It's great for anything that needs to hold data and process it into automation. It's a bit limiting if you like multi-line text fields or rich text fields. They lose a bit of their capability to filter.

Usability
The first time I learned about Microsoft Lists, I was automatically converted. How I wish I had learned about Microsoft Lists early on; it could have saved me tons of time, and could have rendered me real-time reports regarding my work, as the data I work with usually keeps changing every time. I believe the best part of it is that it works well with other Microsoft products, so less stressful.

Google Sheets is less superior than Microsoft Lists. I believe that the automation that Lists is capable of doing isn't something Sheets can do. Microsoft Lists is way better than Microsoft Excel because of the extra features of automation and integration. Somehow, they are not directly comparable, but for someone who just wants to view data in real-time, it is always better at Lists. It is important to note that it is very easy to download data from Lists and continue working on it with Excel
