Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
I have a version of Office 365 that I purchased through godaddy as well as the top of the line Microsoft 365 E5 license. I do that in order to compar

Bottom line be aware that the different vendor implementations of 365 means you may not have all the options you see talked about on the web.
Isn’t this situation unique to GoDaddy?
“Every time you have to sign in to a Microsoft site for anything the first thing that happens is it kicks you to a new window for GD- and GD has done jack **bleep** to make this process seamless.
…
Office 365 as a Microsoft service is fluid and seamless as designed and comes with Microsoft support as well!!!
DO NOT USE GODADDY OFFICE 365!”
“I purchased my Office 365 Business plan through GoDaddy. I feel so violated!!!”
“I will tell you that this so called “Email and Office” product thing is no more than “” Marketing Ransomware “” they will nickle, and dime you to death, and not even offer you more value than MS
…
I agree for Office 365 GD is not the answer!!!”
“GD Office 365 is a rip off and most importantly, it is a IT management nightmare.”
“The Godaddy Office 365 product does not have all the same features compared to buying direct from Microsoft for pretty much if not the same price. Don’t be fooled by Godaddy sales people like I was.
…
Just buy from Microsoft … I feel silly for not realizing this.”
“The godaddy team, while being nice and trying to help, is utterly useless when it comes to troubleshooting ANYTHING related to Office 365. The product capabilities are slightly reduced, but the worst thing is that the integration of the godaddy portal and the M$ portal to administrate some is the most useless piece of sh..t development I have seen in my 30+ years in IT. Nothing really works
…
DON’T USE GODADDY FOR O365 !!!”
“The downside to this is that you have limited control over your Office 365 tenant.
…
These tasks are relatively simple with the built in tools Microsoft has for Office 365, but are a challenge with GoDaddy controlling the tenant.”
“Can’t agree with you more on this. GoDaddy chops what M$ intended at the knees and then pretends it doesnt know what you mean that there should be more administrative tools with you O365 subscription than they give you. Never ever ever use GD’s verison of O365.”
“Subscribing to MS Office 365 through GD was a HUGE mistake.
…
The only benefit I’ve gotten out of this cluster is a big boost in my self-taught IT skills,”
“Regarding the office 365 business premium, I would buy it from anywhere other than GoDaddy. The recurring costs is where they get you (and their flavor of o365 sucks).”

(Comments from different customers on just one thread at GoDaddy Community forums.)
Like Applocker and other new security features only available on Enterprise versions? 
I think any serious security feature should not be available only to certain versions. It reduces the security on the Internet for everyone and for no real benefits. I don’t think people who choose Enterprise would not do it because the security features are now available in Home and Pro version.
