoint, and Excel do their jobs well and have added some more in-depth functionality. The other applications such as teams and outlook make day to day collaboration at work easier. It is also nice to have the integration within the suite.

The program is great but some of its competitors offer many of the same things for cheaper or even free. Office 365, I think, will continue to be a staple in the workforce but sometimes the creators seem to get so caught up in the nitty-gritty details that they forget to make the simple, daily, tasks a little more intuitive.

Office 365 provides are suite of productivity and collaboration applications for creating content, storing that content, sharing with others for purpose of collaboration.

Because it is SaSS, the features are continuously updated and improved, requiring that you always have to keep up-to-date on these changes.

Love the fact that there are now online versions of the classic Microsoft suite that makes it more convenient.

In terms of collaboration, most of the people I know still defaults to using Google Suite of document collobaration tools as it is free.

Was using 365 before moving to G-suite and now back with 365. Needless to say, I miss G-Suite immensely. 365 is difficult to use, not very intuitive, and overall a poor UX.

Poor UX, difficult to configure and navigate. It is complex in setting up and also difficult to integrate to 3rd party applications.

All of my files and data are synced using OneDrive. I save everything to my one drive and it is on all of my devices. The user interface is beautiful and Microsoft continues to make it better and better with each release. The ribbons and buttons are all self explanatory and intuitive.

Outlook is still a little klunky. It hasn't changed much over the years so there are still things that just aren't efficient (location of the Send button), the Check Names button is unnecessary (why can't it just search the directory as I type??), why do I have to compose a message in order to get to the screen that allows me to edit/modify my Signatures.

* Real-Time Co-Authoring * Complete Office tools and applications are accessible from anywhere * Upto 1 TB of Online storage to save presentation, videos and other important documents

Over all its office 365 is great product and has many features only con is Some times slow response times and system hangs

Ability to collaborate with co-workers at multiple levels e.g. document editing/sharing, IM/chat, email, intranet, Teams for real time collaboration like slack, Integration with SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Azure Active Directory. In my opinion, this is the best collaboration and productivity service in the market.

Nothing in particular for the use cases in consideration

I have used Microsoft 365 at multiple jobs and think that they are some of the best tools on the market. I like the collaboration of Google Drive but I also prefer the Microsoft tool (word, excel, PowerPoint) to the Google counterpart or other knock-offs

The price is pretty expensive of course. And although the tools are better, there isn't really great collaboration tools available within the office suite compared to Google.

Compatibility for MS Office documents in the cloud is nice to have, we have access to 365 via our Office licenses and use it sporadically when browser-based is our only option.

Missing the capabilities of G Suite for collaboration and runs sluggish comparatively. As well, it's stripped down compared to full Office. It basically is cloud-based, but without the cloud-based power of G Suite and without the features of desktop office.

What I like the most about Office 365 is having the full range of the most updated software for the Microsoft Office Suite. Unlike buying the software one-time, you can pay a small cost each month to have the latest and greatest version of the tools you use on a daily basis.

What I did not like about the software was that it was lacking in collaboration as compared to Google Sheets, which allows you to view and edit documents at the same time as others.

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

The lack of third party integration is really missing and hurting this Microsoft really needs to open it up and not be a Monopoly with their software.

Using the same old office suite with new collaboration options with a wide range of applications to choose from

Still as complicated as the old one and there's a lot of features and apps that are useless and obsolte

It's pretty easy to use if you're familiar with the classic Office suite. Easy collaboration on the basic level. Lots of collaboration features if you want to go the advanced route.

When you start adding on Sharepoint, it can get a little wonky and need special setup for a pro to get it configured like you want it.

Word and Excel are fully functional and collaborative, which I appreciate. Google Sheets pales in comparison to straight up Excel functionality. I mainly use 365 for PowerBI, which is one of my favorite tools EVER. Just a great, simple way to share information and vital statistics.

Really depends on what product within the suite you are using. For instance, I find the PowerPoint client on 365 to be absolutely useless. Sharing and collaboration tools are not as intuitive as G-Suite Products. PowerBI requires some work on the administrator's side to get running.

The integration of all of the products in the suite combined with the collaboration make Office 365 a strong competitor.

Conversion from on prem can be a nightmare.

It is very powerful and convenient software suite. You can do real time collaboration in word and powerpoint which is super cool.

Some of the mobile versions of this software seems to be slightly underpowered.

Office 365 gives the best overall user experience for business professionals and even personal home use. It has all of the standard items that you need for home or business computing. The best part is knowing that you can purchase a single item and it brings all of the software you need instead of chasing after individual items.

The only area I think could use work is the collaboration portion within the office suite. For example, in Google Docs you can have multiple people working simultaneously on the same sheet at the same time and the experience is very nice. It isn't as good in the office suite.
