High maintenance price

Too much money for renewals. we should not have to buy it again each year after original purchase. Have been doing this for too many years-like paying a ransom.

If my daughter did not need this I would never buy Microsoft again.
I had a subscription and whoops forgot to renew, so one notice a couple weeks before it expired and then poof it is gone. So i renewed and then when I went in to use it, nothing would work. Talking to Microsoft, they said this was an issue and there was nothing they could do about it.
As has been my experience, they offer product, we buy it and end up being beta testers as there are problems after problems. Horrible customer service, did not resolve the problem and when I got my refund, did not get all of my money back.
Makes my decision easy on whether to buy a Mac now. Will be trying to move away from anything Microsoft.

I still have not been able to share with my other four family members. Very hard to understand the instructions.

I am very happy with the Office 365 update. I bought it when I bought a new laptop, and since it can be loaded on up to 5 computers, I also installed it on my work desktop computer. The cloud storage that is included makes it very easy to work away from the office on my laptop.

I like the mobility of Office365, and capability of five devices for one household. We travel a lot and this flexibility on five devices is great! Had difficulties loading it this time, but reached out to Microsoft and they solved the problem

I've been using Office 365 Home for years now. It's a great product that gives me easy access to work on home projects without having to pay a ton of money for each and every device I own.
Highly recommended.

I could not get subscription to work, would not let me use word or any other programs. Sent me back to subscription page. Kept saying I had already used code. Could not get correct code or one I had to work.

...however, not real happy that Microsoft will now want me to pay up EVERY year. I was in a rush, and had college bound daughter with me so I bought this. I know the product is great, but really - EVERY year ?

The new microsoft products have a nice look and smooth functionality. Not a big learning curve from previous incarnations. New outlook is not as adaptable as older incarnation (no pop3 options for gmail).

Just not worth the yearly fee
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We purchased this and installed the product on multiple devices. In the year, we have used this product less than a dozen times. Primarily on our personal computer and even then, the constant tweaks have made the changes SO very irritating to use this product's applications!
We have been using iMac since 2010 when our IBM compatible pc hard drive failed and lost all our data. ( and not the first time, either! ) We do not have the money to waste on yearly subscriptions and the product tweaks are just window dressing anyway. From the previous reviews we have read and personal experience, we do not trust digital licenses. We would rather have the physical media on hand, in our home library. We like Microsoft but not enough to waste our money on paying a yearly usage fee.

Office 365 is embarrassing for Microsoft. It isn't even in the same universe as Office Professional, my last version 2013. There are numerous bugs that prevent it from operating like the older version.
1. It will not hold formatting when you have set your template in Word. It reverts back to the original format even after one has set the change as "default".
2. It will not allow words to be added to the Dictionary. For example, the book of the Bible, Hebrews, must be capitalized but Word 365 wants to change the spelling. The capital version cannot be added easily as in Word 2013.
3. I work in two languages all the time. In Word 2013, once I had set the program to recognize the language it worked flawlessly. But in Word 365, it does not matter on what language the default is set, it will revert back to the other language at inopportune times specially when cutting and pasting. Very frustrating.
I spend more time formatting my document than in creating it. Never happened in Word 2013.
Technical support is or should be highly embarrassing to Microsoft. I began my quest to fix Word 365 or find a solution via Microsoft technical support chat. NO RESOLUTION!!!!
I then managed to finally talk to a live person, after multiple calls and a lengthy time on hold. The first person could not resolve the issues and when they told me I was being transferred to someone they said could solve the problem, I was disconnected.
This is been a highly disappointing experience for me even after using Microsoft Office for over 20 years. Seriously considering using WordPerfect or another program.

At first I thought it was going to be a big adjustment from the software that was on my computer, but it's just as easy on the web. I would recommend this product.

Excellent Subscription for the Price

We have had this plan now since 2018. Its a great plan with alot bundled into the package for the pricing. The oblu issue I have is the setting up of a domain name woth GoDaddy to Microsoft Office, which GoDaddy’s interface just does not work well.. I know there are other viable solutions, therefore, I wouldnt let this be a deciding factor on purchasing.
