However, if you've never been a software admin and you don't have the time to learn about the admin portal – or if you have a very small team that doesn't need all of the cloud services Microsoft offers – you may be better off checking out alternatives such as Google's G Suite. Microsoft rolls out updates regularly, and the Office 365 admin portal makes it easy to manage user permissions and enforce updates. Small business owners like Office 365 because it's affordable and comes with lots of extras. Office 365 is a subscription-based cloud version of Microsoft Office that also offers access to cloud tools such as OneDrive, Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams.
