Yes, I am a big proponent of "do it yourself IT" and open source but, sometimes, you reach a point in the growth of a business where it just makes sense to put certain things in the cloud.
I'm looking at various online collaboration suites (i.e. Google Apps, Zoho, Bitrix24, etc) and decided to give Office 365 a look.
The business level plans are actually quite well priced:

At $5 per user per month, the full suite of collaborative services and full online version of Office makes this offering very attractive. It also lets me move my email into the cloud using my own domain name with 50GB of email storage per user. The suite offers1 TB of document storage per user, IM and HD video conferencing, an intranet site for teams and corporate social network. The only thing missing is a CRM, which some of the other suites like Zoho and Bitrix24 have.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this product? I'd like to get some opinions.
