Microsoft 365 vs. Office 365: What’s the difference?

There is a lot to be said for consistency in product names, but when you have dozens of products with multiple versions of each, similar names can get confusing fast. Yes, Microsoft we are referring to you …

Microsoft introduced Microsoft 365, a bundle of existing products under one license. The name is similar to the already existing Office 365 (and the recently renamed Dynamics 365). In fact, a lot of people already inadvertently called Office 365 by the name of Microsoft 365.

So, it’s easy to see how the two products can be confused. It gets even more confusing when you learn Microsoft 365 includes Office 365.

Let’s break down the differences:

The Short Version

Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of productivity apps like Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and more. Microsoft 365 is a bundle of services including Office 365, plus several other services including Windows 10 Enterprise.

The Long Version

Office 365

Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of apps and services centred around business productivity. It includes some apps you’re probably already familiar with like Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Skype for Business, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, along with robust productivity, collaboration, and security features. 

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is a bundle of services that includes Office 365. It also includes Windows 10 Enterprise, Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS), and machine learning. As the title implies, it’s more geared towards larger organisations that wants a single, secure platform with which to share and collaborate. It includes strong data security features on top of Windows 10 Pro and Office 365.

What’s included in Microsoft 365 in comparison to Office 365?

Both products come with the ability to have fully installed Office applications on tablets, phones and PCs, as well as the web browser versions. You get 1TB of personal file storage, as well as business class email and calendars. You also have access to Skype for Business for instant messaging and video calling, as well as Microsoft Teams and other new tools like Delve and Planner.

The differences begin with device management. Unlike Office 365, Microsoft 365 comes with a single console to manage users and devices. You can also automatically deploy Office applications to Windows 10 PCs.

The security tools are also missing from Office 365. The alternative comes with the ability to protect data across devices and secure access. You can also protect Windows 10 devices from risks such as malware with Windows Defender.

Microsoft 365 vs. Office 365: Wat is die verskil?

Konsekwentheid van produkname is belangrik as jy nie jou kliënte wil verwar nie, maar as jy veelvuldige produkte met verskeie weergawes het, kan dinge begin deurmekaar raak. Ja, Microsoft, ons kyk na jou…

Microsoft het Microsoft 365, ’n groep bestaande produkte, onder een lisensie bekendgestel. Die naam is soortgelyk aan die reeds bestaande Office 365 (en die onlangse naamverandering van Dynamics 365). Heelwat mense het in der waarheid alreeds Office 365 eerder Microsoft 365 begin noem.

So dis maklik om te sien hoe hierdie twee produkte verwar kan word met mekaar. Dit raak selfs meer verwarrend as jy besef dat Microsoft 365 ook Office 365 insluit.

Kom ons kyk na die verskille:

Die kort weergawe

Office 365 is ’n wolkgebaseerde stel produktiwiteitstoepassings soos Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, ens. Microsoft 365 is ’n groep dienste wat Office 365 insluit, sowel as etlike ander dienste, insluitende Windows 10 Enterprise.

Die lang weergawe

Office 365

Office 365 is ’n wolkgebaseerde stel toepassings en dienste gebou rondom produktiwiteit in besigheid. Dit sluit toepassings in wat jy waarskynlik reeds ken, soos Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Skype for Business, SharePoint, OneDrive en Teams, sowel as ander kragtige produktiwiteit-, saamwerk- en sekuriteitseienskappe.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is ’n groep dienste wat Office 365 insluit. Dit sluit ook Windows 10 Enterprise, Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) en masjienleer in. Soos die naam aandui is dit meer gerig op groter organisasies wat ’n enkele, veilige platform benodig waar daar gedeel en saamgewerk moet word. Dit sluit sterk data-eienskappe bo en behalwe Windows 10 Pro en Office 365.

Wat is ingesluit by Microsoft 365 in vergelyking met Office 365?

Beide produkte het die vermoeë om volledig geïnstalleerde Office-toepassings op fone, tablette en PCs te loop, sowel as die webblaaier weergawes. Jy kry 1TB persoonlike stoorplek vir jou lêers, besigheid e-posse en kalenders. Jy het ook toegang tot Skype for Business vir kitsboodskappe en video-oproepe, sowel as Microsoft Teams en nuwe hulpmiddels soos Delve en Planner.

Die verskil kom in by die bestuur van toestelle. Anders as Office 365, kom Microsoft 365 met ’n enkele konsole waar gebruikers en toestelle bestuur kan word. Jy kan ook outomaties Office-toepassings uitrol na Windows 10 PCs.

Office 365 het geen sekuriteitshulpmiddele nie. Die alternatief het die vermoeë om data te beskerm oor verskeie toestelle en ook veilige toegang. Jy kan ook Windows 10 toestelle beskerm teen risiko’s soos malware deur middel van Windows Defender.

[:en]OneDrive for Business: Anonymous file sharing[:af]OneDrive for Business: Anonieme deel van lêers    [:]

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

[:en]

Information Technology recently assessed our OneDrive for Business platform to ensure that no security risks exist for our users and network. During this assessment we identified a number of users who are currently using the anonymous sharing function (“Anyone with the link can view and edit”) on OneDrive.

With anonymous file sharing there is no control or record of who has access to the shared files. Anybody who has the link can access and/or edit the files. This poses a security risk for the University and our users. For this reason we are compelled to switch off anonymous usage.

From Thursday, 1 February 2018 you will no longer be able to share files anonymously on OneDrive. Sharing will still be possible with internal and external users, but at a higher security level.

Guides on best practices for sharing files on OneDrive is available www.sun.ac.za/itselfhelp under the Office365 section or directly on this page. If you are have any enquiries, please contact the IT Service Desk by emailing help@sun.ac.za or calling our Service Desk at 808 4367.

Informasietegnologie het onlangs ons OneDrive for Businessplatform herevalueer om te verseker dat daar nie enige sekuriteitsrisiko’s vir ons gebruikers en netwerk is nie. Na aanleiding van die evaluering het ons ʼn aantal gebruikers geïdentifiseer wat die anonieme funksie (“Anyone with the link can view and edit”) op OneDrive gebruik om lêers te deel.

Indien lêers anoniem gedeel word, is daar geen beheer of rekord van wie toegang tot die gedeelde lêers het nie. Enige persoon met die skakel het toegang en kan inhoud verander. Dit bied ʼn hoë sekuriteitsrisiko vir die Universiteit en ons gebruikers. Gevolglik is ons verplig om die anonieme deel van lêers af te skakel.

Vanaf Donderdag, 1 Februarie 2018 sal jy nie meer lêers anoniem kan deel op OneDrive nie. Dit sal steeds moontlik wees om inligting te deel met interne en eksterne gebruikers, maar met ʼn strenger vlak van sekuriteit.

Handleidings vir die beste praktyk vir deel van lêers op OneDrive is beskikbaar by www.sun.ac.za/itselfhelp onder die Office365 afdeling of direk op hierdie bladsy. Indien jy enige navrae het, kontak asb. die IT Dienstoonbank deur e-pos te stuur aan help@sun.ac.za of 808 4367 te skakel.

[:en]OneDrive: 5TB just for you[:af]OneDrive: 5TB net vir jou[:]

Since June staff members have full access to the online Office365 applications. Besides Outlook email, SharePoint Online, access to the MS Office apps (for example Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and being able to download Office 2016, there is one significant advantage of using the Office365 suite – OneDrive.

OneDrive provides 5TB of cloud storage space for each staff member and student. This means you now have ample space to store your documents and your data will be available from anywhere, anytime, on any device with an internet connection.

What are the advantages of cloud services? 

  • More storage space available, up to 5TB on OneDrive and 50GB on Outlook.
  • Your data is available from anywhere, anytime, on any device. You’ll always have access to your data if you have an internet connection.
  • Your information is also safely stored, even if you lose one of your devices.  

What are the disadvantages of cloud services?  

  • Familiarise yourself with copyright regulations. Make sure you know what you are allowed to store and share online.  SU copyright agreements do not extend to storing of documents protected under the copyright law on OneDrive for business or any other public store space.
  • You are entirely responsible for your own information. Be careful who you give rights and access to, as it will compromise your information if it’s visible to other people.
  • You are responsible for synchronisation between online and local data. Synchronisation between online and local information needs to be set up correctly and done on a regular basis.
  • Keep in mind that access to cloud services when on campus will not incur any costs, but if you work from home your own data will be utilised.
  • It is very important that you keep your private usernames, passwords and information separate from your official work, to prevent your data from getting mixed up.
  • Having access to the cloud from any computer makes your digital identification vulnerable, do not use computers you do not trust to access your cloud services.

What if I have been using OneDrive personal, Dropbox and other cloud storage options? 

You can keep on using them, but it is very important that you only use these storage options for your personal data.

OneDrive for business and SharePoint online are available under the US MS Licence agreement for storage and sharing of institutional data. The storage and sharing of institutional data are not allowed on Dropbox, OneDrive personal or any other cloud storage. 

How do I get access to my OneDrive storage space?

All staff automatically has access to OneDrive. Log on to Office365 with your email address and password. OneDrive is also accessible via the portal by clicking on the Office365 link or searching for Office365 in the search field.

IMPORTANT:

  • When using cloud-based services, you have to keep your private and work usernames, passwords and data separate. Never use the same username for private and work email accounts, storage spaces and applications.
  • SU copyright agreements do not extend to storing and sharing of documents protected under the copyright law on OneDrive for business, SharePoint online or any other public store spaces.

 

 

If you have any questions, please let us know by logging a request on ServiceNow or calling our Service Desk at 808 4367. For more information on the Office365 package, please consult our FAQs or have a look at the Office365 training videos.

Sedert Junie vanjaar het alle personeel volledige toegang tot die aanlyn Office65-toepassings. Buiten Outlook e-pos, toegang tot die MS-toepassings (byvoorbeeld Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ens.) en die aflaaibare Office 2016 programmatuur, is daar een voordeel wat uitstaan bo die res – OneDrive. 

OneDrive gee vir elke personeellid en student 5TB se wolkstoorspasie. Dit beteken dat jy nou oorgenoeg spasie het om jou dokumente te stoor. Jou data sal ook beskikbaar wees vanaf enige plek, enige tyd en met enige toestel wat aan die internet verbind is. 

Wat is die voordele van wolkdienste?

  • Meer stoorspasie beskikbaar – tot 5TB op OneDrive en 50GB op Outlook.
  • Jou data is beskikbaar vanaf enige plek, enige tyd en op enige toestel. Jy sal altyd toegang tot jou data hê as jy `ʼn internetverbinding het. 
  • Jou inligting word veilig gestoor, selfs al verloor jy een van jou toestelle. 

Wat is die nadele van wolkdienste? 

  • Raak vertroud met kopiereg-regulasies. Maak seker jy weet wat jy aanlyn mag stoor en deel. US kopiereg-ooreenkomste sluit nie die stoor en deel van dokumente wat beskerm word onder kopiereg op OneDrive for businessSharePoint online of enige ander publieke stoorspasies in nie.
  • Jy is volledig verantwoordelik vir jou eie inligting.  Wees versigtig vir wie jy regte en toegang gee, aangesien dit jou inligting in gevaar mag stel as dit sigbaar is vir ander mense. 
  • Jy is verantwoordelik vir die sinkronisasie tussen aanlyn en plaaslike data. Sinkronisasie tussen aanlyn en plaaslike data moet korrek opgestel word en op `ʼn gereelde basis uitgevoer word. 
  • Hou in gedagte dat die gebruik van wolkdienste terwyl jy op kampus is, nie enigiets sal kos nie, maar as jy tuis werk sal jou eie datakostes gehef word. 
  • Dit is baie belangrik dat jy jou privaat gebruikersname, wagwoorde en inligting apart hou van jou amptelike werk om te voorkom dat jou data deurmekaar raak. 
  • Digitale identifikasie is kwesbaar as jy toegang tot die wolk het vanaf enige rekenaar. Moenie rekenaars of toestelle wat jy nie vertrou nie, toelaat om jou wolkdienste te gebruik nie. 

Wat as ek OneDrive personal, Dropbox of ander wolkopsies gebruik? 

Jy kan aanhou om dit te gebruik, maar dis baie belangrik dat jy hierdie opsies slegs vir persoonlike data gebruik.

OneDrive for business en SharePoint online is beskikbaar onder die US MS lisensieooreenkoms vir stoor en deel van institusionele data. Stoor en deel van institusionele data word nie toegelaat op Dropbox, OneDrive personal of enige ander wolkstoorspasie nie. 

Hoe kry ek toegang tot my OneDrive spasie?

Alle personeel het reeds outomaties toegang tot OneDrive. Jy hoef net op Office365 aan te teken met jou e-posadres en wagwoord. Dis ook beskikbaar op die portaal deur op die Office365 skakel te kliek of Office365 in die soekveld in te tik.

BELANGRIK:

  • Wanneer jy wolkgebaseerde dienste gebruik, is dit geweldig belangrik dat jy jou privaat-gebruikersname en werk-gebruikersname, wagwoorde en data apart van mekaar gehou word. Moet nooit dieselfde gebruikersnaam vir jou privaat en werk-eposrekeninge, -stoorspasie en -toepassings gebruik nie.
  • US kopiereg-ooreenkomste sluit nie die stoor en deel van dokumente beskerm onder kopiereg op OneDrive for businessSharePoint online of enige ander publieke stoorspasies in nie.

Indien jy enige navrae het, laat weet ons asseblief deur `n versoek aan te meld op ServiceNow of ons Dienstoonbank te kontak by 808 4367. Vir meer inligting oor die Office365 pakket, raadpleeg asseblief ons FAQs of kyk na die Office365 opleidingsvideos.
