Microsoft 365 apps
Microsoft 365 subscription includes a wide range of useful programs designed to simplify all productive activities at work, at home and on the go. Let's take a look at the main software features.
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is a text editor for working with text documents. Its enhanced features now allow you to translate text into a foreign language, check grammar and spelling, and find resources for your essay if you are a student. You can also enhance your documents with pictures, various fonts or graphs, or practical charts from Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet tool that allows you to import any data, analyse it and create a handy chart or table. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced users, and thanks to ready-made templates and intuitive functions, it will save you plenty of time.

If you work with large amounts of data, you should consider using Microsoft Access instead, as it focuses on database management. You can also use it to create highly functional business applications to support you company's growth.
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular tool for preparing presentations for any situation. Easy templates, animations and transitions mean the tool can be easily mastered by almost any user and it's an effective way to capture and keep your audience's attention. The voice recording function for instance allows teachers to prepare engaging remote schooling lessons for their students, but the range of possible uses is of course much broader.
While PowerPoint lets you create dazzling presentations, Microsoft Publisher specialises in easy creation of posters, greeting cards, or other graphic designs.
Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Outlook is a useful combo of a personal e-mail client, calendar, and contacts. It also includes a free app for iOS and Android, ensuring you can take your communication and work always with you. Microsoft Outlook can even secure and encrypt your e-mails to protect your data.
Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft OneDrive is a secure cloud storage for all your important data that you frequently access or simply don't want to lose. It allows you to work on a document from anywhere or share it with a colleague and work on it together at the same time - just share the link with them and you're done.
i
The cloud storage also offers OneDrive Personal Vault protected area where you can store your most important or sensitive files and photos.
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a great app for collaboration between multiple people. Allows you to create group meetings, calls and chats with a complete overview of all shared files. In addition, you can work on all documents together in real time.
For communication with family and friends, we recommend Microsoft Skype, which offers free chat and voice and video calls from your PC, smartphone and Xbox game console.

Microsoft 365 special licences
Microsoft also offers special office suites for schools and large enterprises. These comprehensive subscription plans guarantee Microsoft 365 apps for every teacher, student or employee. In addition, companies can get data analysis and extra security programs, and schools can get Minecraft: Education Edition.
Large Enterprise Licences - Microsoft 365 vs. Office 365
The existing Office 365 line of subscription services is now aimed exclusively at large businesses and organisations - mainly Office 365 E1, E3 and E5 plans - but they also have a Microsoft 365 equivalent. Microsoft 365 plans offer several additional services as well, such as Microsoft Intune Workplace Management, enhanced Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows Analytics, advanced security, and more.

Are you a college or university student? Before purchasing a licence, make sure your institution does not offer Microsoft 365 for free.
Microsoft 365 vs. Microsoft Office 2019
In addition to the one-year subscription plan, Microsoft also offers a one-time licence called Microsoft Office 2019. The price is higher, but you get permanent ownership. However, the disadvantage is the lack of updates (you only get security updates instead of brand-new features) and OneDrive cloud storage.
