In-Depth Review
Microsoft 365 Copilot's advantage is positional: it sits inside the tools enterprise knowledge workers already spend their day in, so the value shows up without anyone changing how they work.
Where it genuinely helps
- Meetings and email. Summarising a Teams call or a long thread is the feature people use daily and would miss.
- First drafts. PowerPoint decks and document outlines appear instantly, ready to edit.
The trade-offs
- Expensive per-user add-on — the cost adds up fast across a large organisation, and not everyone will use it enough to justify their seat.
- Excel integration is still finicky with complex models.
- It can hallucinate internal data if permissions and scope are not set correctly — a governance task, not a checkbox.
Who should use it
Enterprise knowledge workers, project managers and executives who live in Outlook, Teams and Office. Roll it out to the roles that will use the meeting and drafting features heavily rather than as a blanket license.
