Likelihood to Recommend Grammarly is a step ahead of the traditional spelling and grammar checking tool that is in-built with Microsoft Word. There are scenarios when you have to write long-form content, and depending on your normal day-to-day way of speech, you tend to write content using the same tone and sentence constructs. There may be nothing "wrong" as such, but Grammarly points out those small glitches in your text, which you considered to be correct but is not really correct. One such area is the usage of "passive voice" in the sentences that I used to write. I find Grammarly really helpful here.

Grammarly itself does not guarantee 100% correctness. Sometimes, it does not remove the marked error even when you have corrected it. Its MS office version faces some issues with plagiarism detection. I have to go on the web version to use plagiarism detection.

Read full review Usability It's great software to use but has much to be desired. Because I'm used to using Microsoft Word and Google Docs, using Grammarly for sentence structure can be challenging. The suggestions that appear help with grammatical corrections, but it doesn't fix line breaks. I think something like that would help streamline sentence structure.
Read full review Support Rating I have not really used customer support. I used the FAQ page to see how to re-install Grammarly because it wasn't functioning properly in longer documents. It seems to be working better now, but it still does not always underline all of the issues in the actual text. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to know where the errors are located.
