Microsoft 365 vs Office 365
Share
Microsoft 365 is a package of existing products under a license, aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises of up to 300 users. The name is similar to the existing Office 365 (and the new name Dynamics 365). But don't get confused, here we present the differences between the two products.
- Office 365: is a cloud service platform, offering known Microsoft products such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneDrive (along with other productivity services) online or local through a subscription plan.
- Microsoft 365 : is an all-in-one package, which includes the Office 365 suite, Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise Mobility Security for a full and interconnected experience.
Small and medium-sized businesses wishing to adopt Office 365 would normally need to buy Windows 10 Pro and subscribe to a phased security service. The organization would also have to make sure that all its users are properly connected and covered by the security subscription.With Microsoft 365, everything is integrated from the beginning. This not only makes it less complicated from the buying perspective, but also makes it easier for end-users to browse. By buying Microsoft's entire ecosystem from the start, companies have the opportunity to save valuable resources and use them to run their operation.
