How do you like the built-in spam protection with O365? Does it do a good job to prevent spoofing and malicious links?

It does an excellent job here. The only spam I get is junk I signed up for, ha ha.

Do you use eDiscovery functionalities of O365 at all? If so, how do you like it?

I assume if something gets stuck that was legit you can go in and release it like with most spam filters?

It's not bad. I still get way too much though.

It looks like you get Skype for Business with the E3 plan for meetings / video chats / screen sharing. Do I have that right?

Do you use eDiscovery functionalities of O365 at all? If so, how do you like it?
I know we do use it, but I don't have access to it, so I can't help you there.

What about effort it took to get your environment to O365? Were there any big tweaks to AD needed? I had a reseller tell me they normally have to do 8 or more hours of work to AD to get things "working."

I didnt have any trouble getting my AD tied to O365. I use the DIR Sync for accounts and passwords, no ADFS, no Single Sign on.

What is in it for the partner, then?

This environment was already set up. We just use the DirSync tool at my last employer.

Yes, but last I knew regular old Skype was way better than SfB. We had nothing but trouble with it, but it was pretty early on. Things may have gotten better since we abandoned SfB.

MS perks. Sadly, not as many as there were at the onset.

Yes, sadly it comes with that crap.

AD does not get touched. You just run a sync tool to sync your AD to Azure AD.
Don't even talk to resellers, there is no value in it. Nothing that they tell you is about O365, it's about themselves. There is no "process" to get AD working, you just install the sync and you are done.

Do you guys use the MS Teams chat-based workspace?

Getting a customer, nothing else. It's not a money making scheme, it's just a way to get your name in front of customers.

It doesn't exist for us yet. We tend to get these products months after MS is advertising them as being on the market.

Wow. I'm glad I asked.
