For tasks like financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and data visualization, I frequently use Microsoft Excel. I can develop financial models, use pivot tables to examine enormous datasets, and produce eye-catching visualizations thanks to its comprehensive features. I have, however, also come across circumstances in which Excel isn't the best tool.Excel falls short of alternatives like Google Sheets when I need to collaborate with my team in real-time. I favor employing robust database management systems or data analysis tools like SQL, Python, or R for managing very big data sets or sophisticated calculations. I use specialized tools like SPSS, SAS, or programming languages for better outcomes when complex statistical analysis or machine learning are necessary. And finally, for formatting elaborate reports, In conclusion, even though I consider Excel to be a great tool for many finance jobs, there are some limits in collaborating, processing big amounts of data, performing complex analysis, and creating documents that I take into account when choosing the best tool for the job.Incentivized
As a project management tool, especially with more straightforward timelines and components, ProjectLibre is a great alternative to some of the costly PM software tools. I have managed many projects with both MS Project and ProjectLibre, and I think ProjectLibre is a great alternative, especially when I've worked in regions of the world where users cannot afford other PM tools.Incentivized
It is very good at embedded formulas and tying cells to one anotherIt allows me to compare deals terms on a side-by-side basis and talk my clients through it easily.It is very helpful as well in terms of allowing me to filter/sort results in many different ways depending on what specific information I am most interested in prioritizing.Incentivized

It takes little time to plan out a project with key dates and provides a nice graphic.Incentivized
Counting conditionally formatted cells (e.g., you have 5 green cells, 10 red ones, and 3 orange ones in a row).Merging cells in a table; I have to remove the table first and then re-add the table to merge cells together.Offering more preset colour categories for formatting graphs.Built-in functions to run ANOVAs, Multiple Linear Regression, Factor Analysis, etc.Incentivized
Customer service is not there - I understand that the product is open source but some kind of forum with FAQs, etc. can come in handyApp crashes at time for no reason. There have been instances where you try to create a new task and all the diagrams and other items get messed upIncentivized
It comes with MS Office. Unless we stop using PCs or Microsoft Office, it's highly unlikely, even imperceivable to not continue to use Excel. It would be nice to see more Excel functions used, though, beside basic tables and calculations.Incentivized
Microsoft excel stands out in its User Interface as compared to any other software which offers same functionality. It can be used by a beginner as well as the expert in the same field. It is having many features as we dig deep in it like advance functions, dynamic arrays, pivot, VBA and Macros.
I have rarely, if ever, had issues with its availability.Incentivized
Again it does what I need it to do with little to no issues.Incentivized
I have not had to use it often, but it is good.Incentivized
There are a lot of discussions online about it, and a customer addition based manual. While that can lead to some confusion, I am not the kind of person who likes talking on the phone. So it is easier to go online with ProjectLibre!Incentivized
We utilize Tableau and Alteryx in addition to Excel. We use Excel since we have a data dump that could be utilized in feeding for these two solutions. We select Excel for some manual work then plug the data into the other two tools for further analysis around text analytics like word clouds in Tableau, or text mining in Alteryx. Excel is an input data source that we use in conjunction with these two.Incentivized
We decided to go with ProjectLibre because it is a free tool and there is a great community that supports us in case there are any questions or concerns about the software. This has allowed us to be able to invest time without having to worry about licensing costs or anything else.Incentivized

It integrates well with all cross functional teams Incentivized
Excel has positively impacted the business as it has increased our efficiency.It also saves us the time that we would have spent on making the calculations that it does for us.Since it works on all devices and is compatible with both Windows and Mac, we do not have to invest in any other alternative.
ProjectLibre is free so it has allowed us to collaborate on MS Project files for users that run a Mac or Linux machineLearning curve is minimal since it so closely resembles MS ProjectNot all MS Project features (especially the newer editions) are present but it's best for users that are not the primary PM to user ProjectLibre.Incentivized
