A good introduction, but lacking for the exam.
This book is basically a collection of TechNet articles re-written to cover the topics as outlined by Microsoft for the 70-347 Exam.I have been implementing and managing O365 solutions for a few years now and this book would have been a wonderful introduction if I had very little experience. As it was this book value lies in that it has collated many of the TechNet articles a semi organised way.I have sat and passed both the O365 exams, and quite honestly without the experience I already had, if I was relying only on this book I would have failed. This is more a critiscism of the way MS does it's exams, with questions coming up on the exams that really seem to have very little do with the criteria that they set out, than with the content of this book.If you are planning on sitting the exam you will probably need more than just this book to pass.

OK but out of date and not much more than an outline of the topics.
This book is OK for listing most of the topics (some are missed and not covered in the content but then referred to in the practice questions) but most of the actual content is missing with links provided to the Microsoft documentation. Links are very long and cumbersome to type into a browser, may be better as ebook if the links worked.Due to the rate that Microsoft updates the O365 platform, the book is out of date. If studying for the Exam, you would be better looking on the Microsoft Certification website for the exam and following the links from there to to documentation.

Content was good but contained a lot of consistency errors.
Useful book for studying for the exam although answers section needs to be more detailed when reading on a kindle instead of just stating this command should be used as its not easy to flick between questions and answers. Numerous consistency errors throughout the book need sorting out.

Good Book for Introduction and covering basic concepts
A very basic book not sure if there is enough material to pass the exam so am also looking at Microsoft Virtual Academy videos[...]
