Nubo SuiteNubo Suite or Microsoft 365: which fits your team?
Choose Microsoft 365 if your work depends on desktop Office, VBA macros, Power Automate or Intune, or if clients exchange Word files with tracked changes all day. Choose Nubo Suite if you mainly need mail, documents, chat and meetings and you also pay for a CRM, invoicing, help desk or project tool, and you want one price per person for all of it.
The short answer

- You want one bill for mail, documents, CRM, invoicing and projects.
- Your team works in the browser and wants a smaller suite it can understand in a day.
- You pay separately today for a CRM, a help desk or an invoicing tool.
Choose Microsoft 365 if
- You rely on VBA macros, Power Automate, Power BI or Intune device management.
- Your clients exchange .docx files with tracked changes and need exact Word fidelity.
- A contract or compliance requirement ties you to Microsoft.

What moves, and how
File formats that carry over. Nubo has no migration tool; this is what you do by hand, and we can help.
| You have | Move it as | Nubo app | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Word documents (.docx) | .docx | Write | Opens and saves .docx and keeps tracked formatting. Very complex files can differ, so check important ones. |
| Excel workbooks (.xlsx) | .xlsx | Sheets | Reads and writes .xlsx, including charts linked to ranges. Nubo does not state support for VBA macros: test macro workbooks before you move. |
| PowerPoint decks (.pptx) | .pptx | Slides | Edits the native file. Unsupported features in a complex deck may not all appear. |
| Calendar | iCalendar (.ics) | Calendar | Import an .ics file or a JSON backup. |
| Contacts | vCard (.vcf) version 3.0 | Contacts | Microsoft documents a CSV export for Outlook contacts. Contacts imports .vcf; the CRM imports CSV. Tell us what you have and we will advise. |
| PDF files | Edit, annotate, merge and convert in the browser. | ||
| Mailbox (Outlook .pst) | Not importable | Nubo has no mail import tool and cannot read .pst files. Keep your old mailbox and forward new mail while you switch. See the switch guide. |
Where Nubo falls short today
The honest limits, so nothing surprises you after you sign up.
- There is no mail import tool and no one-click migration. Files move as the formats listed above, and we help you plan the rest by hand.
- Nubo is a young company with a smaller catalogue of third-party add-ons and integrations than the large suites.
- The AI assistant is text only. Nubo does not generate images, video or speech, and it does not read text from scans.
- Reminders and scheduled sends in some apps run only while the app is open in a browser. The app says so where it matters.
- Nubo does not run desktop Office apps. Everything works in the browser.
