NATEX Work vs. Microsoft 365
A factual, line-by-line comparison. We name what Microsoft 365 does well, and we name what we do not have yet.
| Area | Microsoft 365 | NATEX Work |
|---|---|---|
| Email + calendar | Outlook, per seat | A triage inbox for Gmail, Outlook and IMAP beside a calendar, with drafts you approve, included on every plan. Archive and read state do not write back to your provider yet, and there are no threads or attachments. |
| Docs, sheets, decks | Word, Excel, PowerPoint | Docs, sheets with a formula engine and charts, and slides with present mode and PDF export, importing and exporting .docx, .xlsx and .pptx. Younger than Word, Excel and PowerPoint, with fewer formatting tools. |
| Real-time co-editing | Word/Excel/PowerPoint Online | Docs and Sheets co-edit live, with presence and a conflict indicator. |
| Team chat + channels | Teams chat and channels | Team channels, direct messages, and announcements in the same workspace as your tasks and calendar. |
| Video meetings and calling | Teams meetings, webinars, calling | Browser audio and video calls for up to six people with screen share, plus Zoom and Google Meet through integrations. Not built: webinars, lobbies and phone dialing. |
| Sales pipeline / CRM | Not part of the suite | A lightweight CRM with a deal board, relationship-strength scoring, and reporting, built in. |
| Invoicing | Not part of the suite | Line items, tax, totals and status, built in. |
| Automation | Power Automate, separate license | A visual automation builder and background teammates, included on every plan. |
| AI assistant | Copilot, priced per seat on top of the suite | Built in on every plan: every change the assistant proposes previews as a plain-language command before it runs (see Security). |
| Single sign-on / directory sync | Entra ID, SSO and SCIM | Not built yet. |
| Admin and compliance controls | Purview, Intune, Defender, eDiscovery | Workspace-level roles (admin/manager/member) and an audit trail exist; suite-wide compliance tooling does not. |
| Migration from Microsoft 365 | — | A guided bulk import for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 contacts, email, and events, reusing the same preview-then-commit flow as everything else. |
If your team’s day-to-day depends on webinars, phone calling, SSO and SCIM, or suite-wide compliance tooling, NATEX Work is not a full replacement yet. For everything else on this table, the assistant is included in the plan instead of sold as a per-seat AI add-on. See pricing and NATEX Work for teams.
