A Detailed License Comparison Of Office 365 Features

Introduction 

 

In IT, everything is moving towards the cloud nowadays. Any service people use from Microsoft, Amazon, or Google, that supports this trend because many companies have started using a cloud-based application. For a System Admin/business, it is hard to determine which is the right solution or software for their company, that covers all the features they are looking for. Most of the cloud-based applications come at a monthly/yearly subscription.

 

In this article, I have combined the comparison of all the features of different Office 365 versions. Office 365 is Microsoft's cloud-based office solution that includes multiple features for day to day use.
