Introduction

• Microsoft 365 and Office 365 are two different
  products of Microsoft, often confused by the
  users. The most probable reason can be the
  similarity of names. Both the products assist in
  organisational operations on the cloud, yet there
  are several differences in their offerings. So
  lets delve deep into what these two Microsoft
  products are and how different or the same the
  two are.

Office 365

• Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of apps and
  services to enhance business productivity and
  efficiency. Microsoft launched this Software as a
  Service (SaaS) in 2011. It is a
  subscription-based suite of applications and
  services which is pocket-friendly and convenient.
  Office 365 includes several conventional
  Microsoft desktop applications like Microsoft
  Outlook, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc., alongside
  other functionalities. In addition, it offers
  online services for file storage and team
  communication and collaboration. Depending on the
  plan and subscription offered by your CSP, your
  Office 365 package may include, Planner, Yammer,
  Teams, Skype for Business, Sharepoint, One Drive,
  etc.

Microsoft 365

• Microsoft 365 is by far the most widely adopted
  Microsoft product, with over 145 million active
  users. It is one of the top cloud solutions in
  the market widely adopted in healthcare, finance,
  manufacturing and consulting services. At 82,
  the financial services industry is the fourth
  largest industry to have adopted Microsoft 365.
  Microsoft 365 was first launched in 2017. It is a
  bundle of services offered by Microsoft,
  encompassing Office 365, Windows 10 and EMS
  (Enterprise Mobility Security). The services
  provided by Microsoft 365 are also available as
  separate licenses. Like Office 365, Microsoft 365
  too comes in different subscription plans for
  users.

Office 365 Vs Microsoft 365

• From 21st April, 2021, Microsoft officially
  rebranded Office 365 as Microsoft 365 for
  specific small and medium businesses. However,
  this move should not be perceived as old wine in
  a new bottle scenario. Instead, the objective was
  to provide a single complete productivity
  platform for the users without making any
  substantial changes to their subscribed packages
  since 21st April. The fundamental difference
  between Office 365 and Microsoft 365 is that the
  latter is a more enhanced version of the former.
  It has security tools and the latest OS as
  add-ons.

• The earlier versions of Microsoft Office (2013,
  2016, 2019) were software suites for upfront
  purchase with a one-time license. You could
  install it on your computer and use it for life.
  For updates again, one has to buy the latest
  version to access all the features. Eventually,
  Office shifted to the subscription-based model.
  Office 365 can be availed from home users to
  enterprise packages on a subscription basis.
• Microsoft 365 requires a monthly or annual
  subscription for users to access all the tools
  and services hosted on the Microsoft servers. It
  also includes an online version of Office 365.
  So, it is unnecessary to install the Office
  package physically on your system. The users
  always have access to the latest features and
  services as Microsoft keeps updating the platform.

Why is Microsoft 365 Growing in Popularity?

• With several options for all-in-one subscriptions
  offering Microsoft Cloud services, Microsoft
  Office and Windows 10 operating system, Microsoft
  365 is rapidly becoming the obvious choice for
  most organisations. Some other factors that make
  it more appealing to businesses include
• Security and compatibility
• Auto-updates for the latest features and
  services
• Ease of access from anywhere any time
• Better team collaboration and sharing tools
• Enhanced desktop functionality while easing off
  IT maintenance burden
• AI capabilities for better user experience

• Besides all these benefits, there are two
  significant cons involved in choosing Microsoft
  365. First, to work with Microsoft 365, you have
  to have a steady internet connection no
  connectivity means no work. Also, you may incur
  costly system upgrades before migration if your
  system is not compatible with Microsoft 365.
